First light for the Dwarf 3, and for me as #astrophotography! Pretty pressed with the results; Orion Nebula, 120 subs 30/60/4K, 55 usable, Siril, GraXpert, VeraLux. Need to get my head around this whole stretching thing!

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

"AI" is a misleading term, given there's no intelligence in these systems, artificial or otherwise.
I propose a more accurate term: Pseudo-Intelligent Stochastic Systems. 😉

Ever noticed the exact date immigration went from noble pioneers heroically setting out to weave their story's thread into the vibrant tapestry of a new nation to a vile invasion by unwashed savages looking to mooch off our golden birthright tends to be the day after the speaker's ancestors arrived?

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

So there are mayors who now control budgets of tens of millions of pounds because they were wanted by 7%, 10%, or 13% of citizens, and an MP legislating for our country because she was wanted by 18% of citizens.
England's broken electoral system strikes again. 93%, 90%, 90%, 87%: the percentages of electors who DIDN'T vote for the winning candidate in West of England, N Tyneside, Doncaster, Lincolnshire. 82% DIDN'T vote for the new MP for Runcorn. This is not democratic representation of the people!
