Come on man, I'm going to start exercising again any day now, I swear!
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.
The one where we all die is the good timeline, we are going for the torture nexus timeline.

Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.
Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.
I was thinking some kind of beer calisthenics but then realised that the Brad bod wouldn't support that
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?
As long as these types pay attention to what the scientists tell them and explain it to others accurately, they're helpful
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.

Certainly more than "arm chair Monday morning quarter backing"
Just because she isn't a straight engineer or scientist, doesn't make her expertise less worth it I don't think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.
It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.
Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.
However, the "salesmanship" kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.
So you're saying that science _memes should only accept memes from active practicing scientists and engineers with degrees in their own specified fields?
You might want to re-read my posts a couple of time and think about it a bit harder, if the conclusion you derived from what I wrote is that I want to gatekeep the posters.

Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.
blue check marks
Ew
Elon actually hands these out to people who don't want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from... uh, chads? There's a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she's actually paying for.
Still means she's on Twitter.
So are an insanely large amount of people.
I don’t think people on here realise that we are in an echo chamber ourselves and often times not very forgiving of people with differing opinions, where I would assume we should want to bring people to our point of view by being accepting and trying to educate on our beliefs.
So in this echo chamber of what 50K MAUs it can sometimes be hard to keep sight of the fact we are the smallest of minorities in this space and what we see is absolutely not a representation of what most people in the world care about.
I’ve never used Twitter but I’m not going to shit on other people for using it.
Were you on Reddit when they had loads of jailbait subs? Would you like to labelled as part of that same group just because you shared the same space?
Does it not seem reasonable that some people might use Twitter as a means to keep in the loop and not isolate from the crazies, Nazis, bigots or whatever. You can’t converse with the other side if you ain’t where they are at and if we all stay in our own echo chambers what are we really achieving other than a self-righteous circle jerk?
To be abundantly clear I am including myself in this too and not just calling you out. But this place is exhausting at times, I am the most cynical person I know and this place really gives me a run for my money at times. Even in the less serious stuff, like you can’t oppose Linux here you’ll be downvoted to shit for even having a different opinion. You have to use FOSS everything, and you should even be eating open source food 😂
tl;dr, but I still think displaying mild disgust at anyone who uses twitter today is the correct reaction

"What have you done that's so great other than be an arm chair Monday morning quarterback?", asked the arm chair Monday morning quarterback
Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.
Get the fuck off of xitter... it harms your credibility.
This is why I’m not on twitter, she shouldn’t have to defend herself and explain herself to that degree. People can be so toxic that on a game like marvel rivals I was absolutely dog shit at because my chat and voice chat were always visible, once I muted everything, I am suddenly reaching Gold II in a couple days. Be where you are wanted instead of jumping into the snake pit where you know exactly the opinions and beliefs of those snakes, there’s nothing to gain, fascists are fascists, what more can they build on than opinion and beliefs?
Dude should just delete his account in a form of internet Harakiri at that point.

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

Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can't you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?
Bro, you can buy the presidency of the United States if you have enough money. So yeah, not what she did, but it is completely posible.

Those Forbes lists like 30 under 30 are a joke though. Not sure why she’s bragging about that.
ngl 30 under 30 would feel way more impressive to me if i was on the list too
if I were on there I would probably brag about it to some dumbass online too
Yeah really. I read that as "got featured in the magazine known for doing cover shoots of frauds." Weird flex.
