Even if poor Americans are starving, they should at least take some comfort from the fact that the Supreme Court justices who are allowing them to starve have very impressive, academic credentials.

I can think of no better visualization for the state of America today than the White House being torn down to allow for more space for the rich and well-connected to party.

So first Florida ignores climate change and hardening for it and helps make home insurance unaffordable for Floridians. How much you want to bet that in a few years Florida leads the nation with the most expensive Health Insurance costs?

Donald Trump’s personal lawyer is about to offer Maxwell Ghislaine a pardon if she agrees to lie about Trump’s association with Jeffrey Epstein. Here’s why that’s bad news for Democrats.

We’ve apparently discovered our third interstellar comet/asteroid barreling through the solar system and I keep thinking “The Ramans do everything in threes.”

(No, I don’t believe these are artificial objects, just an amusing thought to me is all)

A new interstellar comet has been spotted by Atlas & catalogued as A11pl3Z with MPC id 2024 RB22.

This data viz shows we'll lose the best parts of its orbit to the Sun & it gets no closer to the Sun than Mars' orbit, BUT AN INTERSTELLAR COMET is coming in!
