Watched a classic #IronChef episode - Battle Tile Fish with Michiba on YouTube. Was a HUGE Iron Chef fan back in the day, was addicted to the show and everything that went with it. Such a fun blast from the past. 🇯🇵🔪🐟

@fraser I’ve been meaning to check if the last telemetry set had been released to see the failure in action.

The major papers are focusing on how Trump is cruising to the GOP nomination with his decisive win over Nikki Haley in her home state of South Carolina. But they ignore some flashing warning signs contained within the numbers. Let’s take a closer look. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/status-report-warning-signs-for-trump?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Status Report: Warning Signs for Trump

A quick check-in on the state of affairs on the other side of the campaign aisle. For some time now, it’s been down to two people, Trump and Haley, and yesterday the GOP primary contest was in Haley’s home state of South Carolina. Newsflash: Trump won. By a lot.

In 2016 Trump invited Russia to hack his opponent’s emails. In 2024, he invited Russia to do “whatever they hell they want" in Europe. Trump is a dangerous stooge for Putin. He shouldn’t be let anywhere near the Oval Office again.

Is there anything the show can't predict? https://www.comicsands.com/simpsons-prediction-las-vegas-sphere-2667210968.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram
'Simpsons' Fans Think The Show Predicted The Man Climbing Up The Las Vegas Sphere

Uncanny!

Parents, don't let your kids grow up to write astromomy headlines for the NY Post/Fox News

Enrique Tarrio during his sentencing hearing:

"This trial has humbled me"
“What happened on January 6th was a national embarrassment."
"When I get back home, I want nothing to do with groups, activism, politics."

and, most notably:

"When I walk out that door your honor, I won't be saying anything other than that" -- presumably a reference to Pezzola who made similar statements during sentencing, then yelled "Trump won" outside the courtroom

So much performative remorse...

Tarrio today:

@mcnees A friend of mine wrote a (many award winning) children's picture book on Katherine Johnson with her involvement.
Highly recommended.

@mcnees Then again, I once read an estimate that, given what (we think) we know about the presence of dust in the interstellar medium, the Voyagers would be substantially destroyed through dust ablation in something like 1 billion years (roughly 4 galactic rotations).
