There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Brianna Wu tweeted that that she didn't want any private space missions to the moon because someone could weaponize it by throwing moon rocks to earth.

I'm also against private moon mission and space travel, but because I don't want the rich to escape to a space colony when the earth finally becomes unlivable.

Too bad, that'll happen regardless. If not space, it'll be some crazy Biosphere dome thing here on Earth. Might as well let 'em have their space house for the future of the species if nothing else.

And because it's important it should be done responsibly by a state agency. Market based space colonization would literally be a bunch of slave colonies in space. You think company towns were bad? Imagine company moons.

Down came the glitches and burned us in ditches and we slept after eating our dead.
So all the realistic estimates I have seen say the final death toll for Grenfell is gonna be around 200, possibly twice that, with most of them children. And god, every story that comes out makes the whole thing worse.

Also apparently the council is being completely useless

An awful lot of younger people were counting on having EU citizenship for the purposes of their continuing education and/or future careers, which got pulled out from underneath them.
