He's probably an awful human being for all sorts of reasons. But God is it still a kick to the gut when someone implies that someone's a sick weirdo for cramming some balloons under their shirt.

Your trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming friends see your jokes about Kristi Noem's husband too. Boy howdy am I glad I didn't have a selfie cam back in my "it's just a fetish" days.

It's strange how one of the few news sources actually willing to give full throated criticism of Trump is Wired Magazine

The passive income movement was a fantasy about not having to give a shit. This is a terrible foundation for pretty much anything.

The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs

I had coffee last year with a guy - I won't use his real name - who told me he was "building a business." I asked what it did. Dropshipping jade face rollers. I made him say it twice. Jade face rollers. He'd found them on Alibaba for $1.20

Okay put another few hours into Kerbal Space Program and still haven't been able to figure out all the complexity of it. Guess I'll try again next year.

Plus, much as I'm sure it pisses Bezos and Elon off, fuck you, NASA can build a big fuck you rocket WITHOUT your companies too.

I'm looking forward to the day where a person who stood on the moon can be on a stage where I can listen to them talk. Maybe get a chance to shake their hand. See an Actual Human Who Went To The Moon.

I know the discourse about the rest of the context around NASA and the Artemis program - people will trot out the classic old "we should spend the money on the poor" or "we should just send robots" or "it's USA propaganda".

Fact is, crewed space flight is just Cool. I've heard more about Artemis than I have any specific space related thing since some of the first Mars rovers. And I think it's worth doing things like sending humans to space, or remote parts of the Earth, or the ocean, or whatever, even IF a drone could do it. Because humans like seeing humans doing things and being able to sit there and think "I/someone I love could be there doing that thing".
