So my card got skimmed at a gas station. I could tell because they bought a Cursor and ChatGPT subscription. Thieves these days have to steal to steal.

In honor of (hopefully) today's launch of NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon in more than 50 years, here is a to-scale graphic of exactly how far away the Moon actually is. (Click image to expand.) You could fit about 30 Earths between the Earth and the Moon!

A scale illustration of the Earth and the Moon, with the Earth on the far left, lots of black, and then the Moon on the far right, about 30 Earth diameters away.

I am telling you my very honest belief that I no longer understand what Democrats stand for. I feel quite strongly they put corporate interests over their constituents. And this sort of behavior tells me they think what matters is the magic words that get them elected. I'm tired of it.

Look at this image (and thread - use the translate service). This one reads along the lines of: "..Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) without cleaning. In just 15 minutes of acquisition, we counted 1,659 satellite trails (about 400 individual ones). Words cannot describe the pollution of near space." 🔭

3/4. En esta imagen se muestra el mismo campo estelar del Cometa C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) sin limpiar. En solo 15 minutos de adquisición, contamos 1659 trazas de satélites (unos 400 individuales). Sobran las palabras para describir la contaminación del espacio cercano.
