@wdlindsy To complete silence from the administration that swore they had our backs. Not a single statement of refutation as states strip Trans people of rights. Biden is better than tRump, but in this, the administration is a failure.

@jimstewartson A truly sad thing about all this is that it's now almost impossible to talk about a positive future in space without being lumped in with these fascists.
It is possible to have a long-term vision of the future for humanity while working to make all phases good for all humanity.

It's just being drowned out by Longtermists and Space Libertarians.

@jimstewartson I can't 100% agree with keeping astronomy and politics separate because the Space Libertarians like Musk and Zubrin surely aren't. But, it's definitely reached the point where Neil never fails to disappoint.

Actually, the tax returns of all Supreme Court justices should absolutely be made public. That should be a requirement to be one of the nine people with lifetime appointments who make final legal decisions for the rest of the country.

The #Biden administration really hasn't done anything about increasing hate and vitriol towards the #LGBTQIA, especially towards #trans people. Of course, Biden and Harris are better than any of the tRump people, but let's not forget their actual history towards us. Any pretense of support is just that, a pretense.

@JeremyLittau Only a matter of time until your blog, your Substack, your Gofundme, any other thing but Twitter is added to the list.

China has removed its Zero-COVID policy. Crematoria and funeral homes are already being overwhelmed.

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

When you mix #renewableenergy with thermal storage, it kind of negates "the sun doesn't always shine" argument.

Condensed solar for example, continues producing power for hours after sunset. Add a large thermal storage capacity and it can run all night.
