All my life I was fascinated with space and loved NASA.
The Orange Blight has destroyed that. I could not give less of a flying fsck what happens with Artemis, because NASA is now run by Nazis.
(One could reasonably say that NASA was run by Nazis early on with von Braun, as well, of course.)
N.b. given the authoritarian warmongers' new approach to war crimes of destroying civilian infrastructure starting with power plants (Putin, Trump in particular), distributed solar may start to be seen as a hardening and survival factor at national scale, not just individual.
Electricity is starting to become "too cheap to meter," as breathless nuclear fans predicted back in the 1950s. At certain times of day in very sunny environments, like Australia and California.
But the power is coming via solar panels from the big fusion reactor in the sky, rather than nasty uranium fission plants being used to boil water to drive turbines.
The part not too cheap to meter will remain transmission, given power company tendencies to burn down forests and towns near their lines.
J (still Hoomin): Search for 230 x 240 cm blankets.
Amazon (idiotic "AI"): Here! Dozens of 220 x 240 and 230 x 270 cm blankets!
J: I KNOW you have 230 x 240 cm blankets on the site. Refine your search.
A: No. Why would I even tell you about the items you asked about?
J: ... you could then sell one to me?
A: It is more fun to lead you a merry chase through things we will convince you to buy instead?
J: I am more Stubborn than you are!
A: Enjoy this 170 x 240 cm duvet listing!

Who wants to bet against the Orange Blight imposing 10,000% tariffs on inflatable animal costumes from China (which appears to be where they are all sourced, judging from Amazon.es) before the next No Kings event?
@stux upgraded my pledge on Patreon to Tier 1 - with all the new migrations, I expect you can use a bit more support.
