John Roberts' friend and defender is quoted in the piece, saying they shouldn't be shaming Roberts for the wreckage and ruin he's brought to this country because of "civility." The bullies always cry "civility" when the victims push back in the slightest.

The current huge story about the gang rape at Cornell University, a crime originally brushed off and covered up by the administration, is SOLELY the product of the student paper, the Cornell Daily Sun, which doggedly pursued the story. Not the NYT or CNN. An independent student paper. #Cornell

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR | Cornell Won’t Listen, We Will

The Sun's Editor-in-Chief Sophia Dasser '28 calls on the Cornell community to share its reactions to the Chi Phi lawsuit and the University's response, on the record, for a permanent public archive.

It ends w/ Belafonte consoling Fozzie & a performance of "Turn The World Around". The message, & its resonance, remains undiminished... “Do you know who I am Do I know who you are See we one another clearly Do we know who we are” Belafonte would later perform this song at Jim Henson’s funeral.

My husband and his friends realised they thought they were good guys but still made like, ironic-sexist jokes. They introduced the 'sexism snake' where wherever one of them made a sexist comment or joke, the others would just start hissing. Didn't need to get into an argument about it, just hissing.

Screen shot of the Justice League: Unlimited episode entitled "Double Date." It is a shot of the JL space station with a crescent bit of Earth on the left. There are many stars in the background.

A shot of the inside of the JLU space station. The writing says, "written by Gail Simone." Nice job!

I finished Evil. Did everything wrap up in a satisfying way? Of course not! This isn't Better Call Saul, this is a story-of-the- week supernatural procedural that began on network television. It's also the best show of its kind I've seen. Katja Herbers and Michael Emerson are so good. I'll miss it.

Hubble's Lagoon - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/HrCVMB

Having fun with the anniversary data. The original observations were mostly narrowband, but I thought it would be fun to hack it a bit and give it a wideband look. Takes the focus away from the color patterns to allow one's mind to appreciate the weight and shape of the structures more easily.

ps - The original news release image is here, just in case you missed it. hubblesite.org/image/4150/news_release/2018-21

I love Star Trek, but I'm really disappointed with Strange New Worlds. The ratio is all wrong. It should be something like 1 hokey episode to every 10, but it's the opposite. We got one serious one last week sandwiched between three hokey ones. *Sigh* Bring back the 23 ep. season! #startrek

But actually tho the first 10 minutes of Up does a massive amount of exposition and setup that supports the entire rest of the film. It's never once boring or confusing and it also makes you cry.
