This was a really great flight. (Also, due to life generally getting in the way, it’s been a *while* since I’ve flown an airplane. When the house stuff settles down a bit I’m gonna a get back into it.)

I don’t think you can overstate how hugely popular big showy uses of force against college kids and professors and protestors are going to be with a big segment of voters. The more gratuitously violence, the more of a bump in the polls Republicans will get.

Just incredible news on reviving Voyager I.

Think of it: a computer chip 15 billion(!) miles away is broken. The solution is to repackage & move key software, w/ code sent via radio signal that takes 22+ hrs to reach that little 46yr old machine.

AND IT IS WORKING.
