My son and I toured Steve @FutureJurvetson's space museum at his VC office, which is likely the largest in private hands. It expanded substantially since our previous tour in 2021. Latest video: https://t.co/fVr7lwH6Q0

@KQEDForum Why hold on to a dinosaur? Station owners can ask listeners to use a streaming service

Would you like to get excellent green tea directly from Japan? Mohei tea is grown at the foothills of Mt. Fuji. Support their project to sell abroad on #Kickstarter: https://t.co/HvWlzgQ38e. I took photos in their tea plantation and factory & bought some tea, good stuff!

@KQEDForum @MarkOlalde @DPurvisPE Nobody talks about the underlying problem, the elephant in the room: the sole metric is shareholder value. My dream is that most big companies transition to operate as B-corps, driven by awareness and public pressure

[Peter Thoeny @peterthoeny]

Facebook is rotten to its core. They only care about shareholder value, not its users. I report 30+ spammers/day who post s*xually suggestive videos in groups I manage, & get a "don't care" response or an error message. We are the product, not the customers at FB. #facebook #spam

@KQEDForum @JennieBrand1 @kmin @SinemBuber1 @AlphabetWorkers Companies in the USA are shooting themself in the foot with layoffs: severance package, rehiring cost on boom, lower valuation. In Switzerland and Germany there is Kurzarbeit, “short work”: instead of laying off 10%, they ask employees to work 90%, win win for workers & companies

@dirkriehle There is a reason. I always keep my shoes on during takeoff and landings.

My contribution to #NASAMoonSnap

Partial #LunarEclipse of May 2022 over #LickObservatory: The moon was in a partial eclipse when it rose, the bright part in the upper right is the normal appearance lit by the sun, the rest is dark because the sunlight is blocked by Earth.

My contribution to #NASAMoonSnap #ArtemisLaunch:

In May 2022 I attended a rocket launch in the California Mojave desert by space startup @EvolutionSpace_. I took this moon shot in the early morning before launch. #rocketlaunch #space

@krystiangebis @FutureJurvetson Thanks Krystian. You can see the Milky Way and a gazillion stars clearly with bare eyes. The camera with a light sensitive f0.95 lens can capture more details.
