What does it take to see this?

Decades of dreamers, inventors, scientists and artists working together to create a labor of love: a telescope capable of peering deep into the universe and back through time. 

The James Webb Space Telescope has allowed us to see the earliest galaxies, the auroras and rings on our gas giants, and even detect clouds on planets far beyond our solar system, all because a group of dreamers looked at the universe with curiosity. 

Witness the incredible story of Webb’s journey – from an impossible idea to a scientific marvel – all through the eyes of the people who made it possible in our new documentary. Cosmic Dawn is streaming now on NASA+.

i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet

Don't feed the trolls

Never give out personal information

Anonymity is the best defense

Don't click suspicious links

Don't click popups and ads

Just because it's written doesn't mean it's true

You are responsible for your own experience

There is porn of everything, act accordingly

ever feel like the game is rigged? (it is)

You ever just stare at your bank account and think… how?

Like, you’re doing the work. You’re grinding. You have the degree, you have the two jobs, you have the side hustle that’s supposed to be your “passion project” but is really just your “pay the electricity bill” project.

And you’re still broke.

The advice you get is always the same. “Stop buying coffee.” “Be better with money.”

It’s exhausting. And it’s a lie.

Your financial anxiety isn’t a personal failure. It’s a ghost haunting you from an era of big hair and neon leg warmers.

Let’s talk about the 80s.

Back then, a new idea took over America: Reaganomics.

The simple version? Cut taxes for the super-rich and giant corporations. The promise was that the money would “trickle down” to the rest of us.

It didn't trickle. It evaporated on its way down.

What actually happened was that wealth got sucked upwards, into a vacuum. The people at the top got richer than ever, while wages for normal people just… stopped. For forty years.

They dismantled the idea that if you work hard, you get a fair slice of the pie. They rewrote the rules to make sure the house (aka the 1%) always wins.

So, how does that connect to your empty wallet right now?

Those policies created the perfect playground for the next monster to evolve:

The Algorithm.

The gig economy. The freelance hustle. The warehouse job where a computer tracks your bathroom breaks. The delivery app that nudges your pay down, penny by penny.

That’s the ghost of the 80s wearing a tech-bro hoodie.

The system was already designed to squeeze workers. Technology just made it a thousand times more efficient.

It’s a one-two punch:

The Legacy: A system designed to funnel wealth to the top.

The Curse: An algorithm designed to automate that process.

You’re not failing a fair game. You’re playing a rigged one, and the code was written decades ago. It’s not your fault you’re tired. You were designed to be.

There’s no future without a reasoned and nuanced approach to software, AI, and drones from the left within the context of the information age. If we don’t account for these things, we are completely and totally fucked.
