Today we're sending the first black person & the first woman to the moon.
But I know that Dr. Mae Jemson was the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mae_Jemison
Also, Jemson became the first real-life astronaut to appear on #StarTrek
Here's Jemson as Lt. Palmer in #StarTrekTNG episode Second Chances talking to Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, outside the set.

first, this is so cool. I'm impressed that you were able to find the photo on a CD from 30 years ago. You must have a much better archiving system than I do. My archiving system is, "I think it's in one of those piles in The Box by the window." And if it's on my computer it is "I think it's in the folder labeled Scans, but I don't know what year."

First of all, I want you to know that I own Spam Nation in hard cover. Great book.
Secondly, I train tech execs for TV appearances, panel sessions, shareholder meetings & product launches. One of the things I try to do is prepare them for the experience to make them less nervous. I set up lights, & bring in a former TV host so they can practice with. But I had never thought about having a big name pop into the green room to prep for that.

Remember lying on the floor reading? I read science fiction and went to other worlds in my mind.
My first was The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet written by Eleanor Cameron in 1954.
It's set in Pacific Grove California & on Basidium, a tiny habitable moon of Earth, invisible from the planet in its orbit 50,000 miles away.
I need to get back to those worlds.

#ICE broke a 79 year old American business owner's ribs & inflicted head trauma as he tried to show them his workers’ paperwork at his LA car wash. He's suing for $50 million dollars.

I encourage civil lawsuits under #Trump because it allows the victims' lawyers to get discovery & talk about the case to the media vs criminal cases where prosecutors NORMALLY don't talk publicly before or after a case.

PORTLAND (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s latest use of the military against US citizens backfired spectacularly on Saturday after Federal troops arrived in Portland, Oregon and immediately formed indie bands.

This is a GREAT video about why farmers voted for Trump. It REALLY opened my eyes. @npub17v8…nhln describes, with evidence, that the farmers of today KNEW what Trump was going to do (Trade war) & voted for him anyway. They expect free money.
They wanted cuts in environmental regulations, & got them.
They aren't Farm workers, they're FARM OWNERS, more like landed GENTRY.
They got lax labor rules.
They're MULTIMILLIONAIRES, & Trump gave them huge tax breaks.

"During his monologue on Monday night, Kimmel raised the possibility that Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the killing, might have been a pro-Trump Republican."

In 1977 my parents got me a watch with red LED lights. It was expensive, but cool. I lost it somewhere when the band broke.
(Here is a photo of a LED watch that was like mine.)
I could track down the original, to find out how much it cost at the time. I have an idea, but I'm not certain of the brand. I DID find a fascinating article about the rise and fall of LED WATCHES & the rise of the LCD watches.

I like this one because it shows how just showing the image of Trump leads to audio of people booing. Also, the text tells people watching with the sound off that #Trump is being booed.

The Safeway in my neighborhood no longer carries the chocolate flavor of Oatly, a vegan brand.
I get it that there is only so much space, but they don't carry chocolate in ANY other vegan ice cream brand.
I've talked to management before & the national distributor. They offered it for a while, then stopped. I'm guessing it has to do with not enough kickbacks for shelving space from Oatly to Safeway.

I'm buying apples at my local produce market & saw they had on a Spanish speaking station with extensive coverage of the #ICE raids.
I don't speak Spanish, but I saw multiple videos of brutal arrests. That had an impact on me, maybe other customers too.
Since most of our produce is picked by immigrant labor, showing customers this is a smart move, esp since most of us are in our news & social media bubbles.
I asked clerk what station, she said it was Telamundo.

Nebraskans asked Rep Mike Flood great questions about his vote to cut Medicaid at his recent Town Hall.
They verbally disagreed with him when he gave a BS answer. They booed when he changed the topic to lie about who was losing Medicaid.
One of Flood's constituents, who had asked him a question, was on Jen Psaki's show. She reiterated her question & pointed out Flood's lame response. It was great.
Then CNN's Jake Tapper had on Flood who reiterated his lies, with no pushback from Tapper.
