The Artemis II mission is one of the few pieces of good news in this otherwise terrible year.

Not sure who made this, but genius.

Good article by Prof. Bruce Partridge on the cuts to funding for American science:

Opinion | These scientific advances were ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ Will they continue?

This is like a bad dream in slow motion.
A few years back, we would have all been freaking out over a 10% budget cut. Now we have a 50% budget cut so the rich can get a tax break AND we can go further into debt. This is going to make America much less great...

we've now regressed back to the era of waking up, checking the news, and seeing crazy shit all over

I'm trying to remember what coping mechanisms I developed 6 years ago

I think I need to listen to more ambient, rocksteady, and beach boys
