Humans: Let’s meetup and chat all things X for hours.
Also humans: Let the location for it be a bar or pub, with loud music by default.
I will never understand people’s inability to understand not to do this. My throat is screwed after today’s meetup. -_-
Bangalore has much better metro cards than Mumbai. Can get one on demand without submitting any documents, which also makes it private. Recharge information is printed on the card itself, with many options. Recharging via a human at a station also works. Can it get any easier than this?
New ISRO t-shirts from a47.in join the rest of the space-wear.

China lands one more time on the Moon’s farside: https://jatan.space/moon-monday-issue-178 🌗🛰️
I’m over the Moon to share that Open Lunar Foundation is continuing to be a sponsor of my Moon Monday blog+newsletter for the fourth year in a row! https://jatan.space/moon-monday-issue-178 🚀🌗
No matter how many times I select the option to deliver packages together, even if later, #Amazon keeps sending them separately, wasting so much packaging and resources. I get that fast delivery is desirable but when I’m explicitly choosing an option they provide, why not respect it? -_-

How to have the most productive Mondays ever? Just start a newsletter that announces in its name to the whole world that it will go out every Monday: https://jatan.space/tag/moon-monday 🌝
