Hey look, a shocking headline that’s also BS. Are the satellites really falling at a record pace? Are scientists really raising the alarm? I explain it all in today’s Substack (free):
No, scientists aren't "raising alarms" about SpaceX satellites falling out of the sky
That's what they're supposed to do.

Late in life my working man father got interested in why Rome fell. He loved the USA. Got his GED. Fought in World War 2. Believed in immigration as part of the American dream. Voted in every election. Hated bullies. I wish I could've shared this article with him. It's a good one.

The American experiment will soon turn 250. Is its time running out?

I can't doodle worth a darn but I can cross stitch! I finished this earlier this year. Pattern from London's Natural History Museum: www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/cro...
Cross stitch of a Giant Squid. Squid is in shades of orange. The two longest tentacles are held up in a semicircle while the rest dangle below. There is some white detailing on the ends of the longest tentacles and top of the fins. Stitched on navy blue Aida fabric.

Faraos förbannelse
Legenden om ”Tutanchamons förbannelse” är en av de mest kända myterna inom arkeologi. De som vanhelgade den unge faraons grav genom att öppna den ska ha drabbats av en förbannelse som ledde till plötsliga eller oförklarliga dödsfall.
