Repulsed is a strong word, so I'll leave Spader and Gosling out of this. But I will grab the microphone hard and holler JARED LETO like an icked-out banshee.

This is what Jupiter looks like in the infrared.
Its hot, lower atmosphere shining through the cooler cloud layers above.
You show me Jupiter and I'll show you a planet that wants you dead.

I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face; we have been in a disinfo/propaganda war with Russia since 2014, & it's one of the few things their military is genuinely excellent at, & we're fucking LOSING

Why aren't they just raising taxes on really rich people? And companies that make a load of money but aren't taxed? I don't understand any of this. It doesn't seem complicated.
