Looking at some beautiful photos of Starbase - Trantor going up /
Elon Musk and SpaceX - badass. Pure awesomeness like in the Asimov novels. The rest are along for the ride. /
And the majority of humanity is just asleep.
First commercial spacewalk coming up, Polaris Dawn. People forget though it's Elon who did this. No Elon, no commercial spacewalk. Polaris Dawn just bought a ride on SpaceX. No Elon, no SpaceX /

Happy Birthday to my dear Dad. It would have been his 86th birthday. Rest in peace, Dad /
As I'm going through my emails I would run into emails from Dad.
He would say please call. Love, Dad.
Today I feel him together with me, I cried a little and I remember his love, he always made sure to tell me he loved me.

Once you see one AI image, you've seen them all.lol /
Facebook and the New York Times are advertising businesses, just like the guy who holds a large Subway sign on the corner, they just tell you where to go to buy stuff /
Before you pick the message, carefully pick the source of the message. As the great artist Ultraviolet said - The Messiah is the Message /
I don't believe for one second that they want to use AI to do something decent. If they do they would have been doing it already. They want AI to tell them how to be Gods. /
My favorite binge is several pounds of bananas in one sitting /
The economics of bananas is the most amazing thing, whenever I go - bananas are always there.
Manhattan curbside walk should be an olympic sport /
Manhattan curbside walk - which is avoiding bushes in cement vases, handlebars of bikes, actual bikes, people waiting for curbside taxis, mailboxes, street signs and other furniture and people.
I'm obsessed with the large Sarens crane on Starbase /
3 and a half months after losing my dad and my mom is unwell currently awaiting very risky surgery and in pain, I'm consoling myself with starship videos watching the catching dampers installed /
I love watching the starships in sped up videos moving like little sharks swimming. It is so amazing to see somebody's doing something right in the world. While all politicians and especially my Democratic senators from New York doing very little work for the betterment of this country. The pretend work my Democratic politicians send me emails about is actually worse than nothing. My brother told me that phrase when something is so bad it's actually worse than nothing.
Of course binge watching all kinds of updates on starbase and starship that I missed out on, it's currently my only little happiness in the world. The starship factory is so amazing, cute and awe inspiring at the same time. And the Two Towers? Breathtaking.
