New from me:
Kash Patel is engaged in purges, removal of real accountability, and impunity for loyalists at the FBI.
Researchers told me that these are the exact patterns that create abusive national security organizations under authoritarianism. 🧵

Watching House of Dynamite rn and my main note is that repeating the same suspense over and over has a diminishing return on emotional impact. Personally would have preferred a post-explosion story line about the atrocity caused even by one bomb. The people who survived, at first.

This is what Jupiter looks like in the infrared.
Its hot, lower atmosphere shining through the cooler cloud layers above.
You show me Jupiter and I'll show you a planet that wants you dead.

Ronald Reagan moved Space Station Freedom to a 52 degree inclination, making it useless as a staging point for deep space exploration, to create the ISS which mitigated former Soviet rocket/space brain drain to "rogue states". The ISS stands as an enduring testament to global collaboration.
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Just over an hour until the scheduled launch for ESCAPADE. New Glenn is fueled and so far it’s a greenboard here at Cape Canaveral.
Liftoff is scheduled for 2:57 PM EST
