Rogers in Canada has been rolling out the discontinuation of their digital cable boxes in favour of their Ignite streaming service, which is suppose to save *them* a lot of money, but is a cost increase for their customers. I was delighted to cancel them outright.

Drone video of a Chinese company's rocket landing test. Falls and explodes at the end but will likely work out the kinks soon. (VTVL = vertical takeoff, vertical landing)

Wasn't that character retconned so that

That's the role Steven Yeun was supposed to play before he dropped out apparently due to scheduling conflicts.

From the wrap party i believe... Dunk is a tall boy!

I enjoyed the show. Unfortunately, it's been cancelled. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/orphan-black-echoes-canceled-amc-1236149351/

June 21st warning about this grifter. Russian ties?

Polaris Dawn splashdown tonight some time >2AM EDT

why is your board membership number so low? is your join date also your birthdate? if so, your parents are both sweet and total dweebs.

I don't understand what Venom is saying more than half the time. I'll wait for when I can watch it with subtitles.

yep! Only for about 10 hours to complete their mission research, apogee now lowered to 730km, which is still within the VA belts. Spacewalk (beginning not long after perigee, at 231km and rising): Jared Isaacman Sarah Gillis's spacewalk:

1400km Apogee achieved:

Tonight! Aboard the Polaris Dawn mission, Jared Isaacman and Sarah Gillis will be exiting the Dragon capsule for a spacewalk at Thursday, September 12th, from approx. 2:00 a.m. EDT. new time: 5:58am EDT. (stream to begin 4:55am)

There's no going back for the GOP to the Reagan era party according this this long time Republican strategist, Sarah Longwell, founder of Republican Voters Against Trump. She describes the three different kinds of Republicans voting for Harris. Hour long video but the host is Dem Party lawyer Mark Elias, who has been coordinating and winning against GOP attempts to do all sorts of electoral lawfare all over the U.S., so well worth the discussion on both sides. It's interesting she says that some of the loudest people that was against Biden leaving the race are these Never-Trumpers.

Kamala Ali rope-a-doped him. I need a Howard Cosell voice over to the highlights reel. "Ooo a shot right to the kidneys! Another to the spleen! Oh my god, she caved his head in!"

O'Donnell must be a Swiftie then, they're all into that numerology stuff. Here's Walz hearing about the endorsement

Pills must be taking a while to kick in.

Polaris Dawn launched! Thus begins a 5 day mission with a crew of 4 private astronauts that will include the highest orbit of Earth ever, use the SpaceX EVA suits for the first private astronaut spacewalk, and first passage through the Van Allen belts since Apollo 17 in 1972. In about 8 orbits the Dragon will be boosted to an 870 mile (1400 km) apogee, and will establish the record for furthest distance any women (in this case two) has been from Earth until Artemis flybys of the moon begin. Comms provided by Starlink, so the potential for 4K quality video is there. They'll be raising money once again for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. They'll also be studying decompression sickness, gathering info on the radiation environment and its biological effects, and studying ocular changes due to microgravity. Launch, Booster Landing, and Dragon separation from the upper stage of Falcon 9:

What's odd is there is a secret project listed as Untitled Sony/Marvel (Live Action) movie that is suppose to come to theatres in June 2025. Plus Tom Holland mentioned on instagram he's currently filming a secret project. If that's the same thing, it can't be Spiderman 4. I doubt it's a cameo for Beyond The Spiderverse since that is looking to be a 2026 date at the earliest. Most likely is the June 2025 date is way outdated. I was going to speculate about a Spiderman rogues gallery team-up movie with Holland as a cameo, so that Spiderman could lead a team (Black Cat? Spider-Gwen?) on Battleworld in Avengers: Secret Wars, but I've convinced myself the date is just old information. Holland's secret project likely not MCU related.

The claim here is apparently it's a fake mine used to mark the beach area.
