"Flight. Tell 'em to take SCE to AUX." OK boy Aaron saved Apollo 12 after a double lightning strike on takeoff because he had seen the data scrambled in the same exact way a year earlier on a simulation. Mission Control: "Try SCE to Auxiliary, over." Saved. Hero. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWQI...

God DAMN I hate American media. The NYT posted on here quoting Trump's obvious in-your-face-lie. A private citizen called this in. There was no investigation.

Your attention please. I have invented a new word. Copegoat: Someone who takes blame because a group cannot cope with blaming the real culprit. "Vance will be the copegoat MAGA needs after Trump is dead, just as Biden is their current copegoat." Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Regarding the hullaballo over the SCOTUS decision to *allow* states to use the SAVE voter database: 1) There is no mandate to do so. Don't panic. 2) This won't affect midterms, too late to purge voters. 3) We need a current copy to scrutinize future changes. THAT'S where the fuckery comes in.

Watching a man in his 90s talking about fighting and recording video in the war. Really makes me wonder what dad would say about me marrying a half-Jap. :) My parents were all kinds of racist, but they hid it from me, apparently didn't want me to grow that way, that's gotta be tough enough.

Well. I didn't expect this to hit so hard. Watch to the end, it's quite short. We're making the same exact mistakes of 100-years ago, but people such as this, and my parents, are dead and can't recount their stories.

Here's one not doing the rounds so far. Forget the content matter. It's bugfuck, but put it aside and try to follow along with... whatever he's trying to convey. The President of the United States is dying of dementia in front of the whole world.

The greedy few want us fighting each other so we don’t fight them. City or country, red or blue, working Texans have more in common with each other than we ever will with the monopolists rigging our economy. It’s time to unite and break their grip.

Tried to get a decent shot of a banana spider mamma for YEARS! Caught her in an unusual web, spanning the crepe myrtle down to a tall piece of grass. Never seen such a construction. Also, they usually eat their web every night and start new, but we see some victims here!

September 12th, saw my first love bug. 20-years ago they swarmed so hard that my first Florida advice was to wash my car as their guts would eat the clearcoat. Been watching their population tank year over year. No one else has noticed. I could go on about local insect populations.

I will not take away from anyone who ran for their lives. I will not. Ever. But some choose to run *towards* death, not knowing anything but that other humans were in danger. I have no god, but I pray I could run forwards.

Trump concluded his 01/06/21 speech shortly after 1PM. Here's foxnews.com at 5:47PM, well after the terrorists stormed the Capitol. web.archive.org/web/20210106... Next snapshot was two hours later, finally reporting at nearly 8PM. Fox News operates by not reporting.
