NASA Plans Twitch Stream From ISS (theverge.com) 9
NASA is planning to host a live Twitch stream next week from the International Space Station (ISS). "The stream, which takes place on February 12th at 11:45AM ET on NASA's Twitch channel, will feature Don Pettit, an astronaut currently on the ISS, and Matt Dominick, who returned to Earth from the ISS in October," reports The Verge. From the report: The astronauts will discuss "daily life aboard the space station and the research conducted in microgravity" and viewers will be able to ask them questions, according to a blog post.
"This Twitch event from space is the first of many," Brittany Brown, director of the Office of Communications Digital and Technology Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, says in the post. "We spoke with digital creators at TwitchCon about their desire for streams designed with their communities in mind, and we listened. In addition to our spacewalks, launches, and landings, we'll host more Twitch-exclusive streams like this one."

DOGE
Every time I hear "DOGE" in reference to Trump and Musk's abomination, I can't help but think that poor Shiba Inu.. I'd say it doesn't get more ironically tragic than something that started as a lighthearted joke and ended as a department eliminating parts of the government ostensibly in the name of efficiency.
It’s really only a tragedy in your mind. Rest assured most everyone else’s attention spans forgot about that three dozen $hitcoin ICOs ago.
And anyone looking at the findings of the DOGE department as anything other than massive fraud, waste, corruption, and abuse of taxpayer dollars at this point when the low-hanging fruit still comes with multiple felonies, is helping prove how justified DOGE really is. It doesn’t get more ironically tragic thinking about just how many people are feedin

Via direct beam to a NASA ground station? Or via laser via Starlink?

Instead of placing edgy comments, you can simply go to Twitch and see that you're talking out of your ass: https://www.twitch.tv/director... [twitch.tv]
