@politicalmath The Right Stuff easily in the top 5 of that list. If you’re not fond of the space program YMMV.

But LBJ exclaiming Gladiolas is worth the price of admission.

@Stanimal032 Otherwise he’d be in a flannel lined Starter track suit circa 1996.

@harambeksu @kstatesports I’d guess it’s a Lear field coding issue. Does the same issue happen for other Lear field schools?

@DScottFritchen Appreciate your love of the University. Glad you’re staying to tell all the stories.

Thomas Sowell on engineers vs intellectuals:

“The engineer is judged by the end product. If he builds a building that collapses, it doesn’t matter how brilliant his idea was—he’s ruined.”

“Conversely, if an intellectual has an idea for rearranging society and that ends in disaster, he pays no price at all.”

I wrote the cover story this week for the @dcexaminer about @BenSasse - I didn't really "enjoy" writing it, considering the circumstances, but having met him, spoken to him, and interviewed in the past, I did want to write it. I hope you'll read it.

Every American should watch every second of this video.

Thank you, @BenSasse.

okay so this is legitimately impressive.

@CatsMan15 We have no place in this story but still some think…

[Sarah Fields @SarahisCensored]

He is not here 🤷🏻‍♀️

NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices.

And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works.

Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse.

This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway. The toilet actually got fixed faster.

The real story here is that Microsoft has achieved something no other software company in history can claim: a support ticket from lunar transit. Their enterprise sales team should frame this. "Battle-tested in space" is a positioning statement most B2B companies would mass murder for, and Microsoft accidentally earned it because Outlook crashes everywhere, including orbit.

Outlook remains the only software in human history that performs identically whether you're in a cubicle in Redmond or aboard a spacecraft bound for the Moon. Universally, reliably broken. And we keep buying it anyway.

@united @SkyWestAirlines I suppose the only upside is I now have updated content for worst travel experience in a while.

@united @SkyWestAirlines ua5031 your gate board doesn’t communicate reality. Gate agent says we don’t control those. Thanks for lying straight up to us.

[abe smith @abe_smith]

@united @SkyWestAirlines 7+ hour delay due to a pilot error issue causing a maintenance issue. The rep plane was originally scheduled to be here at 830p now 2 hours late.we are locked in because TSA had to go home. And the compensation has been a fist full of cracker bags UA 5031
