Update to a thread on having a champion for your script that I had on the other place…

“It only takes one yes.” Well, yes, but that’s not all it takes. I’ll tell my first foray into writing, below.

“Judith” by A Perfect Circle.

Howerdel had composed some of the riffs previously, but Maynard came in and wrote against it in one session and the band laid the track down in the same night

Therapist: Are your goals achievable?

Me: I want to win an Oscar. Not today. I want to win an Oscar like, back in the ‘90s.

Lanes make sense yes. But my gripe is, if there were some 405 in the sky that kept getting jammed, another 3 or 4 lanes could easily be created in the sky. Whereas on the ground it requires massive construction / leveling buildings / etc.

Monty Bennett @montrivell.bsky.social · Jul 11

That ONLY works if you hang testicles from the hitch. For some reason.

Monty Bennett @montrivell.bsky.social · Jul 11

So in THE FIFTH ELEMENT, THE JETSONS, BACK TO THE FUTURE II and others there is this phenomenon of the “skyway being jammed.” Help me out. There’s a lot of sky out there. Just fucking go around? I would kill to commute in the sky.

the American government is effectively ending its space program.

Over 2,000 senior staff set to leave NASA under agency push

The losses could endanger the administration’s plans for landing astronauts on the moon and Mars.

Did a military parade write this?

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · Jun 15

Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades. wapo.st/4dYFOck
