😃: I got to go on CBC TV last night via Zoom to talk about Artemis II

😭: The Zoom connection was SO BAD the segment is basically unwatchable.

(I had no idea it was bad at the time and no one said anything during the setup! Not sure how to prevent this in the future but ugh.)

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

I have made so many resources for allies to learn how to champion families, and why that’s important. Here's a new one, chock full of fundraising ideas and examples.

We are failing. We need to do better.

The whole-Earth-at-night photo from the #Artemis II mission was brighter than many expected. That was mostly due to camera settings; here’s another pic taken just before with diff settings. Digital photography is always subjective—even before processing! (HT @swapnakrishna.com @jasonc0.bsky.social)

Police break 17 year old kid's leg—requiring emergency surgery.

Beat him repeatedly with baton while he was already detained by 3 other officers.

"Grab his ass," witnesses heard him yell—before running over and winding up with batons.

Kid was protesting ICE on 'No Kings Day' in Los Angeles, CA.

I'm really proud of myself and how I'm organizing everything. I was struggling with ADHD. But once I made a tiny bit of progress on my research that made my confidence go up.

Other great things are happening, so I'm doing my best to get everything in order.

The amount of skepticism I have for this spacecraft is colossal.

There's no mention of SR1 anywhere on NASA's site. Some news of advances in nuclear propulsion are on the site but nothing indicating they're ready to build such a rocket. Having one built and ready to go in less than 2 years? Huh.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com.

Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

My PhD advisor, Professor Yuk Yung, has passed away.

The suddenness of this - I had only become aware of his illness a week ago - is shocking and it’s surreal that he’s gone.

Burger King ran multiple 'nostalgia' ads during the Oscars, which probably cost a couple million bucks.

In-N-Out just got the best ad ever—an Oscar-winning Michael B. Jordan eating and posing at its restaurant—for free.

The only stake I have in tonight's Oscars rests on Delroy Lindo.

He has a career of excellent work.

I'd like to see him rewarded.
