A real life astronomer just gave you the simple, factual answer to the question that your kids will inevitably ask, and might have also been puzzling you since you were a child. https://t.co/E7E8nGXQ5Z

That the sky is mostly dark is also how we know that our universe is almost certainly not infinite, as if it were, the sky would be infinitely bright!
The first 10 on today’s playlist:
Incredible transformation. Anti-speech types were once loathed by the left, be it Nixon trying to squash the Pentagon Papers or the Moral Majority or the PMRC or campaigns against stores carrying NWA records… Jerry Falwell would seem a speech absolutist in today’s climate. https://t.co/B8AukZ8guJ

That is, as I’ve already written about, an incredible transformation indeed.
I’m not a libertarian, but I am hightly skeptical of anyone who thinks they know what’s best for me. That’s all too many “liberals” out there.
Wild that we transitioned to "broadcast whatever is top of mind with zero friction" and "any opinion that reflects values not held by the most radical 10% may get you fired" at essentially the same time

That is a mite peculiar, ain’t it?
“The Vast of Night” [2020, Amazon Prime] is an extremely slow-burn… twilight zone-esque mystery that follows two teens in 1950s America over one night. A switch board, a radio, and a small town.

The first 20 minutes of that movie are some of the best filmmaking I’ve ever seen. Just grabs you immediately and immerses you in a world.

Especially true if you’re a woman.
Everyone seems to think the censorship movement won’t come for them. If you think for yourself, it eventually will.

Exactly. Seeing the left get so firmly behind censorship was a bit shocking, even for me. Talk about foot-shooting.
Seeing middle aged women being low key bitches to other, often younger women in our field reminds me why I don’t support all these girl power group efforts. They’re mostly ego trips for women needing validation and not ways of bringing more women into political risk.

I’ve never seen men treat women as badly as I’ve seen women mistreat other women in the workplace, especially in competitive roles.
Not saying men treating women poorly doesn’t happen. It does. But women, especially older women, really brutalize younger women on the job, especially if they are attractive. That older women now have more power in the workplace I think also largely explains why workplace dating is moving toward prohibition — it eliminates dating market competition from these younger women.
The revived Pontiac GTO was a very good car, much in the spirit of the original GTO from 1964. It was disliked in America because it was not a testosterone apocalypse. However, it was overall probably the best car I’ve ever owned considering how comfortable it was for the power. An absolutely great cruiser that you could drive 400 miles in and not feel tired after — while still having absurd amounts of power.
One of the two GTOs I owned:
The flip side to the ‘powerless Trump’ narrative is the all-powerful Trump who can apparently single-handedly carry out initiatives like removing troops from Germany and demanding more money from South Korea that nobody else agrees with. Policies (supposedly) only Trump owns.

This is a companion to the liberal contention that Obama had no power at all — that he was stymied at every turn by Congress, by the intransigence of American opinion, by the weather, or by whatever excuse the shitlibs could come up with for why Obama nearly-invariably failed to do the right thing.
Why, he just couldn’t help relinquishing the country to the banksters and drone-bombing all those people! It was completely out of his hands!
Only the assclownish fucknuggets at Hacker News could argue against 4K monitors and sound exactly like the dooftastic shitweasels they in fact are.
Are these people blind? I can easily tell if a 27″ monitor is 4K or 1080p at more than a meter away. It’s totally obvious. A lot of people just have bad vision, I think.
