There is a live plot of Kosmos 482's calculated position up on TheLaunchPad.

Note, because we don't precisely know a) the atmosphere's shape/density, b) the spacecraft's profile, we can't precisely know the drag coefficient. Exactly where it is... that takes data. 🧵

The next Bourne movie is just gonna be two hours of Jason getting chased through a series of Arizona strip malls
Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

"Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways"
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”
They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.
And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Android WebView: it's like chromium except we broke a bunch of things so they either don't work, or don't work the way you'd expect.
100vh? surely you don't expect that to correspond to 100 percent of the viewport height.
