This is why we cancel our Amazon subscriptions and take this fight straight to Congress, the Senate, and the highest levels of accountability.
The time for negotiation is over. They have made their choice; now, they must lie in the bed they’ve made.
We are done with toxic corporate behavior. We are moving toward greener pastures and stronger foundations for our future, with our collective well-being as our only metric.
Let our choices guide us like a compass steering a ship through the stars to find our way home, where our families wait with open arms.
The bottom line is that we build the future, for better or worse.
When the people of the world unite, corporate conglomerates lose their grip, proving how powerless they truly are against our endless strength. This is the dawn of a great new era.
Think of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, when the living trees realized their power and broke the dam at Isengard, unleashing the river to wash away the shadow.
We can do the same peacefully, but on a financial scale so monumental they cannot recover. Look closely at Amazon Web Services (AWS)—if they lose that foundation, their entire business crumbles. With the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe already challenging Amazon as a monopoly, the avalanche is nearly here. All we have to do is stand together. Let us show them precisely who we are.
Innovation drives what we do at @NASA, and along the way, we discover and develop technologies that can improve everyday life here on Earth. From memory foam mattresses to cordless power tools, @NASA_Technology is all around you.

Watching this old Stargate panel from San Diego Comic-Con… that energy. 💫
It’s wild to think we came so close to experiencing this again this weekend.
Then @AmazonMGMStudio pulled the plug and ruined it. Thanks, @freepeter@blairfetter 🙃

Krondon says he cried when he landed a role in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" because "I know how much this means to the people who love the comic books."
I read a post from @BaronDestructo as to the future of SF and it made me think Why #SaveStargate matters
Saving Stargate isn’t just about bringing back another TV show. It’s about preserving a style of science fiction that inspired generations.
Stargate showed us that sci-fi could be intelligent without being inaccessible, exciting without relying on endless darkness, and emotional because of the people—not just the spectacle. It made us believe that exploration, curiosity and hope still had a place in the future.
Alongside shows like Firefly, Farscape, Dark Matter and Quantum Leap, it proved that great science fiction isn’t defined by visual effects—it’s defined by its characters and the ideas it explores.
Firefly reminded us that family isn’t always defined by blood. Farscape embraced imagination without limits and wasn’t afraid to be different. Dark Matter explored whether our past defines who we become or whether we can choose a better future. Quantum Leap showed that changing one person’s life can change the world, and that empathy, compassion and hope are powerful forces.
Today’s audiences don’t need more bleak futures. They need stories that remind us why we fell in love with science fiction in the first place: the excitement of stepping into the unknown, asking “what if?”, and believing that humanity can be better than it is today.
That’s why #SaveStargate matters. It’s not just about nostalgia. It’s about ensuring future generations experience the same sense of wonder, optimism and adventure that made so many of us fall in love with science fiction in the first place.
The Class of 2030 received an introduction to the history, legacy, and values of the United States Marine Corps.
As approximately one-quarter of each graduating class commissions into the Marine Corps, understanding its proud traditions is important.🪖
No reboot. No remake. We want the continuation of the story we know, with the characters we love. SG-1, Atlantis, Universe. That's it. @AmazonMgmStudio@Primevideo#SaveStargate
@Rainmaker1973 If remember correctly these idiots s said that cow's farts are a danger to the earth...the fuck? But data centers are the worst but goddamn cows and ac units are the devil. Lol I want off the timeline!
@Rainmaker1973 This is why I'm happy to be in Texas we do what we want our AC crazy states can do what they want. I will never go to them. And good riddance.
@Rainmaker1973 Well, here's one thing:
People trying to sell houses/buildings with now "non-compliant" systems will no doubt take a beating, even though, just yesterday, they were fully compliant.
And, right now, that's probably most buildings.
A growing number of states are adopting stricter standards for air conditioning systems. California and New York are at the forefront of this movement, with additional states implementing comparable measures.
These regulations do not prohibit the use of air conditioners. Instead, they focus on the refrigerants employed in many modern cooling units.
California enforces some of the most rigorous requirements in the country, mandating that many new air conditioners and heat pumps utilize refrigerants with significantly reduced environmental impact. New York has introduced similar standards for hydrofluorocarbons and is exploring further measures concerning refrigerant handling and equipment recycling.
States such as Washington, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia have also enacted limits on high-global-warming-potential refrigerants or synchronized their policies with updated federal guidelines.
The primary objective is to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons, commonly known as HFCs. Although these substances do not harm the ozone layer, certain types can trap hundreds or thousands of times more heat than carbon dioxide when released into the atmosphere.
Advocates emphasize that the transition will lower greenhouse gas emissions and promote more energy-efficient cooling technologies. Opponents contend that the changes may raise the initial cost of new air conditioners, potentially straining budgets for renters, older adults, and low-income families amid more frequent and intense heat waves.
Current air conditioning units can typically remain in service and be repaired as needed. The new rules primarily apply to newly produced or installed systems, so most households will encounter the updates only upon replacing older equipment.
With extreme heat events increasing across the United States, officials confront a critical balance: how to develop cleaner cooling solutions without compromising affordability for those who need them most.
We are Stargate.
We are the fans who never stopped believing.
We are the people who found friendship in distant worlds, hope in impossible odds, and family in a story that taught us to look beyond the horizon.
We are explorers at heart.
We believe that courage is choosing hope when others have given up. That compassion is strength. That no one walks through the Gate alone.
It has been a place where strangers became family. Where people from every corner of the world discovered they shared the same sense of wonder.
That’s why we’re still here.
Because we believe there are still stories to tell, new worlds to discover, and new generations waiting to experience what changed our lives.
Every shared memory. Every act of kindness within this community reminds us what Stargate has always been about.
Us.
We are the heart of this universe.
We are its voice. We are its legacy.
And as long as we continue to stand together with hope, compassion, and belief…
@AmazonMGMStudio listen to us all , because We are Stargate.
