DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* Unless you are ridiculously naive, you have to know by now that Maine's $enator Susan Collins would have welcomed Alabama Judge Roy Moore into the United States $enate. Had the man she considers her boss of bosses, Donald Trump, nominated Judge Moore for the "Supreme" Court, she would have voted for him just as she voted for Brett Kavanaugh. She knew exactly what all the indicators say both men are but a future of a lifetime of misery for a young girl or woman means nothing to the soulless. I guess that's why she fits in so well down in D.C. When it comes down to it, th... more »

Red face

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 21 hours ago
BBC headline overnight: *Canada's PM **Justin Trudeau admits he can't remember how often he wore blackface, as row deepens ahead of election* In my half century of life I've never once put on 'brownface' or 'blackface' - unlike ultra-woke Justin Trudeau, Canada's Liberal PM, who's accidentally done it at least three times now. Confession time, I did once - albeit aged ten, and abetted by my teachers - put on 'goldface' to play the scary Ghost of Christmas Future in my primary school's production of 'Scrooge'. I had a black cowl and a black cloak. I glided. I held both arms in... more »

From the Washington Post: WASHINGTON — When Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald wanted to find out what was going on inside Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, the prosecutor in the CIA leak probe made a logical move.

Capitol Chill

Hollow Weenies

From Newsweek/THE DAILY BEAST: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Republican leadership’s tether to the Tea Party, flutters the hearts of the government-bashing, budget-slicing faithful with his relentless attacks on runaway federal spending.

With a long exposure from a dark location, though, the dust cloud surrounding the Pleiades star cluster becomes very evident.

"I often dream about falling. Such dreams are commonplace to the ambitious or those who climb mountains. Lately I dreamed I was clutching at the face of a rock, but it would not hold. Gravel gave way, I grasped for a shrub, but it pulled loose, and in cold terror I fell into the abyss. Suddenly I realized that my fall was relative; there was no bottom and no end. A feeling of pleasure overcame me. I realized that what I embody, the principle of life, cannot be destroyed. It is written into the cosmic code, the order of the universe. As I continued to fall in the dark void, embraced... more »

Egalitarianism, identity politics is ruining science

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 22 hours ago
...like it was ruining the socialist countries' economies... Every sane teenager (e.g. Soph) knows that socialism cripples the economies and its defenders must be treated like plague. I could provide you with more detailed data from Czechia but the comparison with other nations could be controversial because it's not true that "all other things are equal". Instead, Germany has been a great lab that has measured how it works. Parts of Germany used to be similar up to 1945 but "accidentally" occupied by armies with very different regimes.

* "As Time Goes By"* by Chet Raymo "Is time something that is defined by the ticking of a cosmic clock, God's wristwatch say? Time doesn't exist except for the current tick. The past is irretrievably gone. The future does not yet exist. Consciousness is awareness of a moment. Or is time a dimension like space? We move through time as we move through space. The past is still there; we're just not there anymore. The future exists; we'll get there. We experience time as we experience space, say, by looking out the window of a moving train.
