Between this kind of thing and the vaccines, I think this is all over but the shouting. I am definitely done with wearing a mask outside, especially in sunlight. Masks outside never made any scientific sense.

Popular new mask says “I’m not a Democrat; I just forgot to take off my mask when I left the store.”
All these leftist institutions–government schools, academia, Hollywood, the media, the Democrat-run cities–should be thoroughly kicked while they’re down, and keep them down.
I think this is a message to Congress that if they want to increase the amount of money NASA has to waste on Artemis, they’re going to have to increase the budget.
I haven’t read it yet, but I wonder if the fact that SpaceX can takeoff and land with minimal blasting of regolith, with its engines so high on the vehicle, was a significant factor?

Glancing through it, ouch. Dynetics Technical Rating was “Marginal.” For the highest bid…
It’s a great honor to be nominated by @POTUS to support @SenBillNelson and help lead NASA. The agency is critical in America’s fight to combat climate change and maintain leadership in space.
Woke politics has also been useful for firms hiding all kinds of unsavoury practices. Many firms will proclaim allegiance to BLM one day, while lobbying against curbs on forced labour the next, for instance. Indeed, whether you take the Marxist view, that all firms in a capitalist system exploit labour anyway, or the Adam Smith view, that sellers in a marketplace act out of self-interest rather than kindness, it is surely hard to take any company’s proclamations of righteousness too seriously.
This reminds me of how “feminist” men use their wokeism to attempt to insulate themselves from their abuse of women, like when Harvey Weinstein went to war with the NRA to deflect from his predatory behavior toward starlets.
