Last evening after the burn to leave earth orbit and send the crew towards the moon (at the walking pace of close to 25,000 km/hr) the crew broadcast a short Q & A with earth. What really struck me was the clarity of the comm. Nothing like the crack and pop of the AM broadcasts during the Apollo programme. It was if the crew was broadcasting from the next room.

Speaking of dying inside, these days you wonder if it would be headline news if Trump accidentally stabs Melania during that dance during the middle part of the video when he's stabbing the sword behind him.

I use Gemini (aka TARS) on a 2nd vertical monitor at work. I mostly type in questions such as figuring out the best technical query or advice on how to integrate 2 systems. So it's mostly a powerful search engine with pretty good answers by default. I also use it to generate an image here and there, such as for a corporate blog I manage each week.

Allegedly it was because Bondi warned Eric Swalwell about the release of FBI investigation materials regarding his relationship with Christine Fang. Can't verify.

I remember leading up to the 2024 election there was some momentum behind a potential Carlson candidacy if Trump was going to be in prison. I could see it. Also, that first sentence...imagine saying that out loud 15 years ago during the Carlson bow-tie and Trump apprentice years.

[image: 1769429526740-1655d638-aa34-41fa-82d4-0af9ebe482f4-image.png] I'm glad we got lucky with the April 1st date. As I noted earlier, there were a few options that had a daytime launch, and what a spectacular launch that was. I know there's recency bias, but to my eyes and many who've seen plenty of launches, it was one of the most beautiful launches (visually) they've ever seen.

@LuFins-Dad said: You know the interesting thing about this? The husband of a Conservative politician, this guy is an embarrassment to his wife, family, and needs to be ridiculed, non-stop. But many of the same people ridiculing him celebrated Sam Brinton and condoned Aidan Maese-Czeropsk… Quite so. It also won't be the first time Ms. Noem's worked with a couple of enormous boobs seemingly incapable of effectively doing the job they were intended for.

I copy pasted Jon’s earlier post about Trump stating that Obama would invade Iran and added my own flavor to it on my social media. Reporter: how do you think President Trump is doing? Maga: he’s doing great! Reporter: how so? Maga: he’s doing everything he said Obama would do.
