This was such a fun photo to set up, taken by Thomas Reiter through a sleep station window on Mir. The sun was so bright we were all squinting like crazy. But I love how it shows the texture of the Shuttle's rough, protective hide, and the glimpse of humanity (and my moustache) against the universe.

relatedly, ralph nader deserves to be remembered for the rest of time as someone who voluntarily assisted in a critical attack on american democracy, the importance of which far outweighs any of his consumer advocacy
bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

I did not know this.
The US nuclear triad was not created intentionally. The term originated only in the 1970s as a post-hoc justification for an accidental artifact of the arms race, born of Air Force-Navy rivalry, unsynchronized war plans, secrecy, arbitrary decisions, contractor competition, and pork-barrel politics.

This is is indeed incredible. Traces Epstein all the way back to WWII!
⚡️Incredible dossier by French Sovietologist/historian Françoise Thom, exploring the 🇷🇺Soviet/Russian angle of late financier Jeffrey Epstein‘s sordid activities and connections to late mogul Robert Maxwell in detail. This looks far greater than mere „kompromat“ gathering... A long read, but worth it.

Pause and contemplate that this is an accurate assessment of the situation

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed
