OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.

SPACE: ‘Guess I’ll be waiting a minute to surf again’: Artemis 2 moon astronaut Christina Koch shares her recovery journey. “A week after her historic moon mission ended, NASA astronaut Christina Koch struggled to walk in a straight line during a blindfold test. After posting a video showing her wobbling and nearly tipping over — nearly enough, in fact, that attendants jumped in ready to help — Artemis 2’s Koch joked about her recovery on Instagram: ‘Guess I’ll be waiting a minute to surf again.'”

FACT-CHECKING SOCIAL MEDIA CLAIMS LINKING HAIR DYEING TO MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS:

Many people change aspects of themselves to fit in or stand out, and sometimes even as a coping mechanism during stressful times in their lives.

These changes are often seen in how people style their clothes, play with new makeup trends, or dye their hair.

Online platforms such as Instagram and TikTok are filled with posts about dyeing hair—especially unnatural colours.

On Instagram, there are posts about how unnatural hair dyeing can be linked to mental illnesses.

And TikTok is filled with stories about how dyeing your hair is related to “having a mental breakdown.”

These trends have grown in popularity since 2019, becoming popular during the pandemic.

But is there a link between mental well-being and hair colouring?

Well, based on anecdotal evidence…

Lee Zeldin TRIGGERS Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro By Exposing Her For Not Knowing Basic Supreme Court Cases

UPDATE:

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was… pic.twitter.com/6HTgVjQCiE

MORE: “Zeldin told DeLauro that people should not drink or inject glyphosate, the active ingredient in pesticides such as Roundup, to which she responded, ‘Maybe you should try doing that.’ She then quickly added, ‘Excuse me,’ in an apologetic tone.” That’s not much of an “apologetic tone” on display here, so why is Bloomberg.com covering for a Democratic congresswoman suggesting that the head of the EPA kill himself, only a couple of days after someone from her party tried to kill Zeldin’s boss? To ask the question is to answer it:

When you don’t have anything good to say, some advise to just not say anything at all. As for @rosadelauro, she apparently believes that when you don’t have anything good to say, you should instruct the person you are debating to kill themself. https://t.co/E5bwHhfSxt pic.twitter.com/AW9rFP0Fzc

KRUISER ON FIRE: If You Can’t Say Something Nice About Someone, You Must Be Talking About a Democrat. “Please bear in mind as you read this column that I took several breaths and hours before writing it because I wanted to bring down my internal rage temperature by several degrees. My reserves of Christian charity are, for the moment, completely tapped, and I apologize for that. This is what passes for calm here in the Kruiser Bunker this week.”

TEACH WOMEN NOT TO RAPE! (CONT’D): A Kiss Exposed Her Crimes. Now Teacher Pleads Guilty to Abusing 2 Students. They let her off pretty light, though.

In exchange for her guilty plea to the two counts, prosecutors dismissed two counts of sexual assault against a child she was also facing, the district attorney’s office said.

Prosecutors have recommended that Lashombe be placed on deferred probation and fined $1,000.

She was facing up to 40 years in prison before she entered into the plea deal with prosecutors.

I very much doubt a male teacher would have gotten this deal.

THE FUTURE OF Autonomous Motoring.

BYO2: NASA Planning to Set First-Ever Fire on the Surface of the Moon.

As part of an experiment appropriately dubbed Flammability of Materials on the Moon (FM2), the researchers are looking to challenge a standardized test, known as NASA-STD-6001B, which involves holding a six-inch flame to a material to evaluate its safety. If it burns more than six inches up or drips burning debris, it fails the test. The standard is required for the “evaluation, testing, and selection of materials that are intended for use in space vehicles and associated Ground Support Equipment,” according to NASA.

But there’s one glaring problem, as the scientists point out in their latest mission outline: the test is “conducted in normal Earth gravity, with the assumption that if a material passes the 1G test, then it is considered safe for spaceflight.”

However, the partial gravity on the lunar surface could throw our understanding of fire for a loop once again — a crucial question scientists are racing to understand, as an open fire inside a lunar habitat, let alone the tight confines of a spacecraft, could easily prove disastrous.

But the testing ought to be a blast.

CUE THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE LEFT’S WOMEN: Gov. Ron DeSantis unveils proposed new Florida congressional map giving GOP four extra seats. “Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we’ve been fighting for fair representation ever since,” DeSantis said in a statement to Fox News Digital, which first reported on the new map. “Our population has since grown dramatically, and we have moved from a Democrat majority to a 1.5 million Republican advantage. Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited.”
