They’ve indiscriminately fired 10% of NASA employees.

I don’t need to remind you that NASA’s budget is less than 1% of the entire federal budget but I will. Here’s what that looks like, it’s pennies. www.popsci.com/real-cost-na...

There is a global climate catastrophe underway, multiple genocides happening, a housing and unhoused people crisis, a child poverty crisis, people are struggling to afford food and what are moderate Democrats and GOP concerned about?

I recently did a stand up comedy set about the random and terrible theories engineers email to astronomers worldwide. I suspect we'll all be hearing a bunch of wacky nonsense from Muskerton on a regular basis imminently.
