I have team members now who I don't see except for once a week or once every two weeks that spend their time just working on seriously cool stuff -- it feels like I've containerized my brain full of ideas & have spun up multi-threads, except wider skills than I alone possess.

As @nasa works toward a permanent presence on the Moon, the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, announced #OTD in 2018, is a vital part of the plan. Through CLPS, companies competitively bid to bring experiments and supplies to the Moon! https://go.nasa.gov/3ASxubU

It is amazing how many times I get distracted from doing @apievangelist then get back to it and go "Oh yeah, this is why I do this.". It is just a nourishing learning process for me. It is how I learn.

“Inadequate audits or those without clear standards provide false assurance of compliance with norms and laws, ‘audit-washing’ problematic or illegal practices. Like green-washing and ethics-washing before, the audited entity can claim credit without doing the work.”

I was helping make people aware that @audrey is on Mastodon, but then she asked me how long did I think it would be before she kicked my ass with followers like she did on Twitter. I've stopped referring people.

Was just reading Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”) https://ar.al/2022/11/09/is-the-fediverse-about-to-get-fryed-or-why-every-toot-is-also-a-potential-denial-of-service-attack/ and felt like Aral's icon stack is the future.

A 1937 poster demonizing jaywalking. In the early 20th century, it became clear that the proliferation of cars was dangerous for pedestrians. In order to make city streets easier for drivers to navigate, auto companies invented the crime of "jaywalking" ("jay was slang for "fool") in order to get pedestrians out of the streets. It was successful. Soon, after streets went from being places of commerce and communication to the domain of automobiles.
