I feel a strange need to repost this art. Sometimes art needs reposting y'know? Like this art. Did you know lionesses sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? Apparently bees, ants, & termites do this too. #art

the LDS Church did not allow black priests, opposed interracial marriage, supported racial segregation in its communities and church schools & taught that righteous Black people would be made white after death until 1978

Proposal for a 'total containment' ground testing installation meant for Nuclear Thermal Rocket engines:

Oxygen is added to hydrogen exhaust to convert into it steam that's condensed away, and the rest cryogenically frozen with LN2.

A fusion-driven prospector spacecraft takes it crew of explorers to scope out a distant asteroid. Even a modest 100m diameter body like this masses over 1 million tons.

The backlash to Prop 187 in California wasn't just from Hispanics. It offended every demographic, including those who voted for the ballot measure, to the point where Republicans became politically irrelevant in the state.

Degenerate gamblers is putting it kindly.
The only goal in the antebellum south was to be a planter. Every enterprise, all learning and skills, were acquired in the effort to become a planter.
