Micky Ds won't give him a peace prize, but I would bet the "McRib is Back" is strategic.

We are now more than a decade past the first news story I ever wrote about cryptocurrency‘s major use case as a currency being crime.

BAN #275: Telescope buying advice, Book: It’s Alive, Dial-A-Moon 2021 30 November 2020 Issue #271

I am often asked: What is the best telescope to buy for someone just getting into astronomy?

🪐🔭👀

As a theorist, I am absolutely useless and can tell you nothing. HOWEVER, my friend the wonderful @philplait.bsky.social is NOT useless and has great advice & relevant links here! ⤵️

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.

Either way, never trust them again.

If your first reaction to someone having their legs run over by an ICE vehicle is “was he here illegally” then you’ve completely lost your moral compass

The same goes for asking what the “whole story” is

There’s nothing a person could do to justify running them over with a car.

A still from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Gul Dukat is sitting in Sisko's chair, drinking kanar and acting like he owns the place. (Dukat is a Cardassian, a kind of grey alien with bony ridges on their face and neck.) Caption: "... is s there a single statue of me on Bajor?"

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”

Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Old enough so that when I heard about Netflix buying WB my first thought was: "That could have been Blockbuster"

If you could get rid of one of these, but at the cost of doubling the other.

Which do you pick?

Why is anyone still on X? Seriously.

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

In this segment, Senator Schmitt insists he knows nothing about a major scandal, goes on an extended rant filled with lies and smears, insults Stephanopolous and his show directly, and is generally a preening asshole.

Yet I’m sure they’ll welcome him back for more.

Loving war crimes is not a sustainable policy in a democracy

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

What Senator Cotton says here would be a bad defense for the Germans convicted in WWI and WWII war crimes trials -- including for firing on shipwrecked in fully operational lifeboats.

This line of response hurts the US and US servicemembers. It will cause long-term damage unless we get this right.

WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

TOM COTTON: They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat. They weren't floating helplessly in the water

The fact they can assert "we saw them sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat" means the leadership had good and clear battlefield information/visibility. Those deaths were not due to the "fog of war", that was "intention to kill them all", AKA murder.

Congrats again to the coastal Democratic elites who told us this guy was a credible Treasury Secretary simply because he went to the right schools & cocktail parties

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

This list is great. I went through it and was a little ashamed that I was unaware of aftermath.site #pcgaming

Marisa's list is definitely worth taking a look at and the @aftermath.site site is amazing.

Thanks Marisa.

This story reminded me I need to reread Andy Greenberg's @agreenberg.bsky.social excellent book "Tracers in the Dark". andygreenberg.net
