But sure yeah put this #SpecialK Presidential Adviser in charge of #AirTrafficControl for airplanes & sure, throw in space #satellites too.

Video showed the upper stage of the most powerful rocket ever built spinning out of control in #space, a repeat of an unsuccessful test flight in January that led to debris falling over the Caribbean.

The New York Times · SpaceX’s Starship Rocket Disrupts Florida Airports With Unsuccessful Test FlightBy Kenneth Chang

In talking to neighbors and others about the unhoused individuals on our block I keep saying that everyone needs to have access to housing, and also services.Then I get pushback because people are on drugs out there.

Well, yes, people are on drugs. And some may be out there because of drug use, and others may be on drugs to cope with the horror of having to live on increasingly hostile streets.

But because someone is a drug user or has mental health issues doesn't mean that they don't deserve secure housing. This disconnect from otherwise progressive people baffles me.

Surely there is a way to get folks into housing and get them help for their issues without abandoning them to live in tents on the sidewalks and broken down car hulks being a danger to themselves and the others around them. As well as being in danger from the police and housed individuals with axes to grind.

By classifying #Abortion pills #mifepristone & #misoprostol as #ScheduleIVDrugs —a category of medicines w/potential for #DrugAbuse or #DrugDependence ( #addiction ) that includes Ambien, Valium, Xanax, & others— lawmakers in #Louisiana say they aim to curb the *illicit distribution* of the drugs. But the #FDA does not consider the 2 #medications to have any potential for abuse or dependence, & yrs of research overwhelmingly show both pills to be #safe.

A premier’s personal story behind the first #FamilyDay

"Don Getty didn’t speak much about his private life. But on the campaign trail in 1989, he often told people he and his wife knew “the private hell” of #drugabuse. “Early in the campaign he left the impression he was talking about his son,” an Edmonton Journal editorial said at the time. “He has since elaborated in his speeches, saying he knows because parents write to him.”"
