Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics

@sundogplanets If the political classes want to normalize the existence of billionaires, then we deserve at least to normalize all the expletives we need to describe these rapacious fucknozzles.

@sundogplanets not to mention the RF spectrum pollution which affects radio astronomy projects like the SKA and radio spectrum users across the planet.

@sundogplanets

Ahhhh, I am (and clearly all of us are) so very proud of you!

This should be 2026's word of the year.

[thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io]

@sundogplanets I’ll allow it

(Thanks for fighting this insanity!)

@scott @sundogplanets

I'm on our schools #DAPTCO (Departmental Appointments, Promotions and Tenure Committee ) and I would adamantly support your promotion!

Also this is one of the saddest things I've ever read;

"The Starlink Mini's in-motion capability meant data punched through the tree cover and canyon walls without issue. My wife streamed music, and the kids watched Netflix on their tablets, completely oblivious to the fact that we were digitally isolated from the rest of the world. It turned a potentially cranky long haul into a peaceful drive."

So The Fuckweasel Musk (TFM) isolated your family from one another inside your own car and convinced you that that's a good thing? Fucking pathetic. Talk with your kids, point out cool geology, trees, birds whatever. INTERACT WITH THE WORLD!

Sorry. That article pissed me off a tad.

Well, actually, that's what weasels do!

@sundogplanets now we can refer to it as an academically respected word. Excellent!

[flicka@ohai.social]

@sundogplanets congratulations!

@sundogplanets

Cursing and name-calling used to be considered childish and uncivilized. Public figures like Elon Musk have made being 'unserious' and uncivilized mainstream.

When a professor of astronomy is celebrated for calling Musk dirty names, it’s clear that Musk has already won the culture war. He is in our hearts and minds.

@sundogplanets I love a dynamic language - a word entirely new to me (and others?) but get the meaning instantly

@davidtheeviloverlord @sundogplanets "if the weasel fucks..."

@sundogplanets You're telling it like it is.
