“Three years ago, SpaceX lost 40 satellites due to their ignorance of space weather implications and upper atmosphere density impacts. They immediately came to NOAA and said, ‘hey, help us out’,” Spinrad said, calling it “an object lesson there for Elon Musk himself” on the agency’s value.

via Reddit:

a cross post from Twitter calling out to remember the fact that Trump's first impeachment in his first term was due to the fact that he tried to get Pres. Zelensky to lie about Biden's impropriety. Zelensky refused.  Trump was threatening to withhold aid with Zelensky supporting and parrotting this narative.  The ask is for ANY of the mainstream media to call this out in thier current coverage of the ambush which occurred in the Oval Office on Feb. 28, 2025.

There seems to be some mistake.

I've checked over all of these, and I can't seem to find anything covering 'The US sides with Russia against the rest of the Free World'.

Is that in some optional rules section?

I am perhaps a bit late to the game but NotebookLM is pretty good. I had it generate a podcast based on a recent trade mark decision in Singapore that I am familiar with, and it picked up on nuances that GPT-4 didn't (such as the difference between well-known and well-known to the public at large).

(I gave it the PDF decision, as well as the IPOS trade marks infopack and the Act for context)

@isagalaev I agree. If you read my TL you’ll see I’m not “waiting” for the midterms. I’m doing everything in my power to mobilize people now.Im not taking anything for granted. I said if we manage to come out in undeniable numbers for the midterms, we have a chance at salvaging Democracy, not let’s wait till then & see how it goes. I’ve visited a dictatorship & spent time in Berlin when it was an island. I understand how scary & serious this all is. @ymasumac @Meyerweb #AfternoonNotesToAmerica #

#AfternoonNotesToAmerica #RaiseYourVoice Show the GOP Democracy matters. Once a day for a minimum of 3 minutes, stand on your porch holding ANY simple 3 word sign. If your porch isn’t safe, project it on the side of a building, chalk it where it's legal, power wash it on sidewalks, take sticks & scratch it into the sand or dirt, slap stickers or scribble it on faded old yard sale signs on poles, call Congress, wear it on a shirt or printed on your grocery bag, slap a sticker on your backpack, KEEP IT LEGAL, BUT KEEP IT UP. - Under those words a stick figure surrounded by cats is holding a sign that says Raise your VOICE. the orange cat’s holding a sign that says meow, meow meow. The black cat is peeking in from the side. The Maine coon just looks sweet and confuzzled and the grey cat with the white ruff just looks sweet and I added a puppy chewing on his WOOF WOOF WOOF! sign

TRUTH

‘Help them connect the dots: “It’s not just bad luck, it’s GOP policy. You deserve better.”

Offer a way out: “You don’t have to stay loyal to people who are screwing you over.”

Because here’s the truth: We don’t need all of them to wake up. Just a few percent. 3.5% to be precise. That’s all it takes to flip an election, dismantle Trumpism, and start rebuilding what these ghouls have burned down.’
