These characters have some serious late 1980s outfits. Look at those pants with pleats and members only jackets.

Even the pajamas and robes look good, they all match. Is that a type A/ senior government official thing?
I wonder what the menswear guy would say about the suits in this movie? #hatm

So in the book, the FBI admin does not die, if I remember correctly.

These offices are too tastefully appointed ( not enough gold) and the suits are too well fitted and no dress sneakers. Certainly not the 2020s. #hatm

The rescue food mission hasn’t aged well considering turn around time for rocket launches #hatm.

The duct tape thing is actually unsurprising, since both the aviation and space communities have special (and expensive) duct tape they use all the time.

I wonder if Elon would go and save a stranded astronaut or would he just sacrifice him? Hmm. #hatm

I’m always disappointed how the actual Mission Control is not nearly as futuristic as the movies. The one is not that nice. It does have the big screens in front. #hatm

I’m not a historian but enjoy following along at hatm and have followed/ read quite a bit on the space program
1) Lost Moon ( James Lovell was co- author and met him once. ) Rocket Men, and A New Ocean
2)Ribollita but added some chicken for extra protein.

@lakesuperior.bsky.social , you’re showing everyone up last night. Beautiful picture and sunset.
I love this photo from Copper Harbor, MI. I read to the Tom, Scrappy and Baby from local writer Steve Hamilton’s A Cold Day in Paradise while we waited for the sun to set. #StunDay #ColorADay #OrangeSun #EastCoastKin #Sunset

@lakemichigan13.bsky.social you are looking especially beautiful this morning.
Here's your fog infused Sunday Yooper sunrise from the northwest corner of Lake Michigan. #906Life #PureMichigan

With the bad job # this week + talk of stagflation, I looked at Fed Fund rates back in the 1900s. The rate was at 4.13% in 1967 and didn’t get below that until 1992, with 2 big spikes ( once 18% in early 1980s). Doesn’t bode well going forward.

They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning,
We will remember Them. 🙏

ICE gets more money than the Marines in the “Big Beautiful Bill”.

Which war are they fighting?

You do the math.

The camps aren’t just for “illegals” and their wars aren’t all abroad.

You and I are on the menu.

Time to wake up.

Just learned that in 1944, the @uaw.org fought book banning in Detroit, when the city banned the novel Strange Fruit for portraying an interracial romance. The UAW and the Detroit Public Library teamed up to overturn the ban.

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
