I have to steel myself to watch this episode. So painful (complimentary).

This is Naomi Nagata of the Rocinante. If you get this message, please retransmit. Tell James Holden I am in distress. Comm is not responding. I have no nav control. Please retransmit. #TheExpanse

Screen shot from The Expanse. Naomi Nagata is in a vac suit which has no air supply, as she stands in between the Chetzemoka's inner and outer hull where she can access the transmitter. She recites the false message her ship is programmed to broadcast, as she tries to strategically interrupt it to change its meaning to warn her friends away.

I am too, as long as "understanding" is the priority. So break it down by severity of injuries and injury rates, then put it in proper context (compared with walking, biking and driving).

Oh I'm not angry. Just curating my experience. NYC mayor made one yesterday that drew more than the usual share of unhinged replies so that's where the recent additions came from.

I wish people understood that TV writers: 1. *Have* actually thought more about this than even the most die hard fan. 2. Are beholden to time, money, and owner constraints that fans will never be aware of. 3. Are extremely likely to already be aware of any critiques because (see 1) but (see 2)

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

The NFL has consistently been amorally interested in brand protection and growth. So yeah they probably don't want Watson to be the face of the franchise anymore than Kaepernick. Anything they think will hurt sales.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Will it ever go to the moon? My gut says no. Will it be profitable? We live in a shitty world where that doesn't seem to matter, thanks to Musk's grift. But SpaceX has great engineers so it'll probably end up delivering a lot of Starlink satellites, based on what we saw today.

Charlie Brainman @expanse.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Look, I get and share the motivation for framing it this way (hit water and blew up, SPACEX FAIL) but it's a legitimately successful soft 'landing' in preparation for a real landing back at the launch site. Exploding is the expected outcome for a rocket in this case (heat + residual fuel).

My main opinion is "lists are made for problematic discourse" BUT I will say that The Good Place was absolutely flawless in terms of writing, pacing, characterization, and casting, and it should be higher. And also, shout out to Justified on here. I fucking loved Justified so much.

In this frame from The Expanse season 5 finale, Naomi Nagata floats in space in a vac suit without an air supply, hoping for rescue. Her arms are spread out wide next to her helmet as she uses Belter emergency hand signals to warn that the Chetzemoka is an explosion hazard.

Ten years of (mostly) fun! Loved some of the big swings they took, and I'll miss getting new Star Trek. Very wary of where it goes under the new management.
