We made this very motivational comic.

2) *Rocket going past moon* “Even if you miss”
3) *Astronaut tethered to rocket surrounded by stars* “You’ll land among the stars”
4) Astronaut, zoomed in: I will die alone up here.

The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @repaprildelaney.bsky.social and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

There are countless explanations for separate instances of people doing terrible things. “Demonic spirits” aren't a thing. And why single out women? Misogyny seems to be doing more work here than any demon.

Just go to therapy, bro.
DAVID JIANG, COFOUNDER and CEO of smart glasses company Viture, tells me about how he used to yell at his kid.

His 10-year-old son played tennis. During tournaments, Jiang says he had a habit of shouting and criticizing his son’s mistakes as he played. He wanted to apply pressure to make him succeed—it was the way he’d been taught to raise kids, after all. It made sense.

But then, unprompted, his smart glasses sent him a message. The AI assistant in his company’s newest wearable had picked up on what he was doing, recognized that his behavior wasn’t helpful, and messaged him about what he should do differently. Stop shouting. Stop criticizing. Just be there, be present, and show that you support your son. That worked, Jiang says, and being called out like that has supposedly made him a better father and improved the relationship with his kid, all thanks to his yet-to-be-released Vonder AI glasses.

Every liberal or so called progressive politician attacking trans people is doing so because they want to. Not because it's popular. Not because it wins elections. Not even because it's a big issue facing cis women in sports. They're choosing to do it because they're bigots

El Niño strengthening into unseen territory. The Niño3.4 region just reached a +3.0 °C anomaly (relative to the 1991–2020). Such a warmth has never been observed in September, and it's only a few hundredths of a degree away from the 2015 all-time record.
