Say it with me
Pack the fucking court

We've done it before, we can do it again.
The good thing about it is you are wrong. So take comfort in that.
Pivots are easy and URLs ain't cheap.
The Media doesn't really allow itself a long memory in the current news cycle
Wow being corrected by the worst student at Springfield elementary is a rare honor
The industry is moving into the space station space (pardon the pun). NASA is focused on a moon base now.

The ISS outlived its* initial mission role almost a decade ago.
Don't ignore the flawed polling data his model is based on
2016 was dire, but Nate Silver is often wrong. Polling as it is done today is unreliable at best, and outright lies at worst.
Vote locally, build support networks and hopefully we can weather whatever comes.
Who exactly is included when you say theirs? Reactionary language regardless of target, scope or ideology is rarely productive.
Direct response to this https://www.newsweek.com/us-navy-monitoring-russian-warships-submarine-near-miami-1914616 and not much more than saber rattling
Well they can also operate unobserved for 9months to a year depending on food stocks and personnel
It's a blessing and a curse how faithful this movie was to Klaus and Frank's original artwork
There's too much debris up there to do what you propose. The ISS would just be another nucleation point for more debris. We have TBs of data from the ISS and that's where preservation efforts are being focused.

This is what I was referring to
https://newatlas.com/cleanspace-one-orbital-debris-satellite/38348/
And also the fact the Russians are creating clouds of space debris while they test anti satellite missiles

The joke/reference being that we should send up a couple cleanspace orbitals to decomm the satellites the Russians are using for target practice.
The best way to avoid all this space junk is to plan for decom at the initial steps for any satellite mission.
What ever happened to that Swiss space junk net? I feel like we could just go around and hoover up all the Russian satellites they seem to be using for target practice.
This isn't about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That's pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I'm also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion.
I'm not even talking about necessarily in this community directly, however in a lot of other spaces I've noticed a lot of accounts using divisive language and terms like "The ineffectual left" "single issue voters" "ignorant right wing morons". Lots of straw man arguments, lots of willful ignorance.
I'm not a centrist, I'm very very very far left however I know well enough not to patently dismiss the talking points of others, outside of course calls to genocide. I know what dog whistles sound like, and I'm hearing a lot of them lately.
Most egregiously I'm seeing very long form post replies that read very much like what is generated from LLMs.
So I guess my question is, how're we all fairing with what might be the largest Turing test ever?
