    People are losing their shit with no regard for how much shit they need to be keeping in reserve, in order to lose later.

    Alright, I'm going to take a year off the twitters and see what else I can do with the time. Follow for blog post notifications, for actual Pinboard stuff. Great Slate 2022: under no circumstances give any politicians money. See you all in 2023!

    "It might seem hopeless, but it is only truly hopeless if we stop trying". A moving thread on the grief and resilience that is in Hong Kongers' hearts right now

    Breaking: ongoing police raid on ‘s respected and widely followed Police have sealed off its 14/f bureau and searching the offices given an “ongoing operation”. This is another major blow to press freedom under the security crackdown just before year end

    The better decision here would have been a Covid Bowl, with an asymptomatic bracket matched up against athletes who are mildly ill. "WE SMELL VICTORY!" "WE CAN'T BUT IT WILL BE OURS!"

    I have reported them to the police -- I also don't like the way those Poissons are looking at me

    There's exoplanets fucking everywhere but our space agency is busy playing Habitrail.

    Again, the problem here is not spending money on space exploration, but spending money on lack of space exploration. The opportunity cost to real space science of building another modular space station (the first one would have bought us 15 Webb space telescopes) is outrageous.

    The bureaucratic lesson of the space station is that a combination of large enough sunk costs and triply redundant international partners can give a spacecraft sufficient shielding from Congress. NASA is now applying this to the Moon missions, which is why they are so insane

    If you love the non-stop exploration action of ISS, you're going to love this new deeper space ISS, which is the same thing but without the view

    If you don't speak acronym, what this says is that NASA will launch Gateway (a tiny and unnecessary space station), and then add three modules with living space, life support, fuel, followed by the large habitat that's notionally supposed to go to Mars, for multi-year testing.

    An interesting tidbit in NASA's "Strategic Campaign Operations Plan for Exploration" is that they're trying to sneak building a second ISS in lunar orbit under the Congressional radar. The Gateway made no sense on its own, but it is just the seed for another modular space station

    The obvious implication is that a 14 day Federal holiday would crush the pandemic. I'm not going to wait for the government to act; I'm doing my part now

    Totally normal how in year two and wave four of a pandemic we just don't report case numbers on weekends or holidays

    Sure, yesterday was rough, but no one is celebrating how D.C. reported *no* covid cases on five of the last ten days. The capital's innovative approach to reaching Covid Zero could serve as a model for the rest of the nation.
