Don’t forget the copyrights that Ivanka had approved while her father was in the Oval Office.

Yeh, don't see this one talked about enough.

Yep, a good chunk are okay with the result. They just hate being embarrassed getting it.

WSJ had an Opinion piece out today about how "The Left" is still trying to make people panic about climate change. These fucking people.

Was hoping NPR would have done the same when they quit twitter

NASA TV has been a mainstay on my devices since I started cordcutting. I guess this is a rebrand of NASA-TV to NASA+, right? Either way, if you didn't know about it and like space and cool engineering things, you'll like the channel.

It wasn't much but we decided not to utilize our vacation this year travelling US 1 to the Keys because we didn't want any money flowing into FL.

Doesn't surprise me. Texans don't give a shit about human rights.

Our first amendment to our constitution gives us protections not to be arrested for unsavory speech. It's a knife that cuts in every direction. Trump couldn't just lock up AOC, willynilly, for her trashing of him on the daily.

Money in politics... It sucks

There's currently a program that is similar but not a 1:1 copy. The AmeriCorp. It's a stipend based program that you "volunteer at a nonprofit" but are paid at the end and qualify for health insurance.

Saves SA their ICC standing.

 

So, just finished reading an article on WaPo about fireflies/lightening bugs and got me thinking further... Car headlights suck. They mess up our night vision when we pass another dickhead running white/blue lights. We mess up the habit(at) of many animals/bugs. So why not red lights? My hiking/camping headlamp has a red light option, which is the only function I use, and I can see fine. Why the FUCK do we still have these ungodly bright white/blue lights?
