The "wild extrapolations" you snarl from your armchair are manifestly untrue. You appear to have nothing of value to add, so I'm done with you. Go yell at a cloud.

Our Darkest Hour YouTube video by Paul Krugman

Seeing someone like Paul Krugman in the same boat as the rest of us, as at sea as the rest of us, as flabbergasted as the rest of us, is frightening. It also makes our vast country feel like one small, beleaguered family.

Even if Trump is "bluffing," the US may never come back from this. Whether you voted for him or not, the rest of the world sees this guy as our collective will. To everyone else, we are a landmass teeming with viciousness. We have a very high bar to prove that's not true.

All of my Congressional reps phone lines are busy, which is good? I suppose? I hope their staff are being inundated with the collective outrage and fear of all their constituents.

In other words, terroristic threats made by the President of the United States constitute war crimes.

BREAKING: Extraordinary scenes as Iranian citizens start forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites.

This is Kazerun Power Plant in Fars province, southern Iran

(🎥 i24 News)

Keep in mind that Trump's threats communicated in his tweets are themselves war crimes.

Astonishing juxtaposition right now between the sublime glories one is rewarded with from collaborative, outward-looking human endeavour, to the tunnel of fear and loathing that an individual human can trap themselves in, which leads to nowhere but a singularity of horror & destruction.

Renowned Iranian composer, Ali Ghamsari and tar virtuoso, announced he will stay at the Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant.

His plan: Create music there as a symbolic effort to shield Iran's infrastructure from attack. @iranscreenshot

... In a functional country?

Oh! I wondered what those were!

Wasn't that the plot of Rocketship XM?

I hope the resulting pay will be worth it. 🤞

Of course. No one would say otherwise.

False. I remember what the Apollo astronauts were like, which is why I can draw the distinction. They came from the fighter pilot culture of WWII and Korea, and test pilot programs. They were reserved, laconic, and competitive. And they complained about being reduced to glorified test subjects.

Sigh. An editing option would be nice.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption:

"The highest quality video of the moon was just released…
so beautiful

* Artemis II"

It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

Seeing Dr Kelsey Young just LOSING HER SHIT hearing that #Artemis saw meteor impact flashes on the Moon is giving me such joy!

They're so different from the Apollo crews. The warmth and tenderness of the Artemis crew would have been unthinkable from Apollo's macho test pilots.

I know, it could have been a worthwhile parallel Earth... If only!

I'm sorry, we have no record of you in any of our files.

It's going to take some adjustment to think of the Moon as brown ball of rock, rather than a silvery disc. A medicine ball, rather than a compact disc.

Worked out almost exactly. That final heartbeat into the silence, then Reacquisition Of Signal. #Artemis #DSOTM

6 minutes until Loss Of Signal, then #Artemis will be incommunicado for about 40 minutes.

The perfect time to listen to Dark Side of the Moon.

Did I just go buy some Nutella? Damn right I did. Tonight will be #Artemis viewing in SENSURROUND.

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

Probably saving it for the Loss of Signal. Hopefully timed so it ends as they return.

Accidental product placement! Now it's the Official Snack of SPAAAAAACE 🚀 #Artemis

I didn't anticipate seeing such an emotional moment from space, with group crying and a group hug among the astronauts. I'm rather misty-eyed, myself. #Artemis
