SpaceX has just officially announced Starbase, Louisiana, a new $100+ billion spaceport in South Louisiana near Pecan Island.
Construction starts in 2027, with the first Starship launch from the new site planned for 2029.
Starbase, Louisiana will be built to support thousands of Starship flights a year. This self-sustaining spaceport will have propellant production, power generation, deep-water shipping capabilities, vehicle processing facilities, and an airport.
SpaceX is committed to investing at least $100 billion and creating more than 3,000 new jobs at Starbase, Louisana hiring heavily from nearby communities and utilizing Louisiana workers’ extensive experience of building complex infrastructure in their unique environment.
In Vermilion Parish, the shoreline is eroding between 3.3 and 23 feet per year. SpaceX is partnering with state and federal agencies to expand Louisiana’s Coastal Master Plan and Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act projects, including Gulf shoreline protection breakwaters designed to reduce wave energy and slow loss along the Gulf edge.
@MattWalshBlog 38 year old Catholic, conservative, business owner. Have everything I could hope and dream of except a God fearing, loving wife. The dating apps are brutal. I’ve had close a call where I almost married someone that’s probably in the Lindsay fan club. Thank God I didn’t settle.
Black activists rallying around Karmelo Anthony. Leftists celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. Women forming fan clubs for Lindsay Clancy. The last 12 months have been the darkest I can remember. Something has been revealed about our society. These people have showed us who they really are, and we can never unsee it. “Radicalized” doesn’t really even begin to describe the effect all of this has had on some of us.
The tattoo thing is completely out of control. A majority of women between the ages of 18 and 49 now have tattoos. I have tattoos and I'm here to tell you it isn't worth it. I don't hate my tattoos or necessarily regret them. I feel fine about them. But feeling fine about your tattoos 18 years later is basically the best case scenario. That's the tattoo ceiling. At best it will be something you don't necessarily hate in a couple of decades. The floor is much, much lower. There is basically no scenario where you'll wake up every day for the next six decades thanking God that you have your tattoos. You'll either be totally humiliated by them down the line (which a lot of people are), or at best you'll be kind of ambivalent. Not a wise investment. Upside isn't nearly high enough to justify a permanent decision.
@elonmusk commercial airlines are stagnant and one of the worst experiences when traveling. We need you to revolutionize/replace this industry or humanity will deal with 1970s technology for the next 200 years.
For those wondering how this will play out:
>Trump has done something strong
>Democrats and the media will freak out all day
>Everything Trump did works
>Everyone moves on
>No one gives him credit
>>Move on to the next thing to panic about.
Every. Single. Time.
@UberEats y’all suck. Having canned options that go in circles is shit service. I can’t get a hold of driver. I can’t get y’all to do anything. Get a new driver to deliver my shit. It’s been almost two hours now.
Helen Andrews drops a provocative thesis: Feminization = wokeness.
Everything we call "woke"—empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition, inclusion over free speech—is just the natural outcome of institutions becoming majority-female since the 1970s.
She points to surveys: ~2/3 men prioritize free speech, ~2/3 women prioritize inclusive society. Men lean "ethics of justice" (rules/facts), women "ethics of caring" (context/relationships/emotions).
Examples: James Damore fired not for facts but because it made women "feel bad." Kavanaugh hearings: masculine side demanded evidence, feminine side focused on "she's crying."
Her take: When women predominate, politics/institutions tilt toward subjective feelings over objective rules—even if many women reject it (e.g., best Kavanaugh books by women critics).
This 2:46 clip is bold, polarizing, and ties demographic shifts to cultural ones.
Agree it's a key driver of wokeness? Or overreach? What's your read on the gender gaps in free speech/inclusion polls?
