So many women go in the wrong order: They go through guys, looking for a spark, then wonder, “Where’d all the good men go?” Most either gave up or were always chasing 18-25 🍑.

@Melissa85038517 @PapiTrumpo @xX69CHRONOS69Xx They’re more likely to be in your friendzone. Most women go look for an 🍆 before a friend, then wonder why they dash. They aren’t taught that too many men just want to get laid, & will say/do anything to get in pants. Find great conversation, agree on kids/life, then go physical

Would the @USSpaceForce have a problem with rolling a Phase 3 Lane 1 mission with @GoToImpulse into a combination military/civilian rideshare mission for other customers? One would think @northropgrumman (MEP pods) and @Astranis (MicroGEO) would be interested in coming along.

[Northrop Grumman @NGCNews]

A new era in servicing spacecraft starts today! Our Mission Robotic Vehicle and Mission Extension Pod spacecraft have launched, enhancing the resilience of our nation’s assets in space. Thank you to our mission partners @DARPA, @USNRL and @NASA who helped us achieve this milestone. Learn more: https://t.co/DUwd7W9H0p

@SpaceX Why put people on console with the general, previously-predicted cloud coverage?

@TruthQuest1122 Which of those “new jobs” will be capable of being done by robots? Anything that can be automated, will be.

[Michael Ball @EMichaelBall]

@mparrishpt @Z16e31 You answered your own question.

Furthermore, who says the capitalist system will want to dismantle itself in other markets and products?

[Michael Ball @EMichaelBall]

@TruthQuest1122 It won’t just be the blue-haired people who are left behind. AI + robotics will be superior labor to people. Anything that can be done faster, better, and cheaper by a robot will be. The entire concept of “work for your wages” will largely disappear. What will this do to society?

This article discusses a topic that I’ve been thinking of for a while: Companies like @AstroForge who take SpaceX’s promises of lower launch costs seriously are in deep risk of failure when the rug is pulled, and it appears it already is being pulled. Maybe it will cost *SpaceX* less to launch on Starship, but any ramp-up will be dedicated to Starlink and one miiiiiiiilllion AI satellites, and without moving the header tanks to make room for an upper payload chamber and door co-flying with internal satellites, beneath, something they don’t need to do, what would they benefit in working towards supporting non-flat-packed satellites, or supplying flights to outside customers?

Besides, I doubt that SpaceX will ramp Starship as quickly as they’ve promised, for multiple reasons, including time spent in environmental review and building launch mounts and surrounding infrastructure, alongside political factors related to noise and water availability. SpaceX may need to dedicate all Starship flights to meet FCC deadlines for AI satellite deployment. Elon cannot rely on future Presidential administrations for extensions.

If I were AstroForge, I would look to launch providers that don’t have internal launch sinks. Stoke comes to mind. Either way, I would not expect launch costs to drop anytime, soon. https://t.co/enf8F9IrAI

Concept to create a Starship with a “dual payload bay”. This would have a bottom layer with a traditional Pez dispenser, and a top layer with a Falcon-sized payload compartment opened by an end swing door for ship reusability purposes. This upper bay would usually hold a @GoToImpulse Helios transfer vehicle with various payloads that can’t fit in the Pez dispenser. (Helios can ride on 33° @Starlink missions for GTO/GEO missions.) Co-staging missions can accelerate Falcon retirement.

As an aside, such a vehicle can be retrofitted to have only a @NASAArtemis III Starship docking port on the upper layer, and be flown as part of a typical Starlink mission (then left in space for Artemis docking). @SpaceX

All of these reactions (“His economy is crap!” “Impeach!” “25th Amendment now!”) are misdirections, if not gaslighting. Even if #Trump is mad, are the documents inaccurate or manufactured? Why don’t any of them claim that? Simple: They know they’re real. https://t.co/yNTCgYL5HE

[Michael Ball @EMichaelBall]

As I recall, the initial batch of @relativityspace Terran R first stages are designed for one booster landing. But could they safely be flown, again to expend? If I were @SES_Satellites or another company, I’d love to use such a stage for a higher energy GTO at the same price.

@RideOnMCT Check inventory of USB chargers across your fleet. Yesterday, I spotted multiple, likely non-functional chargers on both 4164E and 4167E. I didn’t have a USB cable to confirm. Some chargers appeared working on at least the former bus.

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.

A German soccer fan is brought to tears over how nice he’s been treated in America

He says he was afraid to come to America for the FIFA World Cup because European media portrays America as dangerous. He’s spent weeks in America and can’t believe how it’s the exact opposite

“I fall in love with this country, and this was so emotional. I even cried in the stadium”

“Following the German soccer team from Houston to Boston. Sebastian was afraid of coming over, saying that the news in Europe painted a picture of America being dangerous. But at every stop, from the moment he landed, he says everyone has treated him with kindness and respect and has not felt unsafe.”

“Americans are not rude. Germans are not rude. If we are together, we can achieve great things”

The media is the enemy of the people and it seems to be true everywhere

I looked into data and found the real problem

90%+ of the mainstream media in America is Left leaning

And in Europe, over 80%+ of their mainstream media is Left leaning

That’s the problem right there. Liberals are destroying societies with their control of the media

Dr. Michael Nehls on Tucker Carlson: The mRNA spike protein shuts down new brain cell growth in the hippocampus — leading to depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s.

NEHLS: “The spike protein produced by the mRNA that is injected… is doing just the opposite. The spike protein activates neuroinflammation in the brain… they shut down the hippocampus, they shut down the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus.”

“If it’s chronic… the consequences are depression, anxiety, and in the long run is Alzheimer’s.”

“So they actually identified after the mRNA injections after a few months that the Alzheimer rate went up in a study published in South Korea… And I predicted this already in my book, the Indoctrinated Brain.”

“Being human in my opinion means that you are able to produce these cells… if you shut down the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus people lose essentially the ability to be human. They lose themselves. And the ultimate losing of oneself is having Alzheimer’s.”

HUNDREDS of studies show ivermectin exerts over 12 distinct anti-cancer mechanisms across more than 12 cancer types.

That's why COMPLETE REMISSIONS of Stage IV cancers using anti-parasitics are now being published in the peer-reviewed literature.

It's also SAFER than Tylenol.

[Mark Kaplan @markkaplan20]

63 million years ago, our primate ancestors lost the ability to make vitamin C.

A single gene called GULO mutated and stopped working. That gene codes for the enzyme L-gulonolactone oxidase. The enzyme that catalyzes the final step of vitamin C production from glucose.

Every other mammal still has a working copy. Dogs make vitamin C. Cats make it. Rats make it. Goats make it.

Goats produce roughly 13,000 mg of vitamin C per day. Under stress they produce even more.

The US government says you need 90 mg.

Humans, guinea pigs, fruit bats, and some primates are the only mammals on earth that cannot manufacture their own vitamin C. We depend entirely on what we eat.

Here is the part that should terrify every cardiologist.

Animals that make their own vitamin C do not get atherosclerosis. Ever.

Humans and guinea pigs do.

To those in the future that think Americans never fought back against uncontrolled immigration and who think we have never pushed back before,

In 1919 America had enough.

The globalists do not teach this lesson about our history...

After World War I the country was flooded with millions of immigrants in a very short time. Many refused to assimilate. Labor strikes paralyzed cities. Bombs were mailed to politicians and businessmen. Radical anarchists and communists openly called for the overthrow of the United States. Crime and unrest exploded in major cities.

The American people reached their limit.

What followed was called the Red Summer and the Palmer Raids. The government rounded up thousands of radicals, many of them recent immigrants. Ships were loaded and they were sent back to Europe. In some cases even American-born children of immigrants were deported with their parents if the family was deeply involved in revolutionary activity.

Then came the Immigration Act of 1924. It slammed the door shut. National origins quotas were put in place. Immigration from certain countries was cut by over 90%. The message was clear: America was for Americans first. We needed time to assimilate the people already here and restore order.

That policy worked. Immigration dropped dramatically. Wages for American workers rose. Assimilation improved. The country stabilized and the greatest middle class in history was built in the decades that followed.

We are at a similar moment today.

Once again our borders have been wide open. Once again our cities are strained. Once again American workers are pushed aside. Once again many newcomers show little interest in becoming American.

The lesson from 1919 is simple: when Americans decide they have had enough, they will act. They will vote. They will demand enforcement. They will change the laws. And yes, they will put their own people first.

We are not the first generation to feel this way.

We are simply the latest one that is finally willing to do what is necessary to take our country back.

Has the time has come again.

Plausibly cynical

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Watch the pattern. It only ever runs one way.

When butter was demonised, Unilever was ready with margarine.

When lard and tallow were demonised, Procter and Gamble was ready with Crisco.

When eggs were demonised, Kellogg's was ready with a bowl of cereal.

When red meat was demonised, Cargill was ready with soy.

When breastfeeding was demonised as backward, Nestlé was ready with formula.

When leather was demonised, BASF was ready with plastic cut to look like hide.

When wool was demonised, ExxonMobil was ready with the feedstock for polyester.

When animal fat itself was demonised, seed oil climbed from industrial waste to the most used cooking fat on earth.

Every one of them was a food or a fibre humans had thrived on for thousands of years, condemned at the exact moment a cheaper factory copy was sitting ready on the shelf.

The product came first. The science came trotting along behind it, right on cue, the instant there was a substitute to sell.

Follow the money. The advice starts to make a great deal more sense.
