While scanning for alien signals, researchers found a possible millisecond pulsar near the center of the Milky Way.
If confirmed, it could help study the inner structure of our galaxy & map the gravitational pull of the supermassive black hole at the center. 🧪🔭

Hassett: "There's a chance that job creation lags, productivity skyrockets, profits skyrocket, GDP skyrockets, but then all of the sudden you're making 20 widgets and you can make 20 widgets with fewer persons, and then that person has to find a new job.

Note that this is a fairly incoherent piece (note the correction about why Latinos are souring on Trump downthread, for example), from Mike Allen -- a testament that some powerful people needed this particular story told.
