Why did this need to be a thread of multiple tweets? Shouldn't Twitter utilize their amazing innovative long-form text post feature instead?

Even they know long form tweets are stupid lol

I remember an interview from way back when with Chuck D where he was giggling about the fact that some people didn’t realize Public Enemy was political. Same deal with RatM. It takes a special kind of Paul Ryan-stupid to enjoy that music and just ignore the context and meaning behind it.

Finally catching up with the bill Maher interview and good lord it's just infuriating to watch.

Elon just giggling like an idiot the whole time, bill kissing his rear end the whole time and the audience going wild for no reason at random times.

No real questions being asked, just a 10 minute circle jerk of talking but saying nothing

quote:

In an April 26 statement to SpaceNews, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said it documented impacts from the April 20 Starship integrated test flight that lifted off from Boca Chica, Texas, to the neighboring Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. That documentation started after the highway leading to both the launch site and refuge, closed due to what the agency called “launch pad safety concerns,” opened two days after the flight.

The biggest impact was debris from the launch pad that was damaged by the thrust from the Super Heavy booster. “Impacts from the launch include numerous large concrete chunks, stainless steel sheets, metal and other objects hurled thousands of feet away” from the pad, the Fish and Wildlife Service states.

It also cited “a plume cloud of pulverized concrete that deposited material up to 6.5 miles northwest of the pad site.” Residents of Port Isabel, Texas, a town northwest of the launch site, reported finding a fine layer of sand-like material after the launch.

No debris was found on lands belonging to the refuge itself, but the agency said debris was spread out over 385 acres belonging to SpaceX and Boca Chica State Park. A fire covering 3.5 acres also started south of the pad on state park land, but the Fish and Wildlife Service didn’t state what caused the fire or how long it burned.

There was no evidence, though, that the launch and debris it created harmed wildlife. “At this time, no dead birds or wildlife have been found on refuge-owned or managed lands,” the agency said.

Where did they even deploy the blackbird? Or is that all still classified?

E - I could look that up, but I'm gonna let someone else

That is a good question I've never thought of either. Looked it up real quick and here we go

While the SR-71 began its career in Asia, its reach would become global—gathering intelligence on targets in America’s backyard (Cuba, Nicaragua), as well as in the Middle East (during the 1973 Yom Kippur War and its aftermath, and at Benina Airfield in Libya after the 1986 El Dorado Canyon raid).
