I had 3 hours straight of back-to-back intense meetings on various aspects of satellites destroying astronomy with different groups of people. This dishcloth I knitted during the meetings expresses my sentiment perfectly.
@sundogplanets ... I love productive meetings...
@sundogplanets you can sell them on etsy and probably retire
You are taking the words right out of my mouth…
@sundogplanets I have uncontrollable anxiety. And I do NOT like meetings. In fact, in departments I've ran, I've put a moratorium on them. But sometimes you have to. And I do knot work, to alleviate it, and I've always got a few pieces of rope I'm messing with. But once, this dude is like "I don't think this meeting is going well" why? "Because the lead engineer is over there tying a noose" Yes. But it was a nice noose.
@sundogplanets Knitting and astronomy immediately reminded me of
@astro_geo !
Wondered if there could be perhaps an update episode on satellites at some point? ^^
I think you should place this masterful hand-crafted artefact in the far back reaches of a dry desert cave, so that future archeologists can decipher the zeitgeist of our age.
Also: Fuck you, SpaceX. Again.
(Yes, this is IN ADDITION to the 42,000 they're already approved for, and the ONE MILLION they asked for in February)
@sundogplanets Im so starting to feel a bit claustrophobic due to 2- not one ai datacenter trying to hyper scale near me , satellites, and the the amount of bullshit in general is just plain toxic and kind of traumatic....say hi to the goats for me!
@sundogplanets I’m pretty sure this feckless fuck will also be stealing peoples processing power for his CSAM generator via his network.
@sundogplanets can I see the dishcloth again?
I guess they look at their stock price not going up, despite the push a few days ago from becoming part of some major indiced, and now they seem worried that people see the emperor actually being naked.
So why not throw in some PR with more space word salad and a big number?
