Many of my readers of a certain age may have had Dads or uncles who were enthusiasts of a certain style of rec room bar lighting. Here’s my backhanded tribute to classic Mid 20th American cheese.

OK, US media – and aerospace-related trade media, I’m especially looking at YOU – it’s time to cut the goddamn crap and quit calling these knobs “private astronauts” and call them what they are: “rich-ass motherfuckers who can afford to have themselves shot into space”, especially this Isaacman clown who could afford to have himself shot into space twice, and on the second flight performed the most useless-ass excuse for an EVA ever. Even Alexei Leonov was out longer, and actually managed to gather significant scientific and engineering data while in the process of getting back into the spacecraft without accidentally killing himself.
But yeah, sure… the standard-issue tech entrepreneur who has near-zero training or experience in aerospace engineering or program management or flying high-performance jet aircraft at all but who made himself a massive pile off a payment processing company he supposedly started as a teenager in his parents’ basement (your standard tech-bro rags-to-riches saga) and so was able to pay to have himself shot into space twice and who is best buds with Elon Musk is, according to the Donster, the ideal choice for NASA Administrator. Yeah, that’s right — the goddamn “private astronaut”.
We’re fucked on Earth, and fucked in space.

If you’re a Liberal or Progressive who, at this point, is still furiously bitching about why the Democrats won’t “do something” about all this, then you’re as stupid as you look.

So — exactly how comically bad ARE Liberals, Centrists and other mutant beasts in the Democratic Party Zoo going to get about this shit? Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, “and the rest” are basically selling us out and handing us over to the Fascists, like “m’eh, waddya gonna do…?” right out in front of Jah and everybody, and the Liberal/Centrist crowd tells us to stop “overreacting”.
Well, hell — they aren’t the ones who are being criminalized and terrorized for merely existing, so of course.
Assholes.
