Sunshine after a brush with snow set the tone for a free-ranging ride that starts local and climbs straight into orbit. We celebrate 25 years of continuous life aboard the International Space Station, tip our caps to Mir’s overlooked legacy, and swap stories about chasing auroras sparked by double CMEs. A quick quake roundup keeps us grounded, while a candid update on an AI hosting glitch and a chaotic schedule shows the real-life mess behind making a weekly, value-for-value show.
Then comes the hinge: China’s new rule that influencers must prove credentials to speak on medicine, law, education, or finance. It sounds like public safety. It feels like narrative control. We unpack how “misinformation” becomes a lever for centralizing authority, why badges can inform but shouldn’t silence, and how free societies risk copying the same playbook under friendlier branding. Expect clear definitions, tough questions, and a practical case for personal agency—turning off bad speech rather than outlawing it.
To cool things down, we share the unexpected joy of the Supernatural official cookbook, savor the latest Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and peek at a newly unveiled humanoid robot slated to greet customers in 2026. We wrap with nerdy audio talk: new drive, fresh installs, Audacity quirks, and the endless hunt for cleaner sound. If you value open access, curious conversation, and a show that says the quiet part out loud, you’re in the right feed. Tap follow, share with a friend, and leave a review to keep this conversation wide open.
