"The Truth"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 day ago
*"The Truth"* by Neal Ross "In life there are certain things that are known as constants; things that never change. It takes the Earth 365 days to complete one orbit around the sun; that is a constant. In mathematics there are constants as well; one will always equal one is but one example. All things being equal, Newton’s Laws of Physics are also constants. But these are not the constants I would like to talk about; there is one other that I have yet to mention–the truth. Simply defined, the truth is the state of things as they actually are. When one is called upon to be a witness... more »

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 1 day ago

80% Of NYC Restaurants Couldn't Afford June Rent

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 1 day ago
This is a hard number and it is way too high. How does anyone think that it will be covered? Not covered is hardly an option.

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
*by Noah* That's one small mask for a man. One smaller man who's trying to kill us all. Once we found out that Trump's Moscow-based handler was paying bounties to the Taliban for the corpses of U.S. soldiers, and, it became obvious Trump didn't want to piss off his buddy Vlad, and that the whole thing didn't bother Trump or his party one bit, I guess it was inevitable that his fellow White House traitors would orchestrate a cynical photo op so their boss could pretend to give a damn about some military people.

Miloš Jakeš (1922-2020): evolving perspectives

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 1 day ago
On July 10th, Milouš Jakeš (which was his official, somewhat more funny and informally sounding than the commonly publicized, name) died, at age almost 98. He had a secretive funeral and we only learned about the death five days later. He was the last leader of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the communist era. It is interesting to see how my perspectives have evolved – and it is relevant for our comparisons of the communism of the 1980s and the neo-Marxism-driven present. After the 1968 Soviet-led occupation of Czechoslovakia that ended the promising Prague Spring, General... more »
