What gives, @netflix ? I’m deployed abroad so I have to have my wife send me a passcode every 14 days to use a service I’m paying for because I’m not connected to my home wifi? I should be able to log into my account with my username and password regardless of where I am.

On this day in 1969, the Apollo 11 mission launched, and three intrepid astronauts headed to the Moon, becoming the first men to ever land on it

They, and the program that got them there, are one of the great moments in American history and clearest demonstrations of excellence

Even the ground equipment used just to get the Saturn V rocket in a position to launch was unimaginable. As Charles Murray records in his excellent book Apollo:

"The logic that Petrone and the other planners had to bring to their job had an Alice in Wonderland quality to it. They were required to believe any number of seemingly impossible things every day. If they wanted a vehicle big enough to send a spacecraft to the moon, then it had to be the size of the Saturn. If they wanted a vehicle the size of the Saturn, then they had to have a building with the size and capabilities of the V.A.B. And if they wanted to use a mobile launch capability for this vehicle, then there was the one remaining problem that had been on everyone's mind from the beginning. It was elementary, as Petrone pointed out: You gotta move the bird." More specifically, the system required that they take a vehicle the size of a navy destroyer, stand it on end, transport it three and a half miles, then set the whole stack on the launch pad."

One of the great moments in our history, a spirit that must return

Someone forgot to tell @sneako that the Great Replacement is a debunked conspiracy theory.

Hey @OSHA_DOL is forcing city employees to work at 78 degrees F indoors acceptable?

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.

Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.

Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.

A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

Everyone seems to think Trump v. Barbara will uphold birthright citizenship tomorrow, whether they want it to or not. I’m not sure why the Court would wait this late in their term to maintain the status quo. Could be wrong, though.

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

Nothing about that building is new, challenging, or innovative. It’s plagiarized from dystopian sci-fi films. Relevant to the zeitgeist? Absolutely.

Trillionaires shouldn't exist and neither should billioniares. Tax every penny in net worth over $999 million at 100%. We can have extreme wealth concentration or a democracy but we can't have both at the same time. Pick one.

If food consumption was proportional to wealth, there’d be no fat poor people.
