Tbf the Forbes 30 Under 30 is a great predictor of future jail time.

[–] PlainSimpleGarak@lemmings.world 26 points 1 month ago

Yeah the rest is fine, but bragging about being featured in a magazine is kinda cringe.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Has somebody mapped that one out?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago

How dare you. Media Luminary Griffin McElroy is a saint!

[–] echo@lemmings.world 77 points 1 month ago

Get the fuck off of xitter... it harms your credibility.

Dude should just delete his account in a form of internet Harakiri at that point.

He will just tell her to make him a sandwich and the current Twitter audience will love him for that.

What does D.D. stand for? Designated dumbass?

Edit: Doctor dickhead?

[–] don@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Double dumbfuck

[–] Steve@startrek.website 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But all females have been deleted from nasa

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 10 points 1 month ago

I thought we were all female now, by law? :-P

Between the post and some of the comments, I'm pretty sure we're on the worst time.

At least, the worst surviving timeline. I'm sure plenty of "worse" timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.

This is just the worst of what's left.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The one where we all die is the good timeline, we are going for the torture nexus timeline.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Fair point.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Don't take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.

Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?

[–] Liz@midwest.social 31 points 1 month ago

Here's the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it's worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn't understand the magnitude of what he's asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 7 points 1 month ago

As long as these types pay attention to what the scientists tell them and explain it to others accurately, they're helpful

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

Certainly more than "arm chair Monday morning quarter backing"

[–] DataDisrupter@feddit.nl 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

nuked from orbit

It's the only way to be sure.

I actually know her from titkok YouTube and Instagram, she does know stuff from space! She is great to watch

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Titkok, it's some social media from China 🇹🇼

Man... I don't envy the person who has to clean up that man-shaped puddle after he just up and melted.

[–] Dark_Dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait a minute ... "Forbes 30 under 30 " ?? hmmm

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Can't be long before she's arrested for fraud.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Are any of the things she listed actually "doing science" though? Writing policy is more politics.

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You see ladies, mansplaining is a portmanteau of the words man, and explaining. Meaning a man explaining something... Actually let me back up. A portmanteau is a blending of two words in both sound and meaning.

So mansplaining... /S

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Holy shit, a lot of weirdos mad in the comments.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Silence, blue check.

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Should've just said, Google my name or something.
