SWA still holding the record for our calamitous colossal meltdown in 2022!
We lost nearly $1b total because of that shit-show.
Thanks be, our executives still got their end of the year bonuses and stock buybacks went on as scheduled while the labor groups were told, “profit-sharing will be half the previous year.”
Cunts.

And not the original, but, Morrissey version.
ETA This is Crosby at the end:
Oh, how is it that I could come out to here and be STIIIIIILLL floatin
I had no clue there was a morrissey version. That’s frightening.
The only two musicians of note from Connecticut are Charles Ives and Laura nyro. Kris doesn’t much like Charles Ives, so I listened to Laura nyro songs a lot when we were driving around Connecticut. I decided that Marylin Mccoo pronouncing “Bill” at the start of Wedding Bell Blues for the Fifth Dimension was possibly as achingly beautiful as any music I’ve ever heard. I don’t think morrissey could do better.

I’ll happily listen to him play guitar, but whoever told him he’s a songwriter needs their ass kicked.
I’ve been told that Michael Bolton is from Connecticut. And the Carpenters.
Neither one is any Charles Ives.
Which one? The software programmer or the no talent ass clown?

Yesterday, SpaceX caught the booster but lost the Starship, which is probably not the best way round. The debris from the important part scattered over the Caribbean and caused chaos with commercial flights in the region that were forced to divert or go into holding patterns:
This debris issue is a result of Cissy SpaceX insisting on his rockets being made out of stainless steel, which means that the bits of it when it goes wrong are a danger to anyone in its path. Plus ça change…

Get your astronomy nerd on tonight. Gorgeous view of Venus next to a crescent moon. Go outside. You can’t miss it.
Saturn and Neptune are also prominently visible.

Spent some time staring at it after dinner. Stunning.
There’s an asteroid with a course that gives it a 1.5% chance of hitting Earth. If this were to occur, it would be on December 22, 2032.
The asteroid 2024 YR4 is big, but it’s certainly no dinosaur killer. It could cause considerable localized damage were it to impact a populated area.
Do we get a vote on that?
