Privatize where lives are on the line and occasionally profit margin will kill people; e.g. private prisons. (“hey you @#$!! Hospitals are private!” yes, and we’ve never heard of cost cutting endangering people’s lives there, have we?)

i think any concept involving a “swing” in space is likely problematic. but (all and various aside) you just know it’ll happen and involve bags, (whhy 17 outta 23 of everything in space involves bags). sooo, listen up NASA! for a mere year grant of 3.1 million bucks (cheap!) i’ll design the sex-bag-6900[tm] for you…

A reward of an extra large dollop of reporter-chow™ for the first media person to cause spicy to abruptly end the presser with his typical gormless static brainfart expression.

‘TIL’ impeachment proceedings are Casus belli

This is an “agreement” or (sometimes) a “pact”, are exiting or joining such entities the entire prerogative of the executive with no possible check nor balance? (“when the RNC has congress then it reverts to a monarchy.  it’s right here in newt gingrich’s version of the constitution: special amendment 66”)

pssst, hey, ‘World Leaders’: if you’ve been entrusted with trump’s cell-phone number and you’re remotely as disgusted with him as the majority of us, then you could, y’know... leak that number..?

At the correct point it really ought to dispense a cracker and some wine out of a proper placed nozzle (“version 1.7 comes with a firehose for baptisms”)

Awwlright... next up, with just a CRISPR/CAS9 tweak: Anteater-dog! (“but will the Kennel Klub recognize GMO breeds?”)

Well covered - thank you! (bring back the meta, super, hyper keys! aka: The Space Cadet Keyboard)

(gazooks) it’s not just robots, any of our creations want to kill us for having the audacity to create them. 1818: Frankenstein (The Modern Prometheus ) - Mary Shelley, various golems, (oh...) 16th century Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, all manner of shaping things of bone and clay in mockery of god(s)... if humans…

With any luck, impeachment is just around the corner and we can all be done with this disaster.

As a public service someone should compile a list of celebrities who go by definite articles. i’ll start: “the rock”: Dwayne Douglas Johnson

The lesson here (there’s always a lesson) is that when one is constructing yer basic doomsday thingy that hardening it against likely aspects of doomsday is probably a wise precaution. (“so do ‘likely aspects’ include invasion of killer clowns, or not?”)

Thank you for covering this so well for us plebs! (for instance) can they observe the phenomenon from multiple points far enough apart (satellite based observations perhaps) to get an estimate of parallax, hence distance to the occulting body(s)? (perhaps the alien parasol is relatively near by?)

Ajit Pai is the poster boy of non-representative government. He draws your tax money for salary, he gets government health care, but everything he does he does for industry/donor class. His name should be writ forever large in the big book of enemy of the people.

star trek never made an absolutely consistent use of red shirts vs blue, this’ll show ‘em!

“Concerns Swell That Trump Will Pick a Total Lackey for FBI Director”

Headline twit here. No microwaves, (the electromagnetic wave), are required for this process. The kitchen appliance just provides a ready source of step-up transformers to generate the 1.2giga... .wait, no, higher voltages necessary. Other handy and equally hazardous sources include: any florescent bulb transformer,…

In some ancient course on grammar we learned that a preposition was anything a squirrel could be with regards to a pipe (near, above, inside, ...) clearly it’s time to give the squirrel a rest in favor of spicer and the bush.
