1/3 If I Must Die: poetry and prose - a MUST read.
"You don't want to hug them, so they don't feel this could be the last one, and you do want to hug them so at least there is a hug out there.
And you want, you know, to pat on their heads. It's very difficult being a father here."

I guess all I'm saying is that the movie hits different when you're identifying most strongly with Dr. Dillamond.

> How does the International #Space Station orbit #Earth without burning up? An aerospace engineering scholar explains: theconversation.com/how-does-t… #astronomy #ISS
Yet it WILL burn up, if NASA and Space-X have anything to say about the matter. Space-X has already been contracted to build the USDV deorbit vehicle, and Axiom has pushed forward by two years its plan to attach its first commercial module to the ISS: that's 2028. Three short years from now. The ISS doesn't even have five more years of existence.
NASA's criteria for discarding the ISS and letting it "burn up", as you put it, are ridiculously simple: the presence in orbit of both a USDV and a commercial space station (Axiom).
Once those exist, the ISS is toast, to be replaced by a PRIVATE FOR-PROFIT commercial entity. Near-Earth will be fully privatized, another step backward from Roddenberry's unrealized dream for humanity.
Pull the other one, Woolworths!

"The supermarket giant cites specialist providers, convenience stores and online retailers among its rivals, but many seem well out of its league."

A pkg installer from the PowerPC era still works on ARM-powered Macs. There's no way to run the executable itself (though I wonder if something can be done with extensive hacking on top of qemu-user), but the help is browsable.
It's kind of funny that there were "Scrapbook" and "Auction manager" as parts of the Internet Explorer, and only for Mac OS.
#WinterBright 🧵
📷 Today I begin a series of photos to celebrate winter #solstice and to lighten up the long nights in the Northern Hemisphere. These will focus on lighted glass sculptures, Chinese lanterns and light-themed photos from my travels.
❄️ I will use the unique hashtag #WinterBright for these posts. Anyone can join in. Interpret the hashtag as you will, as long as the photos are sun or light-related and fit the vibe.
✈️ The first pic marks Wright Brothers Day with a pic from the WB first flight memorial, here in NC.
(Will also mention my friend @vlrny and those at @lonelinesscorps for each post. ❤️)

Unbelievable after nearly 2000 bills filed since 2016 that there are still that many legislative targets left. I guess you're now a RINO unless you have your own performatively cruel anti-trans kids bill. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

"Even expressions of intimacy and love are very difficult, because they could be interpreted in too many different ways. And the kids know. They feel all the lies we tell them, that it's going to be okay, that the bombing is far away. They're not working."

😰The last two chapters are transcribed from Refaat Alareer's voice notes posthumously. It's devastating. He talks about kindness despite the inhumanity, helping his students even as his home is bombed, & kindness begetting kindness. They killed him. US indifference & money and Israel's barbarity. We killed him.
