Come on man, I'm going to start exercising again any day now, I swear!
Between the post and some of the comments, I'm pretty sure we're on the worst time.
At least, the worst surviving timeline. I'm sure plenty of "worse" timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.
This is just the worst of what's left.
The one where we all die is the good timeline, we are going for the torture nexus timeline.
Fair point.
This is why I’m not on twitter, she shouldn’t have to defend herself and explain herself to that degree. People can be so toxic that on a game like marvel rivals I was absolutely dog shit at because my chat and voice chat were always visible, once I muted everything, I am suddenly reaching Gold II in a couple days. Be where you are wanted instead of jumping into the snake pit where you know exactly the opinions and beliefs of those snakes, there’s nothing to gain, fascists are fascists, what more can they build on than opinion and beliefs?
Don't take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.
Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?
As long as these types pay attention to what the scientists tell them and explain it to others accurately, they're helpful
Certainly more than "arm chair Monday morning quarter backing"
Here's the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it's worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn't understand the magnitude of what he's asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.
Just because she isn't a straight engineer or scientist, doesn't make her expertise less worth it I don't think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.
It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.
Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.
However, the "salesmanship" kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.
So you're saying that science _memes should only accept memes from active practicing scientists and engineers with degrees in their own specified fields?
You might want to re-read my posts a couple of time and think about it a bit harder, if the conclusion you derived from what I wrote is that I want to gatekeep the posters.
No need to be rude. Here, since I'm so simple minded and dumb I'll try to convey as best as I can to one such as yourself. You're saying she's an expert in advocacy (how does one become an expert in that?) and politics.. or maybe showmanship?, it doesn't make her an expert in space programs. We should celebrate those people less, and feature actual scientists and engineers more. What I'm saying is that would be a narrow band if we just include people who's job titles are scientists and engineers, because we are assuming other people in similar expertise fields would not know the original tweets context. If that is off base, my deepest apologies.

Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.
Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.
I was thinking some kind of beer calisthenics but then realised that the Brad bod wouldn't support that
Those Forbes lists like 30 under 30 are a joke though. Not sure why she’s bragging about that.
if I were on there I would probably brag about it to some dumbass online too
ngl 30 under 30 would feel way more impressive to me if i was on the list too
Yeah really. I read that as "got featured in the magazine known for doing cover shoots of frauds." Weird flex.
Coming from someone who's never been on the 30 under 30
Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.
Man... I don't envy the person who has to clean up that man-shaped puddle after he just up and melted.
"man"
yes? a common exclamation of frustration. your point?
I think they were referring to "man shaped puddle", when the picture is more of a puddle shaped puddle.
🤣
"What have you done that's so great other than be an arm chair Monday morning quarterback?", asked the arm chair Monday morning quarterback
Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.
Wait a minute ... "Forbes 30 under 30 " ?? hmmm
Can't be long before she's arrested for fraud.
oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.
When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.
