@rbreich I hate to blame the messenger, but when many of the messengers are just conduits to amplify the lies of the shiftiest crooks, and can't acknowledge an objective difference between right & wrong, they need to shoulder a good part of the blame.

Just 5 years after its first launch, the Starlink constellation is profitable

@arstechnica Yikes - fascinating and somewhat gruesome at the same time. Hope it ends up in a natural history museum rather than get installed in a kitchen.
