"we're sending humanoid robots to work on the moon" first of all no you aren't, secondly have you seen how bad regular people are in low gravity
in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon
Granted I'm not smart enough to be a SpaceX investor but if I was, I think I would have questions about why you need humanoid robots working in factories on the moon, presumably making things that would need to get shipped back to earth
Ok look, if you accidentally crash into something as HUGE as the moon then it seems to me that you've got a real problem with fundamental space stuff like orbital dynamics, gravity wells, mission planning, and/or equipment reliability.
We're literally just letting the richest man in the world commit vandalism on an extraplanetary scale.

A quick news search about Flock pulls up hundreds of articles about people destroying cameras all around the country. Really looks like the public is sick of this shit.
People are destroying flock cameras in towns and cities all over the country. Seems to have really taken off this summer. What a phenomenon. Wow.
And they're starting their reunion tour next month in Portland. 😹
I saw these guys at the Troubadour before they got big
I don't think using the same jacked up bro imagery as MAGA incels is the future of Democratic Party messaging.
I don’t call myself a blue dog Dem, a yellow dog Dem, a DSA Dem, a centrist Dem, or a progressive Dem: I call myself a Big Dawg Dem, where our only platform is kicking MAGA’s ass in elections. Anyone else?

I'm here to whine that I'm tried of writing and have to finish a (thank god the) last essay on "Godzilla Minus One" by tonight. The body is written. I will probably finish by dinner time but I need a break. This week and next I have to write two more research papers. Yes, I did this to myself.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
one of my random extended family members told me "its all George Soros" when he was yelling about some story that painted Modi in a bad light, and I asked him to explain it to me, and he basically spluttered about the Open Society as if it has any influence in Modi's India. No logic, just pure hate.
At a moment of rising anti-government CJP protests in Delhi, the Hindutva right is denying that the protests are organic by blaming them on George Soros. Even in a place with no particular history of the rootless cosmopolitan Jew as the Other, they’re imbibing the same online right-wing tropes.

Honolulu once had a thriving, heavily utilized streetcar network, but like many major cities across North America, it was dismantled in favor of buses and cars. Now we wonder how to deal with congestion as everyone sits in traffic.

Last year the NYT reported on how SEAL Team Six stormed into North Korea, accidentally murdered a bunch of fishermen, punctured their lungs so their bodies would sink & then stormed out. Trump is now trying to force one reporter to reveal his sources: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
the only thing to be said about covid lockdowns is that it revealed the startling number of people who feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract that they also do not feel bound by
