Hey y’all. I just joined from the other place. I’m a NASA engineer living in Florida. I grew up in KY, and I’m big University of Kentucky fan #BBN. I love posting about sports, movies/TV, current events, and random thoughts that pop into my head throughout the day. Hope this place keeps growing! 🦋
A QUARTER PERCENT
SANCHEZ: What's your message to folks who see your plans and think there are a lot of issues here on Earth that require funding?
NASA ADMINISTRATOR ISAACMAN: It doesn't work that way. NASA gets a quarter percent of the discretionary budget. That's a small price to pay for all that we may learn

I don’t know how it should be done, I’m not an economics person, but we have to figure out a way to pay certain jobs - teachers, nurses, air traffic controllers, etc. - a lot more, simply because those jobs are so critical for our society to function

I’m fascinated by every single interview and behind the scenes tidbit I’ve seen from Project Hail Mary. What a film.

Hope all the influencers and celebs that made videos criticizing Timothee Chalamet’s comments use the money they made off their engagement bait and go buy tickets to an opera or ballet 🫶🏻

Like how many movies have yall seen and how many ballets and operas have yall seen? …….Yeah
I think ppl are taking a very uncharitable view of Timothee Chalamet’s comments. He was saying ppl are not clamoring to go see opera and ballet in this day and age which is TRUE

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

I was curious who did the sound design for Stardew Valley because it’s so satisfying and I looked it up and learned that one (1) guy made that whole fucking game for funsies to try to learn C# I feel sick to my stomach

The total amount of money that has gone to NASA since its inception is $1.8 trillion, by the way.
You could double NASA’s 2026 budget, give that amount of money to NASA for the next 25 years, and you still wouldn’t match $1.5 trillion.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.

@hankgreen.bsky.social semantics question for you - Lake vs Pond. Sometimes I see a body of water that looks too big to be a pond but too small to be a lake. Is there a way to know for sure? Do other languages have more precise words for bodies of water or do we all struggle w this classification?
