SpaceX's highly paid lawyers responded to the hundreds of comments and oppositions submitted to the FCC in one letter, that basically shows they didn't actually read our petitions to deny. And now we astronomers and dark sky advocates who are volunteering our time have to do a shitload more work to respond to their non-response. By Friday.

Fuck you, SpaceX.

America is like an apartment complex. It's constantly being bought out by people you never heard of, the rules are always changing, no one can reach the management, and maintenance hasn't been seen in a while. But if you're late with rent, the cops will fuck you up and they'll make you homeless.

“One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.”

Existentialism can get you through a few depressing Sunday afternoons but if you're trans, it's like taking aspirin to deal with having your legs blown off.

As the situation grinds on, Trump and Republicans are beginning to blame Israel for the Iran war, and while I don't think it's fair to blame Israel for Americans wanting to launch a "Christian holy war" and being suckers -- Netanyahu has been pulling the same con for 30 years now -- I do hope it leads to an irreparable breach between both countries.

The man who did not care about the war in Ukraine because this was Europe's war, now wants Europe to join the war he started with Iran, while he is lifting sanctions on Russia, so Putin can scale up the Ukraine war.

Trump is not playing chess. He is just eating the pieces.

Welsh speaker here. It's completely untrue to say that the only times we speak Welsh in public are to annoy boorish English visitors. But it is true to say those are the *best* times.
