This is awesome! Took me a sec to understand how to edit or just copy paste your other examples to try them out, but the overall simplicity of it is rad. Excellent little project you made

It's an absolute tragedy what this bottom feeder of a human being is doing to one of the greatest American institutes of all time, RIP NASA.

Double meaning. Coffee helps you deuce, but there is also the classic saying... Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time.

Announced by Sean Duffy, current interim administrator of NASA (the highest ranking official at the agency) who's main credentials are being a former Real World / Road Rules participant and Fox News host with a degree in Marketing.

I would like to say this is inspiring, because if this dude could become head of NASA then anyone could including me. But holy hell that is low key terrifying.

- 'The first country to have a reactor could “declare a keep-out zone which would significantly inhibit the United States,” '

So it seems less of a plan for further space exploration and more in line with a territorial grab. If it's land they want to 'own' then I've got good news for them, I am selling prime Luna real estate at a discount(low hundred millions) they can buy and even get a fancy notarized paper certificate too!

A thorough article about this dysfunctional situation, but also quite a dense long read. Could really some adjustments like an index, jump to, quotes, bullet point overviews of content, etc... Just to help make it more digestible and even shareable, but I appreciate the effort taken to create and share it nonetheless.

It's a very troubling time in America right now, especially as someone with very little means scraping by, so I was hoping for more info in this article about what the everyday person can do to help fight against this authoritarian power grab other than annoying my state's rep (who is a huge supporter of this) or protesting publicly (in a state that overwhelmingly voted for this). Of which will hopefully be in the next article as stated at the end... 'The next post will explore what specific steps you can take to bring this con to a con-clusion and save American democracy.'

And if this article speaks to you, then I recommend checking out the latest(5/18/25) 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' episode which has it's main story about this administration's attack on freedom of the press in the United States.

To me, the bottom right image has a smoother more gradual range of colors while the top right seems like the saturation is turned up a bit too high so many of the same colors blend in loosing some of those color details. Like the typical blue sky present in the top right, in the bottom right version goes from a similar vibrant blue to light purple as the sky extends to the horizon. Similarly the bottom right's foreground trees/hills details of green/tan colors pop out more more as they sit together giving you a greater sense of detail to the dense foliage.

The article doesn't really offer any alternatives to fighting fire with fire (money vs money). More like different approaches to how to use your fire money. Source talent outside of the Valley, compete in a newer market and utilize smaller governments to avoid regulations. They touch on culture at the end, but explains it only as having access to new/untapped talent to hire which is basically their first point.

I think the best way to fight monoliths and huge money pits is with your company's ideals such as share everything, privacy at all costs, don't be evil tech, focused on the best user experience/optimization/features, building an open source metaverse, etc...

As well as letting your users have a say in someway or another into what the end product is. Allowing them to be invested in how it turns out, the way it is used and whom it benefits the most. I believe this is the best way to get sticky users who are not just looking at the bottom dollar and those users become your biggest advocates helping you grow more and more.

I find it hard to believe they are having such a hard time locating what they want. Something small enough to travel with which is ONLY a clock, alarm clock and countdown timer with just a screen, battery and buttons hardware. So a basic old digital wrist watch then? Heck, maybe even one of the newer tamagotchi's meet those requirements :)
