This seems like a moment in time that won’t last. Cultural Enrichment is damn near certain to bring this practice to an end.

Say what you will about United Launch Alliance and the fact that it is far, FAR behind the times when compared with SpaceX, they’ve recently been issuing some damned impressive videos.
Found it! Ok, since you asked so nicely… here is a full duration @BlueOrigin #BE4 firing. #VulcanRocket #CountDownToVulcan. Enjoy… pic.twitter.com/HZB2z33ted

Gotta love a rocket that is so metal, it sets itself on fire before launching into space. Getting excited for #NROL91 #DeltaIVHeavy pic.twitter.com/9RIJV6LAK0

And they’re retweeting some good vids of their Delta IV launch:

Some great launch videos. Now, to release some equally impressive landing videos, demonstrating that ULA is in the business of recovering and reusing rockets to not only lower launch cost (and compete with SpaceX) but also to ramp up launch rates in order to save western civilization off-world, because it’s going to hell on *this* one.

Lots to contemplate here:
Lizzo Twerks on Stage with James Madison’s 1813 Crystal Flute
On top of everything else, the Library of Congress deemed it proper to hand over a priceless (and doubtless fragile) historic artifact to be used as a prop or a toy on stage by someone with demonstrated and clearly obvious impulse control issues.
“B****! I just twerked and played James Madison’s crystal flute from 1800’s!” she said, after handing the flute back to a representative from the Library of Congress.
Indeed.

When I was a kid, the British Army patrolled cities in Northern Ireland. Why are they not now patrolling the cities of England? They could be kept busy for *weeks* grabbing riotous foreigners and tossing them onto deportation flights.

The images coming in of the DART impact are absolutely remarkable.
Same video as before of ATLAS observing the DART impact, but tracked sidereally (with the stars). Each frame is about 40 seconds, and the entire sequence is about two hours. pic.twitter.com/p7Sgvfu2CK

… I’ll watch Chunk the Groundhog every time.
Better scripting, better dialog, more involving storylines, more appealing characters. And, I fully expect, far less risk of plague.
Bonus: Corn Cat.

A fitness class out for a jog goes by an outdoor cafe… and the people having their lunch think that the class are running *from * something, panic, and take off running with them. On one hand.. ha ha, very funny. On the other hand, this was in Brazil. I’ve seen the videos. The many, many, MANY videos. It’s not insane to keep your head on a swivel in Brazil, and be ready at the drop of a hat to bolt. That whole country seems like Chicago writ large.
En Brasil, afuera de un restaurante, pasó un grupo de personas haciendo CrossFit, pero los que comían pensaron que huían de algo y decidieron huir con ellos 😂 pic.twitter.com/c35svFP0KU

Homeless man arrested for vicious beating in NYC train station
How could this crime have been prevented? Were there any warning signs? Any possible hints of what was coming? Any chances to go ina different direction?
In 1995, Foster was arrested as a 14-year-old for killing his own 82-year-old grandmother in Flatbush, Brooklyn. He apparently got into a dispute about money and started punching her. She died on the couch shortly after the attack. …
In 2010, police arrested him for stabbing a 50-year-old woman at a psychiatric center in Queens Village. The woman was left permanently disfigured in the attack.
Foster was paroled last year for that incident.
New York City Police arrested him in August for Petty Larceny. The next day he was arrested again for criminal mischief.
Nope. Nothing at all that could have been done. There were no chances to have nipped this in the bud.

“IF” being the operative word. Assume this is as accurate as a random anonymous comment usually is.
…or Maybe the Trans Shop Teacher Is the Hero We Need Right Now
This dude is gaming the system. An anon here yesterday was in this dude’s class. This teacher was almost fired for ‘toxic masculinity’ last year, as well as not embracing woke culture. He’d drop redpills to his class, such as how silly gender neutral bathrooms are. The school board hates him.
He’s now upping the ante to exploit the very clown world the school and society itself created. His long game is most likely to get fired, and then sue for discrimination. There is no other explanation.. No better way to troll clown world than to become an over-the-top caricature of a woman.
Don’t trust this to be true. But if it is… suddenly this ridiculous story is elevated to hilarious troll. On the one hand, this is a long way to go to make a point. on the other hand, it’s a longer way to actually *be.*
