These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

I think Weird Al Yankovic should host a TV show competition for online song parodists and whoever wins inherits the 'Weird' title. Like from then on they can use the stage name Weird Phil

If the press treated Trump’s Nazism like they did Biden’s age, I’m not sure he’d be competitive.

"It has been a month since Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, injected Springfield into the election by spreading baseless rumors about Haitians abducting and eating pets...Ku Klux Klan fliers have popped up around town. A neo-Nazi group waved swastikas in front of the home of the mayor"

It is, however, significantly better for my mental health to not constantly have nazi, racist and anti-trans posts force fed directly to my stream non-stop.

Liberals retreating to a site only used by liberals to complain that the rest of the media is unfair to liberals just doesn’t seem like the best move, tactically

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.

You are up to date.
