After 50+ years of doing it, skateboarding is still the best thing ever, hands down.

@SeanOTracey2@Rainmaker1973 Words have meaning. They matter. Call a thing what it is.
The unserious f'g conservatives, calling liberals fascists have zero knowledge of their atrocities, don'tcha know?
@SeanOTracey2@Rainmaker1973 Those calling authoritarian fascists "Nazis" are the canary in the coal mines, warning the rest of us where this kind of government leads.
Every time authoritarians take control of a country, it leads to death and destruction.
@davidfrum@AntiToxicPeople Worth noting: it's hard to celebrate American democracy & "freedom" when we are no longer free and this is no longer a democracy.
Even if Trump said nothing and didn't participate, we are watching the death of America.
Long after he goes away the damage and shame will remain.
@MarcusHouse Worth considering if it comes at the tower for a catch like this, I worry it will make contact. I'm sure the engineers have a plan for this… we'll see.
@planethunter56 There will be no uniting behind anything this man says or does, and until he is out of office, exposed, and faces the consequences of his crimes, the world will continue to view anything he has touched as tainted.
@Bot1397642@SciGuySpace People (well connected/respected or not) claiming a thing is not evidence.
What they are describing would be evidence - if it was made available for inspection & analysis, and corroborated by multiple independent experts - and if the physical objects were produced to the public.
Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable
You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it.....
I was born and raised in Appalachia ... These very people could be my relatives ..... but ... I .... got common sense from my granny ----- "question everything". VIA~Lee Murphy
@Rainmaker1973 Just look at the current president and his administration, probably the majority of which are sociopathic as well as almost everyone who funded them. 🤷🏻♂️
@FelixSchlang@Erdayastronaut@otherside_X42 This seems… ungainly at best. Unlikely to be problem free with so many points of failure along the mission timeline, and if it doesn't all go nominally, carries immense risk to the crew.
Why isn't anyone asking harder questions with better answers from SpaceX and NASA?
@highbrow_nobrow@Acyn Took me just half an hour with a video editing program...
at zero cost except for the electricity...
with very little effort...
to make this...
