      Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.

    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.

    Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can’t you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?

      isn’t a Forbes list the kind of list that buying your way into it proves you belong there?

      I think so. My sister has been contacted by Forbes that she can pay for a spot on the list. There was a cheaper option for just the nomination.

    Every time I hear the name Brad, I think of Brad Majors from the Rocky Horry Picture Show.

    “Hi, I’m Brad Majors!”

    “Asshole”

    Those Forbes lists like 30 under 30 are a joke though. Not sure why she’s bragging about that.

    Alexandra Doten is a science communicator and astronomy content creator who rose to fame on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic. Doten, a Vanderbilt graduate, interned at NASA for two summers and worked as a communications specialist after graduation. She later transitioned to the U.S. Space Force. Doten is known for her storytelling, which she says has inspired people to pursue careers in astronomy and space, and to invest in astrophotography equipment.

    Not to give credit to Twitter verified assholes, but comms specialist is not a specific astronomy or aerospace field.

    A former space communications specialist with NASA and later, the U.S. Space Force, today, I am an independent consultant to space organizations around the world. I write and develop brand strategies, educational presentations, speeches, and social media content.

    And I harbor some pretty strong opinions about NASA’s public and internal administration for the past 30 years.

    Two preventable shuttle disasters and a hacksaw outsourced attempt to return to the moon are not what I would consider quality projects. Modern NASA is the epitome of wasted talent.

    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?

    This verbal smack down could have been avoided had he read probably anything about her from online and didn’t only know her because she dated a Foosball player.

    oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.

    When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.
