Trump: have you heard of this? It’s my new favorite phrase: the means of production. Isn’t that great. Means of production. We have to control it and are looking at some very strong stuff to do this

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

The Falcon rocket exited development for its first commercial deployment in 2012 and the success of this program is basically the only reason why everyone assumes this idiotic superheavy Starship program will work eventually. It's pure faith completely detached from engineering or design principles

lol this image from last night shows SpaceX is popping open LOX tanks during routine pressure testing. The Starship program was being hyped as closing in on rapid commercial launch cadence 2-3 years ago

Basically unrelated but I was extremely active on the official Sony System of a Down forum circa 2003, 2004 and the day I learned to post pictures using markup, I posted so many that mods banned me for a month.

...then the camera designed to always have a (relatively) warm planetary surface filling the entire field of view has to take a picture of a very distant, cold object. The planning & processing s/w makes assumptions about what kind of pictures HiRISE takes and how MRO moves, so some is done by hand.

Epstein survivor Jena-Lisa Jones: "Trump really ran his campaign on this. This is why I voted for him. The release of these files has been so important for me for so long that when he run on that, I really had some hope that someone would do something about it."

With the Top Golf news, it's pretty wild. There’s a whole industry dedicated to buying up stuff you love and killing it. This should be the premise of a dystopian novel, not like a fact of life.
