I just realized that we are living under Caligula - except that instead of making a horse a senator, our Caligula put a horse's ass in charge of 'efficiency'. (I'm waiting for him to declare victory over Neptune...)

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750).

To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.

“Sayonara on the steel guitar” George!
Rep. George Santos is expelled from Congress on bipartisan vote following scathing ethics report.

The ouster of the freshman congressman was only the sixth time in U.S. history and the first in more than 20 years that the House has taken such drastic action.

The vote followed the release two weeks ago of a scathing 56-page Ethics Committee report. The freshman lawmaker has resisted calls to resign.
