Say what now? Why thank you, Jared. Thank you for providing admissible evidence that is no longer excluded from consideration under the Trump immunity ruling.

(I wrote about them lots, I don't think they liked me, but they were very open in their 'well if the right are twisting facts in an online fight-to-the-death we might as well join in' attitude.)

This is a new deep-field image from JWST, designed to look for the point of origin of a fast radio burst. The bright, multi-point features are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is an entire galaxy.

It was ages ago but when I went to the You and Yours offices, I dont think I've ever met people with a clearer (correct) idea of who their audience is. The idea that the production team can't make shows in different formats for them is, at best, hard for me to believe. This is some bullshit.
