Exxon' CEO meeting with Trump comes out and says Venezuela is "uninvestable" and will stay that way without significant changes. Probably not what Trump wanted to hear and probably not how Trump is going to frame the meeting.

🧵6 months before Jonathan Ross murdered Good in cold blood--
He violently smashed a car window, reached inside to grab the driver, and got dragged 50 ft when the man panicked and drove off.
That driver probably saved his own life by doing that.

The murderer with a gun is allowed to be afraid but not the woman who's trying to get away from the man who murdered her with that gun. Got it.

Renee Good’s murder was not just a homicide, it’s a hate crime against women, called femicide.
Good told ICE, "That's fine, I'm not mad at you" and was shot 3 times in the head point blank, Ross yelled the misogynist slur, "fucking bitch" after killing her. #3E #endimpunity

Seven Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election: Durbin (minority whip), Hassan, Kaine, King, Klobuchar (possible candidate for pres), Shaheen, and Welch.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

What does “gravitationally bound” mean in the expanding Universe?
#AskEthan
Does the fabric of space expand, within the expanding Universe, in the location where you are?
It depends on if you're inside a bound structure or not. Here's what that means.

Ask Ethan: What does "gravitationally bound" mean in the expanding Universe?
When objects are gravitationally bound, they cannot escape from one another's influence. How does that work within the expanding Universe?

A few days ago, a client’s data center "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G.
