"Gimme Hope Kamala" - Marsh Family
  • Not that I disagree with the points, but this sure feels cringey.

    Today I saw a group of Trump advocates waving flags and whatnot on a walkway over a highway and as I was about to share 1 of my 10 fingers with them I saw that they had kids there waving some of their Trump flags and paused. It feels uncomfortable seeing little kids engage in passionate advocacy for things they have no real experience with, and this video gives similar vibes.

  • Two or three cups of coffee a day is linked to a lower risk of heart and metabolic disease
  • I wonder about causation from a different angle. I only drink decaf and don’t do any caffeine specifically because I know I’m at a higher risk for heart disease and caffeine has triggered cardiac episodes for me before.

  • A space elevator on Ceres (with today's tech) and the gravitational assist of Jupiter for returning payloads back to Earth, could allow us to start mining the asteroid belt costing just $5 billion.
  • An interesting thought that makes me ask a few questions.

    How much of that dwarf planet would be in scope to return? I guess my completely ignorant suspicion is that it would be a small volume of highly valuable minerals, or minerals destined for space anyway.

    Also, what about the mass we are moving off world today? Have all of our satellites and rockets and other space bound craft resulted in any measurable change to earths place in the solar system? I would imagine some leave only temporarily, but how much mass do we permanently shed?

  • Strong Female Characters
  • Well my first recommendation was going to be Ancillary Justice, but there’s also Artemis by Andy Weir! It’s been a minute since I’ve read it but I don’t immediately recall it snacking of a “men writing women” feel.

    Edit: Not super SciFi, but like steampunk fantasy maybe… Another option might be Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

    Second Edit: Whatever you do DONT read Hyperion. Oof that one was one of the most ridiculous examples of “men writing women” I have read, although he notably grew as the series progressed.

  • Sovcit is in a mess.
  • It occurs to me that this FB group might be self pruning negative feedback for their approach…. Nobody in jail gets to go get on FB and say “hey so that did not work team”.
