What’s better than a Seattle Mariners game in August? A Mariners game with amazing teammates wearing kickass Interlune tees! ⚾ 👕

We’re going to the Moon, and having fun while doing so! 😜

Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis.

@superalbs.bsky.social glad to see you on this platform now! I’ve admittedly been sad to not see recent YouTube uploads. Do you plan to get back to posting videos regularly?

This is disgusting and disgraceful. Loyalty to a political entity has no place in our public scientific institutions.
This is being circulated at #NASA regarding new performance evaluations to be done 4x a year. Note: "Faithful Support of Administration of the Law and the President's Policies" are Number 1 criteria for both SES & SL/ST NASA personnel.

There’s actually a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell called “North and South” that was adapted for screen in a miniseries that covers this. While it takes place in a fictional town in northern England, she based it on the struggles in Manchester during the Industrial Revolution. Definitely worth a watch!

The irony of the Trump administration revoking security clearances for several people from previous administrations while having classified conversations on Signal AND inviting people without a clearance into the chat.

All I want is for @bsky.app to scroll to last read. Is that too much to ask?

If you’ve been itching for content related to both rockets and beer kegs, check out my friends @kegrocket.bsky.social who are literally building a rocket using beer kegs. It is no doubt on the list of my most anticipated first launches right New Glenn.

Multiple fires in very dry eastern WA where I’m spending a few days visiting family…and everyone is out trying to light the joint on fire with fireworks. I really don’t understand why they are sold to people anymore.

@dholms.xyz my “Following” feed is empty suddenly today. Noticed yesterday that only the last couple days showed up. Is this expected?

Damn. That Vision Pro… like a dagger in the heart of Meta’s Reality Labs. The design looks so good.

Congrats to the many SpaceX engineers who toiled on Starship to get to today. Failing fast is SpaceX’s MO and the data from today will be incredibly valuable.
So what was that? Was Starship’s launch a failure or a success?
SpaceX's development process is messier, but it's also much faster.

I’m struggling to find a replacement for my news feed that was Twitter. I followed NPR and a small group of space news reporters to create a feed which delivered news content I was interested in. Throw in a few close friends and it was a great experience until it wasn’t.
