Smells like some creative maths there, Elmo. How long before SpaceX sells these back to Tesla or to X in this shell game?

SpaceX has already taken delivery of hundreds of unsold Tesla Cybertrucks and is expected to receive thousands more

Tesla Cybertrucks haven't been doing so good sales-wise, so hundreds of them have been sold to SpaceX, with more expected to be on the way

Ohhh apparently it's #PortfolioDay again!

I'm Vicky, I paint space and use genuine space dust in my original pieces!

Light pollution is such a HUGE issue, that I've made it my life's mission to bring to stars to everyone!

I dabble in astrophotography occasionally too.💜💫

Remember what an ICE agent said, when confronted about zip-tied children in the Chicago raid? 'F*ck the kids'. Those beings, and I won't call them men because real men do not brutal CHILDREN, do not care. They enjoy violence and hurting and killing. Here's a still of the cannister by the parents.

A man in sunglasses and an all dark blue outfit jogs by a mural centered in a red circle between two otters. There are wavy blue lines swirling around the otters meant to simulate water. There are drops and a pink flower slightly in view. The otters are purple and pink in color. There are beams from a bridge over the mural and concrete below.

The Wizard Nebula (Sharpless 142) in the constellation of Cepheus. This region of star formation is being energized primarily by a massive spectroscopic binary system called DH Cephei. The stars in this system are young, near the start of the main sequence and are a source of X-ray emissions. 🔭

A bright nebula of colorful gases, with a cluster of bright stars that are ionizing it. The primary star system ionizing the gases is a massive binary system named DH Cephei. Cold molecular pillars and bok globules are evident and indicative of star formation. This is the Wizard Nebula or Sharpless 142, 8500 light years distant in the constellation of Cepheus. Six hours of imaging, evenly split over SHO filters. 840mm, cropped.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Over half of Iowa's energy comes from wind power. Because of Ashley Hinson's vote to gut clean energy tax credits via the "Big Beautiful Bill," Iowans will see their utilities go up by hundreds of dollars a year and thousands of Iowa workers are at risk of losing their jobs.
