This used to be a science account but Twitter is trash so this is now for sarcasm only. Space physics stuff at spacecataz1663 on bluesky.

There are other important factors in his favor as well. The work force is desperate for leadership after a year of uncertainty. Isaacman is a genuinely kind person. He's intelligent and analytical. And most of all, he really does seem to be going for this to improve things.

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities.

The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations.

To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality.

And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further.

NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history.

Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history 🇺🇸

@Justin_Rogers It's probably your TV viewing history.

the moment NFL twitter moves to bluesky/whatevs is the moment I stop checking twitter *at all.*

Had a few people ask if I was on Bluesky. Am now:

FYI, I'm over there, and I won't be doing much of anything over here any more. At all.

Ohio is a fucking embarrassment, man.

On CNN SOTU, Sen. John Fetterman pushes back on GOP transgender ads blanketing the state. "It doesn't make you a man to pick on trans or gay kids. It just makes you an asshole."

Chris here - just to elaborate.

Not been a fan of Mr Beast's content for many years now. I don’t think he’s inherently bad, but like many folks his content isn’t aimed at me and thankfully his videos never appear on my homepage.

However, seeing him partner with Logan Paul, a man who's done nothing but awful act after act for almost a decade now just made me snap.

It may have been six years but I still have the dystopian fucked up image in my head, of Logan Paul vlogging himself in the Aokigahara forest, mocking somebody who was quite literally hanging from a tree before him. And rather than do what any decent person would do, and show compassion and immediately switch off the camera, he recklessly and selfishly exploited it for views. He carried on filming. He joked about it. And then he actively uploaded it to his channel.

Then I had to go on Japanese national tv and explain why a foreign YouTuber would want to exploit a man who’d tragically taken his own life for views. Understandably, everyone in Japan was confused why anyone would do such a thing.

And while I believe in forgiveness, Logan Paul hasn't exactly reformed his character. He's not a changed man - barely a week goes by without a new headline of some outrageous, awful shit he's actively partaken in.

So to see the world's largest Youtube gleefully partner with a man like that and endorse them to an audience of tens of millions of kids is something that just sickens me, all in the name of some disgustingly tacky food product, again aimed at children. I'm not sure what counter argument he has up his sleeve this time, but you can be damn sure references to philanthropy will be made in abundance.

My rant wasn’t about “making money is bad”. It was about the act of making money by partnering with a man with an abhorrent track record to sell crap food aimed at children seems like a pretty spectacular error of judgment.

Spruengli breakfast before my flight home- a day late to catch the aurora excitement!

[Dan Welling @spacecataz1663]

What a great solar storm! The Sun's magnetic field really cooperated to produce auroras visible all over the US!

[Dan Welling @spacecataz1663]

Living vicariously through my fam in Chelsea, MI. It was cloudy and rainy in Bern, Switzerland, but seeing some AMAZING pictures from home!

[Chelsea Athletics @ChelseaBulldogs]

Wow!

[Dan Welling @spacecataz1663]

RT @spacewxwatch: Strong geomagnetic storm in progress now following an obvious impactful CME arrival here in the solar wind with total fie…

[Dan Welling @spacecataz1663]

STORM SUDDEN COMMENCEMENT IS HERE YEAAAHHHHHHHH

[Dan Welling @spacecataz1663]

BACK ON AURORA WATCH! This one has mid-latitude potential! The high estimated speed of this event has me excited, as that helps drive things southward. Now we cross our fingers for a good magnetic field alignment!

[NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center @NWSSWPC]

A fast CME erupted from the Sun the evening of 8 Oct and is likely to arrive at Earth on 10 Oct. This CME has been analyzed and there is potential to reach G4 levels upon arrival and throughout CME passage. Visit https://t.co/89xOZCTfxh for the full story.

Things did not come together for this solar storm. First arrival was a few hours ago; it's neither fast nor strong. There's a chance that a second arrival will get things going, but [looks up at the Sun]... yeah. It's daytime.

[Dan Welling @spacecataz1663]

I'll be on #aurora watch this weekend as we await the arrival of the CMEs associated with the recent flares! An arrival tonight would mean a fast traveling event (and therefore stronger aurora), but it sounds like things are more likely arriving tomorrow.

@Vincent_Ledvina I'm trying to show self-restraint.
