NEW 🧵starts HERE.

Plz remember to use NFL (Not For Laffy, no hashtag) so I can ignore those replies while live-posting. TY!

1/... Tyler McBrien:

It's 2:09 p.m., Trump walks in with his defense team in tow.

Alan Dershowitz is still here as well.

All five members of the prosecution are already seated.

It would seem that the way this has gone down may also add to the perception of importance to the CSPAN images. Another misstep by the defense?

NFL - Really do not see how this helps the defense at all.

scary lawyerguy:

Of the many double standards employed by the media, Biden needing every speech to be some combination of Lincoln and Cicero while Trump's public appearances are 90 minutes of word salad, non sequiturs, and dictatorial musings that get no push back, is among the worst.

@michelemccarthy

This is such a smart take. If Biden put on foot wrong they will be all over him, meanwhile Trump is a raving lunatic and the ignore his daily meltdowns and 'summarize' his nonsense adding coherence to it.

@gentrifiedrose @michelemccarthy

This is BS. Did you watch the State of the Union? Biden is a superb public speaker. He stumbles over words occasionally stemming from a mild stutter, but the substance of his speeches is solid and the policies he advocates are substantive. There is no comparison.

So now SpaceX, with no working spacesuit, and years behind on it's multi-billion dollar moon lander, is lobbying NASA to go to the Hubble Space Telescope.

"A successful private mission could improve Hubble's ability to point at celestial objects and, by boosting its orbit, extend its life by years... however, an accident could leave the multibillion-dollar telescope broken — or, even more tragically, tethered to the dead bodies of the astronauts sent to repair it."

Sort of like dumping sewage into the ocean or emitting smoke from smokestacks can't possibly affect the water or air because the oceans are so big and the atmosphere so vast.

@benjaminherrin @siracusa

Your inexpert opinion on these matters directly contradicts that of the professional astronomy and climate science communities, so perhaps it would be a good idea to do some research into the matter before misinforming people on social media.

Further, it is true that Starlink affords some benefits, what is at issue is at what cost?

@benjaminherrin @siracusa

Space nerd does not equal professional astronomer. It would be helpful to your arguement to cite some experts in the field who say that satellite tracks are not a problem for their work, and that another ten fold increase is such interference is something manageable.

@benjaminherrin

Did you read these articles, or just go by the headline. Both discuss the problem and imperfect/difficult ways to reduce the impact of the problem. Particularly severe is the impact on Vera Rubin.

More discussion of the problem here:https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/satellite-constellations-are-an-existential-threat-for-astronomy/

Glad that there are people working to salvage something from these corrupted images, but to claim there are professional astronomers saying it is not a problem is false.

Fine. Agree that this is an unproductive conversation and acknowledge your opinion.
