Conquering the galaxy is not an ambitious enough goal for humanity, but it’ll do for a start.

And there are pretty profound benefits to the person getting the multicultural contact as well. Dating or being close friends with people from other cultures is linked with higher creativity, innovation & odds of launching a startup in 4 different studies. https://t.co/43MqYcQaAO pic.twitter.com/b65zm2w9lw

But the libs believe dating someone from another culture or ethnic group is racism and also sex trafficking now, so that’s right out. Is friendship now also verboten?

If any astronauts have had sex in space, I hope one of them at least had the courtesy to say, “I’m about to perform an orbital insertion.”
Otherwise, what’s the point?

Robert L. Poston rolled hard. I like it.
Big Time
If the movie Big (1988) came out today, it would absolutely tear this website apart.

As with many movies from the 1980s, Big could not be made today. It’d be considered too offensive by the wokesters and be canned even if it came up for development. During the 1980s, the zeitgeist was emphasizing our similarities and all about trying to bring people together.
That’s now transitioned to highlighting our differences, and making sure we dis-align along those axes. I have to say that what we were attempting during the 1980s was far better.

Unvaccinated Covid Patients Push Hospital Systems Past the Brink.
Unvaxxed people should be treated dead (pun very much intended) last at any hospital. Why waste medical staff’s time on those who have made their decision on how much they value their health? They’ve already demonstrated they’d rather die — so why not let them?
“Here’s some Tylenol; good luck.”
Panned Out
If omicron is as mild as it looks to be and delta can’t evade immunity from omicron, this could be the pandemic endgame

Seems likely to me too. Omicron appears mild but very transmissible. Most everyone is likely to get it, most probably asymptomatic if vaccinated.
In a way, with Omicron we got lucky. It didn’t necessarily have to be milder than previous variants though it’s becoming increasingly clear that it in fact is.
