Liberal, humanist, skeptic. If you're not real, please don't bother talking to me. I'm old, I like science, art, good music,cannelés de bordeaux and odd and interesting people. And proper punctuation.

Watching this historic meeting between all the European leaders, Ukraine and the US and Trump just said to the Finnish president, "You look better than I've ever seen you look" because he did not even remember him. Good grief, what an embarrassing idiot he is.

The meeting was a disaster for everyone except two people. Trump got his photo op and his ego boost.
Putin got his photo op, whitewashing of war crimes and no sanctions.
No one in Ukraine, Europe or the United States benefited in any way.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.
