I'm happy that Artemis I was successful. But it's also difficult to ignore that this is all that's left of a 300 ft tall vehicle because $3B of space hardware was disposable.

Things that stick with you for some reason: In the 90s there was an ad for Waste Management that featured one of its trucks driving past an ornate iron and glass canopy at night, and as a kid I wondered where that was because of how picturesque it looked.

“Multiple scientific studies have shown that killing #wolves does nothing to reduce livestock losses, ... over 40 years of wolf killing programs, that killing wolves doesn’t increase hunter success either.

The flying taxi ending traffic (just not for you)
Wisk’s self-flying taxi will transform city commutes (just not yours) by 2028.

Oooooor we could modify urban spaces to be more walkable, work from home, use flexible working hours, make public transportation more abundant, convenient, and affordable.

Boy bye!

"This most recent setback for Manchin's dirty energy giveaway is a monumental victory for the environmental movement, whose strong opposition once again stopped this scheme in its tracks," said Ariel Moger, government and political affairs director at Friends of the Earth.

This is Pico (as in picometer and *not* pico de gallo lol) using his feet as a pillow. He looooves Iceland and is sleepy from too many neighborhood cat visits #catsofmastodon

If folks are interested in a forward-looking framework to strengthen bedrock environmental laws in service of a clean energy transition and better deliver on environmental justice, some thoughts here. medium.com/@erikschlenkergoodr

Omg the FCC *actually* responded to our astronomer concerns about Starlink??? I’m in shock. We stopped the full megaconstellation disaster from destroying the sky. They’ve approved *less than one third* of their plan.
