Darren Bailey thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old and the dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time. He's a fucking idiot.

I realized today I'm subscribed to way too many blogs, YouTube channels and podcasts. Working on removing some of this from my digital life.

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

Sophie Cunningham scored 0 points in 15 minutes for the Fever tonight. In those 15 minutes, her +/- was -20. Thought I'd share these stats, since she wants us to talk about basketball now.

I will be forever enraged at Joe Biden for that fucking SAVE student loan program he forced on all of us that the MAGAts immediately sued over and won because the forbearance bullshit screwed all of us working on our PSLF. NONE of us needed a new program because the ones we were on were fine.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.
