When political adversaries become friends.
The demonization of people with whom you disagree in good faith is one of the more depressing aspects of modern life. I follow a lot of science writers on Twitter (many of them women), but I avoid discussion of politics with them, based on their political tweets. It’s one of the reasons I have separate accounts for space/sci/tech and my general commentary.

A few years ago on Twitter, one of these female science writers was doing an article on women writers in in the field and how oppressed they are. She knew of a few fellow female writers but asked Twitter for more suggestions. There was a torrent of replies.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of science writers are female and that they are not as oppressed as the Twitterati claim them to be.
Was able to see the Falcon 9 launch from Tampa this time. We’ll try to catch a launch at the Cape next year for the kids.
