Cartilage isn't like muscle. Muscle is directly innervated with blood vessels and gets fed nutrients by the circulatory system. Knee cartilage is actually fed nutrients by being bathed in a nutrient bath of synovial fluid. The physical motion of bending and unbending pushes that fluid around and makes sure it gets into the cartilage properly. I feel like I'm summarizing this poorly, or oversimplifying it maybe, but this is essentially why your joints start to break down if you don't move them enough. If you're not moving them, you're not feeding them.

I genuinely think that employee who lit the toilet paper warehouse on fire in Ontario, CA just gave us the most unhinged, late-stage capitalism version of the Boston Tea Party imaginable. Like… that’s not a normal escalation. That’s not “bad day at work” behavior. That’s “something is deeply broken and people are past the point of coping quietly.”

You don’t get to arson as a first step. That’s what happens when anger has been building with nowhere to go, when people feel ignored, squeezed, and disposable for way too long. It’s messy, it’s extreme, and it’s definitely not random. It feels like a signal flare.

Not saying this is *the* moment, but it sure as hell feels like the kind of thing that only starts happening when people are done playing along.

Spitballing with the fellas on discord and we've come up with a Star Trek character we want to see: A 200-year-old top Vulcan diplomat attending a function and laughing boisterously and slapping backs with everyone and then just relaxing into resting bitch face the moment nobody is watching him. He takes his job deadly seriously and studied parties extensively in the diplomatic academy. Every year he's brushing up on new developments in party theory. He knows every party nuance you could possibly think of, for the sake of intergalactic relations. Peace in the galaxy depends on it. It's weird but you gotta meet people where they're at, he thinks.

human diplomat: [laughs at joke]

vulcan diplomat (to himself): this is great. I’m going to get a good grade in Party, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

Early on, SpaceX was exciting because it was "new ways to explore space, make it cheaper so we can do more science and fly more frequently, even go to other worlds".

It didn't take long for it to become painfully clear that the sole motivating factor behind all of this was... money. Commodify space. Treat it like the next step in 'manifest destiny'. The stupid hippies won't let us steamroll over the jungles and prairies, let's just go into space where we can do whatever the hell we want and make shitloads of money for ourselves.

NASA... which is a government organization and by definition is not doing this for the profit motive... is actually interested in not just the science of space exploration, the advancements we could make as a result, but also the human experience of actually going to space.

This is why Artemis is important.

It reminds you that space is not a resource to be exploited to fuel unending economic growth.

Space is the next step in exploration. We go there to better understand the cosmos, ourselves, and our place in it.

That is what makes it exciting.

Not the incoherent babblings of a racist sex-pest marketing guru who designed the fugliest truck to ever exist.

I was amused by this rather “freaky” bit of Edwardiana, especially since I always got the feeling that Charles Dana Gibson, when drawing the Gibson Girl, was at least partially fantasizing about being stepped on or something.
