Ah #May1 , the day when the entire world *except* America commemorates the loss of life in a worker's strike that happened in *Chicago*.
One of my favorite little quirks of global politics.

@alien@mastodon.green @sundogplanets@mastodon.social I think the FAA will have a thing or two to say about it, especially wrt flash blinding pilots.

@TarkabarkaHolgy The best case scenario is a Hungary that is more free, less corrupt, and a better partner to the EU. Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. Good luck!
Seeing Amber Glenn toss out the first pitch at today's game was a treat, because it reminded me that you can indeed claw back a good result from a disastrous start with a little grit and also playing loose.
The Mets *aren't* going to do that, but it's nice to be reminded it's possible.

Enjoyed a visit to the FDR and Presidential Library yesterday. Was nerding out about a lot of stuff, but this first draft of his Dec 8 '41 address to Congress really stood out.
It was striking to see one of the most famous lines in American history started out as something completely unremarkable, which likely would have been forgotten.
No one gets it right on the first try, just get the idea on paper.

Radio was playing a couple tracks from the album Charles Manson recorded in 1967 and gotta say it was uniquely awful. Glad he figured out another path to getting famous because it sure as hell wasn't going to be music.

@mike_malaska@deepspace.social Where's the "I'd be mildy disappointed but still happy for science (I am US and have friends who work in the space industry so I have interest in them succeeding)" option?
