ME: I think that went great for a first introduction. Man, parents always love me! I don't know why I get so panicky every time!

PARTNER: Were you not scanning the faces around the table when you called Bill Nye the Science Guy “hideously pornographic”

Frowning and shaking my head while looking at Hasan's bulge so the other Republicans at the RNC know I don't approve

In high school I'd do this with my friends but in reverse. We'd order pizza for delivery and brainstorm silly characters we could play. My favorite was "posh rich person" because all I did to sell it was wear a blazer over my regular outfit and talk like Mrs. Doubtfire
There is a very small percentage of fast food workers that fully embrace using the job to do improv and even though it’s a very small percentage you will inevitably encounter at least one and he will be known as “remember that Arby’s guy?” to you and the ones you love

Chat you know what's more embarrassing than misspelling a recipient's name in an email? Apologizing and then immediately doing it again a few days later.

It's nice to wake up to good news for once

Absolutely no respect for me trying to work. What a monster.

This getting approved is both genuinely insane and also completely expected. So much danger to our sky and even people from this stupid idea.

Who could have seen this one coming? You really think you know a guy (who had a Nazi tattoo, lied about it, and had a history of abuse towards women).

The Administration's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a proposed rule that would politicize federal science grantmaking, replacing scientific rigor with ideological gatekeeping.

I was just contacted by a reporter asking for comment about the whole Pluto planet thing.

Hanging on by a thread over here.

The only reason any NASA administrator would waste their time with this is because it gives the less science savvy a headline that distracts from his complicity in the destruction of NASA. Like, I don't even have the words to explain how little sense this makes and how much it isn't his job.
Isaacman: very much in the camp of making Pluto a planet again. Working on some papers right now to escalate through the scientific community to revisit this.

And that's it.

Newly-discovered asteroid 2026 HZ4 approached closer than our geostationary satellites 2 days ago. It is 2-7 meters wide. 🔭

Love that this is what we get after all the hemming and hawing about how Isaacman knew the field and was totally going to be good for NASA
Isaacman says he's interested in a prize competition of some kind to support development of asteroid mining technologies.

If Jared Isaacman doesn't shut up I'm going to whisper really mean things about him from across the room to make him cry.

DART was such a cool mission to follow and I love that we're still learning things well after the initial impact.
Today's Bad Astronomy Newsletter covers a bunch of news from NASA's DART mission, which whacked an asteroid back in 2022. Very cool stuff including streaks on the asteroid moon's surface, the plume generated, and how the orbit of the binary pair changed!

Way too much DART news
The NASA spacecraft hit the moon Dimorphos, but that yanked the whole system hard enough to measure. Also, the plume was modeled in 3D, and the bigger asteroid is spitting rocks at its moon. So yeah, ...

There is no hell hot enough for ICE
Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

I feel like we should make the ghouls who vote heinously because they aren't running for re-election face some kind of social consequence. Like they should never know a moment of peace for their complicity in this.

I ended up missing this over the holidays but that stupid "American Superiority in Space" executive order that got made on December 18th, just like their attempt to kill TraCCS a few months ago, is going to throw the space sector into chaos.

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis.

Disappointed but unfortunately not surprised that this big eared bastard is doing what bastards tend to do. Isaacman is unfit to lead NASA
As expected, Isaacman is an admin stooge:

‘This was not part of some “long-planned facilities consolidation” as Isaacman claims. The Goddard Master Plan, written in 2022, does not call for the library’s closure. Building 21, which houses the library, was scheduled for renovation, not elimination.’
