I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

I occasionally go look through my old twitter feed while not interacting, one thing I want to point out is that my following page is currently inundated with UK, alt-right bots pushing a pro-Farage agenda. This means Musk is tampering in @ukparliament.parliament.uk elections as he did with the US

Not to sow discord but why would I willingly give information on my project (already likely under heavy scrutiny by this admin) for them to be able to more easily find my work that likely doesn’t align with their values? This is a self-snitch form.

I literally do not understand the end game here. What's the purpose of all this except to sow chaos and make us weaker and sicker?

The AVMA has warned that the risks to felines are extremely high with this H5N1 strain going around. Raw poultry of ANY kind is a huge no-go for anyone. If you HAVE to raw feed for health reasons talk to your vet about safe COOKED alternatives for your pet to switch to.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

not to be that person but DOGE has BEEN at NASA HQ ever since the federal government saw fit to give Elon Musk repeated federal contracts to SpaceX and Trump's appointed judges refused to hear FAA reports that cited massive regulations failures in his rockets but what do I know

There's a rumour going around that during the #SuperBowl that Elon Musk will be airing commercials that he's paid for "himself" to showcase all the waste that his new department has found in the government. You'll likely be shocked to find that none of the waste will be contracts that benefit him.
