isn't Shatner a chud these days? i wonder if his Pale Blue Dot moment there might have undone some of the brain damage.

a year or two ago, whoever was tweeting on his behalf was toeing the line of chuddom but I guess not anymore

i mean, there's a reason he is nonetheless beloved by multiple generations, the guy is good at what he does. but he is an absolutely shameless self-promoter and will not hesitate to take credit for any kind of success even if he is only tangentially involved with whatever it is. this includes leonard nemoy's will to live, for example

the 8chan one apparently costs $5/mo
that's right, a text to image service run by 8chan that you have to give payment information to

a reminder that Ron Watkins held a conference open to the public to examine the source code to some voting machine, and was quite literally stumped at having to use Powershell and resorted to asking randos in the audience and watching online if they understood what the source code being displayed meant, and how to use said Powershell.

elon can't even definitively articulate why he thinks its bad lol

he definitely just wants them to stop so he can try to catch up while making himself seem empathetic in the process (you can, of course, drop "em" from that word)

Shatner has been a weapons-grade egomaniac for longer than anyone else reading these words have been alive. However, you really need someone with that insanely-overinflated sense of hubris to be facing the inevitability of their own death to get the kind of truly deep introspection into mortality.

I think the whole thing is more an indication of how much being a billionaire totally breaks your connection to humanity. even Shatner gets blindsided by the Overview Effect but Bezos is completely and totally immune because the only thing that could shake him is a blank mirror.

wikipedia says the capsule’s apogee was 107km which meets the old nasa definition of 80 km and the international karman line at 100km so he should count. John Glenn was 77. but he was an astronaut and shatner is not so that’s a complicating wrinkle I guess

afaict they seem to be the same as the commercial offerings. so thats free (for a pretty much useless amount for academics), $100/mo (for again a probably useless amount) and $10,000/mo

at minimum, shatner is surely the least fit in the bracket. like two glenns in one speedsuit and dozens of glenns in aortic hardening
