People still doing "do you think voting can fix this" memes when the answer to the question "when did voting last end an authoritarian regime" is "two days ago"

Am enthralled by this visualization NASA shared of Artemis II's path through space. The most mathematically accurate little dance. <3

weaselle

imagine. That is literally a really complex math equation, and then hardware built to enact that math equation with EXTREME precision.

Dude, if i was on that thing? i'd be checking the whole time, like, "hey, so, are we still exactly where the math said we should be? going the speed everyone predicted? okay, coolcoolcool. uh. How bout now?"

hold on, hold on. Our earth, okay, is following our sun, right, so we're doing this through space

and they are doing THAT slingshot and return maneuver while everything is doing what the gif shows, only the distances are unimaginably vast. And they are just. In a fancy tin can that we exploded up off the earth into space on the strength of our certainty we understand some very complex physics equations.

it's wild

Now imagine that when we approached the moon during the Apollo missions in the 1960s, ALL OF THAT MATH was calculated on paper by hand (mostly by women, many of them black women),

or at best by room-sized computers doing one calculation at a time painstakingly written by humans

#Anyway watch #hidden figures #this trip is impressive and so is the math that goes into it #but to me what's even more impressive #is that we've been doing this math for 50 years #before modern computers even existed #and a computer was the job title of a person with a lot of paper and a basic calculator

USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.

If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.

Are you with me?

Spread the word.

For context, there is a blackout on February 28 to protest against de DEI roll back

The national economic blackout is scheduled as a way for Americans to boycott major retailers that have pulled back on DEI policies.

GRIPPING EVERYBODY’S SHOULDERS SO TIGHTLY RIGHT NOW. YOU WILL VOTE FOR HARRIS. YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS NO MORAL WAY TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE US AND YOU WILL STILL VOTE TO STRATEGICALLY PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean - Every Single 'Okey-Dokey!' Fallout (2024)

What I love about Ted Allen on chopped is when he introduces the judges and he's always like "resteraunteur" or "executive chef" but whenever it's Chris Santos he's like "small plate rockstar and critically acclaimed cool guy!!" Or smth else wildly dramatic

#chopped #why does ted allen think chris santos is so cool #also sometimes when he introduces alex guarnaschelli you get the feeling hes about to be like #and my very best friend chef alex from the food network #like yes ted we love her too

One thing about me is that I will vote in polls

#just voted on a poll telling a stranger to get a tattoo #it's fine #my civic duty #is clicking little text bubble options on the Internet
