Yeah, it became pretty clear he has a MO. That’s always like the next level as to these incidents, that’s not a good sign.

It’s pretty simple- the most powerful/important senior figure at her work corner her, a way junior employee, in his office looking for sex.

Here’s Patheos article exploring the initial allegations https://www.patheos.com/blogs/nosacredcows/2018/11/two-more-women-accuse-neil-degrasse-tyson-of-sexual-misconduct/#

That’s my thought, he was so revered, a black astrophysicist who opened up science to those, like me, who never really thought they could be into this stuff. Made it approachable to people who didn’t fit the mold of “old school” science, aka dirt old, upper crust white men.

Do you seriously not know contemporaneous doesnt refer to today’s times?! It means 1940s when we’re obviously directly talking about historical context of the 1940s.

Just was watching a good NatGeo documentary on the Syrian conflict/al-Assads last night that really had me down on the future of Syria, but this definitely inspires some hope. 

I'd say simply because of Turkey. They are a NATO member. And they are in conflict with the Kurds, obviously.

Herbal/OTC remedies are tough and rarely helpful, speaking as someone with chronic fatigue. (The only OTC product thats ever helped raise energy levels at all for me have been energy drinks and coffee, but you have to use them strategically and sparingly- I use them like on Christmas when I need energy to participate…

I like really hot baths, especially if you’re achy, I use them to manage my chronic medical problems. Epsom salts added help aches too. Dr. Teals make some cheap really nice smelling ones. Some have aromatherapy added for calming.

Thanks for the information. I’ll think about using that info for myself in a future therapist search.

Thanks for the practical response.

Some looney toon q anon pedogate Twitter lady has already falsely accused Hanks of raping her for decades starting as a child although all oofher story is impossible by mere laws of physics, timelines, and common sense, but the q anons were spreading it as proof Hanks was connected to “deep state pedos” IIRC.

All I heard was her disavowing the women’s march because Farrakhan was a founder.
