    The challenge of celebrating Artemis II as NASA cuts loom
    "
    "NASA has just sent astronauts back to the Moon for the first time since 1972 w. Artemis II. So why would we cut NASA and NSF science now?"

    ".. US ..released their proposed FY2027 budget, + it’s a bloodbath for NASA science + the NSF: cutting the science budget by 50% in the country."

    "Here’s why these proposed cuts must be overruled."

  6. "In 1970, political theorist Giovanni Sartori described this drift of meaning as “conceptual stretching.” Sartori argued that it occurs when words or phrases move too far from the conditions that originally anchored them. They become gradually devalued, retaining their emotional and moral charge while losing clarity. In everyday use, “narcissist” moved from a clinical diagnosis to a sort of lifestyle judgment, yet it retains the moral seriousness — and social stigma — that we often associate with a mental health disorder."

  16. for someone who thinks anything longer than 10mins on youtube is too long, i started this (by mistake—thought it’s only 10mins)…and finished it. although there’re many points i’m already aware of, it’s the way he puts them together, also in the way he speaks and how he expresses with his face, that makes you listen and want to (re)learn. watch: what 85 years of #research says is the real key to #happiness by #robertwaldinger on #bigthink. #thegoodlife #happy #living #life youtu.be/_CxmzkYPvsg
