My article about #externalisation describes the problem that responsibilities that should be dealt with from within are being put outside of ourselves, the government, multinationals, countries:
- Manufacturing outside the country.
- Victim mentality.
- Irresponsible pharmaceuticals.
- Screentime and FOMO.
- Religion to substitute consciousness.
The list goes on.
Take time for yourself. In silence your own thoughts and ideas can come through.
Smile is a brand-new space mission currently in the making. It will study how Earth responds to the solar wind and solar storms.
At the European Space Agency’s technical heart in the Netherlands, engineers have spent the last four months carrying out ‘spacecraft environment testing’ – putting Smile through its paces to make sure it is ready for the shaky rocket launch, the vacuum of space and the extreme temperatures it will face in orbit around Earth.
Now all complete, Smile is one step closer to launch in 2026.
This video provides a glimpse into the testing process. It is the third episode in a series of short videos, and includes interviews with David Agnolon (ESA Smile Project Manager), Chris Runciman (ESA Smile System Engineer), Laura Malena Lottes (ESA Smile Mechanical Engineer), Benjamin Vanoutryve (ESA Smile AIT/AIV and Launcher Interface Principal Engineer), Li Jing (CAS Smile Project Manager), He Tau (CAS Smile Mechanical Engineer) and Zhu Xiaofei (CAS Smile Thermal Engineer).
Smile (the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) is a joint mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Smile is due to launch on a European Vega-C rocket in 2026. Follow the latest mission news via _[em]esa.int/smile _.[/em]

All its parts have been built and put together. It has been wrapped in shiny gold insulating foil. Its launch is getting closer. But the Smile spacecraft had one major phase to pass before it could be certified ready for space – and it involved testing, testing and yet more testing.

I dreamed last night I was on a cruise and went on a hike. A man stopped next to me because the pathway was too narrow to let oncoming people pass. I thought hey, that’s Tom Petty, and I said “I guess ‘I’ll politely wait my turn until it’s safe to go’ isn’t as catchy a title, huh?” 🤣
This cover is dope!
Is this the new album you've been talking about? I know the band for quite some time, but never actually got into their music — probably worth giving it another try, what album would you recommend as entry point?
I've noticed this yesterday and I think it should be done as advent, knowing the task beforehand ruins part of the fun for me 😅
E.g. this one — should I use it for painting or maybe a shadow? Or maybe I should hold it for the day of orange cover — because I have a shortage of these?
Seeing the whole calendar I start rearranging the order in advance, so that I have a designated cover for each of them on day 1 😂

URGENT MUTUAL AID - $30/150
Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I am in need of some help.
I am a trans nonbinary disabled neurodivergent individual (ME/CFS) who is unable to work and I haven't been able to get disability.
I've been trying to get help for a few days now without any luck. Please read below why this is so urgent for me:
Have a sudden change of plans since I will be moving back into my apartment next week now that the remodel is finished.
We do have a heat wave coming this week, so I could use some help with groceries so I can get some cold food/shelf stable food to get through the week, cat food/cat litter, and some personal care/hygiene items. Any help is appreciated.

A Simple Fix for the Healthcare Crisis: Outlaw Insurance
Both sides in the health care debate have vested interests in screwing the pooch, so to speak, and little interest in solving the problem. Neither side ever asks, "What is the problem?"

ActivityPub is wrong, these are not emoji, not even "custom" ones.
We called them stickers even in the 1990s, so. Do.
Oh, yes, that could be true! 🤔
But I see, @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org means real-life objects that inspired them — makes sense, but for me it wasn't like that. This could also be country and language specific.
In any case — yes, for the sake of correctness, emojis are original Japanese characters, but I personally don't mind the term being used more broadly 😁

Challenge: Prove that an Epstein client list exists.
Over the last 4 years that I have been collecting and cataloging news and memes I have saved almost 60K images.
I read every charging document on Ghislaine Maxwell, and I saved every piece of evidence related to the case that I could find.
I have never seen proof that an "Epstein client list" even exists let alone that it would be trustworthy if it did.
Is there anyone that can prove it exists? I seriously doubt it.
