Regular reminder to keep these three statements in your head at the same time: The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

There is a point in life when you realize that the future belongs to younger people than yourself, and your job is to assist them.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Today is International Biodiversity day!
What does that have to do with rockets?
Some of the satellites we send to space are used to track biodiversity... and our designers like to do cool infographics that compare payloads to animal weight!
You’re whale-come! 🐋

Two swords, a stick
A couple sai
Some nunchuck tricks
Those Ninja boys-a callin
Cowabunga

FWIW: As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had to acknowledge the sad fact that in this world of ours, bullies often prosper. But my loathing of bullies has also intensified over the years. And as bullies are ultimately weak, I do think the Putins, Trumps, & Musks, if confronted and resisted, can be defeated.

Discworld QOTD, from A Hat Full Of Sky
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”

“It was said that life was cheap in Ankh-Morpork. This was of course, completely wrong. Life was often very expensive; you could get death for free.”

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.
