In season 2 of #StarTrekTOS, there were only 4 episodes in which no food or drink (not even coffee) were seen. May your 2026 never be devoid of new exotic (colourful cubes!) or comfort food to enjoy. Happy new year to everyone! :-)

Supposedly some of the materials may be “disposed of” in 60 days. Spox says it will be by “established method”.

Who knows where the NASA surplus office is? Is there one at Goddard? Because there are LOTS of scientists with basements and garages in easy driving distance of Greenbelt. We can do this.

Many children will end up dying via suicide because the New York Times and Atlantic wanted to burnish their reputation as "unbiased" by supporting the far-right on Trans issues.
The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.
"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

.@pabloreports.bsky.social : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

I want to believe that Vance can be excommunicated
NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.
