  • The incident, which comes less than a year after SpaceX’s “rescue” of the Boeing crew, underscores two increasingly critical issues: spaceflight systems need to be standardized to enable cross-nation rescues, and space debris is becoming impossible to ignore.

    The irony wouldn’t be lost on Reg readers if the debris that - possibly - struck Shenzhou-20 originated from a Chinese anti-satellite weapon (ASAT) test years ago.

    Oopsie daisy!












  • When trans women go on GAHT/HRT, our bodies change a lot. I’ve lost considerable muscle mass and strength versus just over a year ago (it was very noticeable in the garden this year, oof). The lack of testosterone also changes your mental state and tones down the stereotypical male competitive nature. You literally become softer.

    My personal opinion is that if you’re on hormones for at least a few years, you’ve shown that you clearly want to play and shouldn’t be disqualified, and at the very least be given a chance to participate. As far as I’m concerned, this entire thing is politically-charged and is about as interesting as acetaminophen and vaccines causing autism.

    What you don’t hear is trans men wanting to compete in men’s sports. They need to have a voice too, as rare as it might be.




  • I had one at one point, but I’m sure someone’s got a better list that’s more current. It’s also important to do your own research so you’re better informed and not just sheeping. My personal reasons for putting a company on a shit list…

    • rolled back DEI (diversity, equality, inclusion)
    • against any form of LGBTQIA+
    • support the Ukrainian war (thus supporting Ruzzia)
    • support the Gaza conflict (thus supporting Israel)
    • have any ties to Trump or related GOP/MAGA noobs
    • are against human compassion and decency
    • are immoral and/or unethical

    Other personal values you hold dear also apply, as long as you yourself aren’t checking boxes. If that’s the case, fuck you too!
