I gifted this article if anyone wants to read. This seems pretty ballsy from China "Chinese spy balloon flying over U.S. ‘right now,’ Pentagon says" wapo.st/3HsIPln

dc2london I hate that shit. I mean, it's crazy and cool to some people but by god do I hate it. Everything about space makes me so incredibly anxious. How do people study it without being in complete existential crisis, I will never know.

FFFC: I am somewhat surprised that a citizen (or group thereof) up in Montana did not executed a plan to bring down the ‘civilian research balloon’. Perhaps I have overestimated the resourcefulness of our ranchers and other hardy souls that call that area of our country home.

I scheduled a meeting for my boss today with someone named Gabi Bartlett and I kept thinking I must know her from somewhere because her name sounded so familiar.
And then I realized it's because it sounds like "Abby Bartlett." Lol.

Like the ones who are collecting ammunitions and guns to protect their lands and home from some perceived threat only to let something that could be seen as an actual threat just float on by. Either they were oblivious, or their attempts failed. I think it’s at an elevation above where commercial aircraft fly. I’m sure if it was lower it would have been shot!

How do people study it without being in complete existential crisis, I will never know. I go back and forth between existential crisis and being comforted by being so tiny. It's like religion to me, I truly do not understand how we can know these things.

I was just reading that the 5th circuit deemed unconstitutional the ban on those that have orders of protection against them from owning guns.
what the hell is wrong with the judicial system in this country.

This breaks my heart for the students and staff who thought that this college was a safe place for them especially in Florida.

It is 1000% not meteorological at all. We (the US) know this because we do the same shit. Even China doesn’t believe it’s own bullshit lol

Hoorayyyyy! 'But amid forceful calls for a calendar that better reflects the racial diversity of the Democratic Party and the country — and after Iowa’s 2020 meltdown led to a major delay in results — Democrats endorsed a proposal that would start the 2024 Democratic presidential primary circuit on Feb. 3 in South Carolina, the state that resuscitated Mr. Biden’s once-flailing candidacy. It would be followed by New Hampshire and Nevada on Feb. 6, Georgia on Feb. 13 and then Michigan on Feb. 27.'
