Found this in a Toledo garage recently and it has clearly never been listened to before.At least for the next couple of months, I get to keep working on a couple cancelled NASA missions and dream of a day when science and exploration aren't seen as political pawns but as objects of national pride.

Nederland to buy Eldora Mountain Resort with support of ski industry heavy hitters
The purchase of Eldora will be funded by bonds to be paid off using lift-ticket and other on-mountain revenue rather than Nederland taxes

Interesting that the single most expensive new procurement item for the State department is $400 million of 'Armored Teslas'. That's one way to make up for #tesla sales cratering around the world! No surprise coming from #presidentmusk

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Here we go! Third Nederland Board of Trustees meeting of the year! Lots of information, particularly about the Comprehensive Plan and how the current National madness is affecting Nederland (and other small towns.)

At what point do we declare a #generalstrike and shut down every city in the country until #presidentmusk is stripped of his control? Do we simply keep burying our heads in the sand and pretend this is in anyway normal?

Zornio: Trump’s war on science is back. This time, it’s worse.
Multiple federal agencies have already been hit with gag orders, bans, safety repeals and more. The war on science is a recipe for disaster.

I've now heard of several #nasa missions working to scrub any mention of Diversity or Inclusion from documentation in light of recent executive orders. But given the nature of those orders and how projects are managed, isn't that obeying in advance?

Hey @govofco.bsky.social I think you have some orange makeup on your face. How much further you going to go to suck up to the wanna-be-dictator? Disrespecting #JimmyCarter because you want to be counted amongst the #oligarchs? Disappointing to call you Governor. #copolitics

My favorite 5 books read in 2024, in no order. House of Leaves (Danielewski), Patriot (Navalny), Challenger (Higginbotham), The Lovers (Cognetti), The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven (Miller).
Looking forward to even more great reads in 2025.

It's always an interesting time at work when we're trying to plan for the coming month of development on a #NASA mission and the #muskshutdown comes up as a reason why nothing is going to get done.

Nederland Town Board meeting comments for December 3, 2024. Initial thoughts as we start is that, once again, only 1 member of the public is here in person. Two additional locals logged in online. Need more involvement at the local level! #nederland #coloradopolitics
