TIL that the author of "Goodnight Moon" died following a routine operation at age 42, and did not live to see the success of her book. She bequeathed the royalties to Albert Clarke, the nine-year-old son of her neighbor, who squandered the millions the book earned him.

The media did try to push the "Democrats in disarray" narrative exactly like I expected them to, but it failed spectacularly because so many Democrats galvanized behind Kamala so quickly.

We dodged a bullet. If not for that, things would look like 1968 right now (similar chaos resulted in Nixon getting elected).

Trump accused of 'jingoistic fascist rhetoric' with comment about punishing flag burners

Donald Trump on Saturday called for an "immediate" one-year prison term for anyone who burns an American flag, saying we should "make it not unconstitutional" to punish that type of political speech.

I don't think that these pro-Trump desperate attempts to avoid democratic policies by Elon qualify as his most bananas though. Some of those Nazi tweets should have been worse for his companies' fates imo.

In the end what good is innovation if ot doesn't help people or the planet? The billionaires that put on fronts that they help solve climate change are trying to cover their asses of them responsible for the earths decay, their industries continue to thrive while greenwashing the problems they cause and place the responsibility on us when they own the means of production which isn't sustainable. Wealth doesn't mean shit if the planet dies, if it dies we won't be here.

To a moral non-objectivist / skeptic, innovation is neither good nor bad. It is just something that happens. For example, many would view the innovation of nuclear weapons as pretty bad. Less controversial cases of innovation are still murky, with subjectively "good" and "bad" elements of the innovation.

Never once did I say innovation was a good or bad thing, throughout history societal developed and used innovation to make their lives more efficient. The power of innovation itself isn't a problem, it's how it's used and who is using it. Capitalism is a system that uses innovation for profit not for societal development, it utilizes earth resources in an exploitative way for profit, not for innovation. The motive for Capitalism innovation is profit.

When you maximize profit you're doing it at the expense of other and the environment. In the case of Capitalist they don't mind exploiting workers for profit and discarding them and neither do they care about exploiting the environment for its finite resources. So when you maximize profit for yourself it comes at a cost of others. It would be exploitative. And I would argue money has no real value but it's a oppressive tool used by Capitalism to hold monopoly over the proletariat.

See, right there you have landed on the subjective nature. The exploitee disapproves of the arrangement and the exploiter approves.

Well according to what folks felt in 2018 we are in fact, *beyond* the tipping point. With that in mind, you have to understand and prepare for things to get really really not great in your lifetime, maybe as soon as within the next decade.

The challenge with statistical models is that they are built on what we know, so cannot effectively predict the results of what we don't know. (same reason that an LLM can't write cogently about something it hasn't been trained on).

My guess is that it's going to get really real for people when sea level jumps 10m (~32'). That's the building code in Florida for building to avoid storm surges and king tides. When the base level of the ocean is there, storm surges and king tides will be another 32' higher than *that*.

I am cynical enough to think that it only becomes "mainstream" news when the rich and powerful start to actually suffer (which they will when their beach front property becomes worthless and/or their rental units get flooded). Poor people dying from the effects of climate change? That is somehow always "their" problem and not "our" problem. It only becomes "real" (again in my opinion) when it discomforts the 1%ers.

Live coverage: SpaceX prepares for first of back-to-back Sunday morning Falcon 9 launches

[summary]The overnight launch marks the second Falcon 9 flight since the July 11
mishap that grounded the rocket. Liftoff is targeting 1:09 a.m. EDT (0509
UTC).

" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://spaceflightnow.com/2024/07/28/live-coverage-spacex-to-launch-falcon-9-rocket-on-starlink-mission-from-cape-canaveral-3/[/summary]

Live coverage: SpaceX prepares for first of back-to-back Sunday morning Falcon 9 launches



5950752File: A Falcon 9 rocket stands ready to launch a Starlink mission. Image: SpaceX

Update: SpaceX adjusted the T-0 liftoff time of the mission.

SpaceX aims to continue its post-mishap resurgence with back-to-back launches in the early morning hours of Sunday. It staged two of its Falcon 9 rockets to launch from its pads in both Florida and California.

First up is the Starlink 10-4 mission, which will add a batch of 23 Starlink Version 2 Mini satellites to its growing mega-constellation. Liftoff is targeting 1:09 a.m. EDT (0509 UTC).

Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about an hour prior to liftoff.

The mission comes on the heels of a successful return to flight operation for SpaceX early Saturday morning. It was the first Falcon 9 launch in just over two weeks, following a second stage mishap that occurred during a Starlink mission, which launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base on July 11.

The Falcon 9 booster supporting this mission, tail number B1077 in the SpaceX fleet, will be launching for a 14th time. It previously launched NASA’s Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station, the GPS 3 Space Vehicle 06 satellite and two cargo missions to the orbiting outpost among its previous flights.

A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the booster will land on the SpaceX droneship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas.’ If successful, it will mark the 77th landing on ASOG and the 331st booster landing to date.

The Starlink 10-4 mission will be the 51st dedicated Starlink launch of 2024 and the 114th dedicated launch of the V2 Mini variety of Starlink satellites.

According to expert orbital tracker and astrophysicist, Jonathan McDowell, there are more than 6,100 active Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit. On Wednesday, SpaceX announced that with a recent deal from the airline, WestJet, Starlink internet service is now available on more than 1,000 aircraft.

@msbellows That doesn't mean he's not an ableist. His covid failures affect many disabled people & they're struggling for help. He has ignored them, is an antimasker & got covid 3 times & still doesn't take masking seriously enough. Several politicians here, in BC(and in several other provinces), across Canada, also supported past pro disability bills & pushes to change policies that affect disabled folks. They all failed to actually help disabled people, once they got into higher positions of public office & had more powers. In fact, almost all of them voted against increasing benefits & medical supports for people with disabilities.

I sure hope that what is happening in the home of modern democracy is not similar to what happened in France for the Olympics opening day.

I have #BitWarden.

I love #BitWarden.

I gladly pay for #BitWarden.

And I'll continue to pay for #BitWarden.

Hands down it's the best value on the planet ($10/ yr) when it comes to a personal credential vault.

That being said, I'm getting ready to install the #BitWarden#Server software on my NAS.

Not because I don't trust #BitWarden... (I trust them explicitly.)

But it's nice to be in control of one's credentials just a little more.

Hezbollah “behind the rocket launch at a soccer field in Majdal Shams which caused multiple civilian casualties, including children, earlier this evening,” says IDF. “According to an IDF situational assessment and the intelligence in our possession, the rocket launch toward Majdal Shams was carried out by the Hezbollah terrorist organization.”

@GreenFire Hopefully we can all agree on that, and also take actual action to implement a solution that addresses how we got to state of war to begin with (and who/what is sustaining it, especially if it has been ongoing for a long time).

Yes, those religions and other human nature are quite old if that's what you mean by acknowledging what Russia, China and Iran are doing in the Middle East.

Young family, penniless, hitchhiking on U.S. Highway 99 in California. The father, twenty-four, and the mother, seventeen, came from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Early in 1935, their baby was born in the Imperial Valley, California, where they were working as field laborers

This is a black and white photograph featuring three individuals on what appears to be a dirt road. The person in the center, likely an adult male, is walking towards the camera carrying a suitcase. He has dark hair and is wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants. To his left, there is a woman dressed in a long dress with a pattern at the bottom, a belted waist, and a full skirt that reaches her calves. She appears to be holding a young child in her arms who is also wearing a light-colored top. On the right side of the image, another adult male can be seen walking away from the camera. He is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and dark clothing. There are power lines visible in the background against a clear sky. The setting suggests a rural or semi-rural environment, possibly during a time when traveling by car was less common. There's no text present on the image to provide additional context.
