I look for info on the McConnell situation about 5 times a day, because--legitimately--as a mystery writer I have a major interest in how you hide a dead body.

Fifty-seven years ago today. Happy International Moon Day!

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

57 years ago today, humans first landed on the Moon. The source code that helped get them there? It’s on GitHub. Margaret Hamilton led the MIT team responsible for Apollo’s onboard flight software. (Image credit: Draper Laboratory; restoration by Adam Cuerden, via Wikimedia Commons.)

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Gov. Andy Beshear must immediately go on the effin' offense, call a special election, and force a *public* proof of life of Mitch McConnell.

So nobody has the authority to go to the fuckin hospital and see if Mitch McConnell is dead or alive? This is some bullshit man.

My proposed Minister for A.I.

Some of you weren’t raised by PBS, and it shows.

The only ones committing election interference is Mitch McConnell’s staff and the governor for not calling a special election already!! He’s dead!!!

Folks complaining the actors in The Odyssey don't look Ancient Greek are oddly nostalgic for the era when John Wayne was apparently the most qualified Mongolian on Earth.

In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.

"A sickness known as hate; not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ - but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone - look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether." Rod Serling

Time for Dems to play hardball and replace McConnell. He certainly would have done so

“I don't get political” translates to “This isn't hurting me yet and I don't care that it's hurting you.”

Why can’t Gov Andy Beshear just appoint a new Senator to replace Mitch McConnell unless they provide proof of life? Just appoint someone and have the GOP fight it after like they do to Dems.

I have heard this outbreak is being caused by Taylor Farms lettuce used at Taco Bell, but considering their lettuce is at Costco and Kroger and Walmart and Target and Safeway and Albertsons and Whole Foods (and other fast food chains) for now let us just avoid lettuce.

Habeas corpus. Mitch isn’t alive until he’s walking and talking on live television and even then I want DNA proof that’s him.

If you do go and see the Odyssey please no spoilers. Some of us haven’t had time to read the book in the last 3000 years.

Hey Markwayne Mullin, DHS has no role whatsoever in administering, monitoring, or protecting elections. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Here's the way around having to pretend that Mitch McConnell is not dead, if that is indeed the case. We should all agree on this point: if Mitch McConnell can't be wheeled to a podium for a live press conference to speak, then he is not competent to serve. newrepublic.com/post/213199/...

If Obama, A SITTING PRESIDENT, had to prove where he was born, McConnell has to prove he's alive.

By the way, where’s the new video of living Mitch?

Mar 17, 1986 was the day we filmed the (then) top-secret ending to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the unveiling of the Enterprise-A, since re-created by the artists of the Roddenberry Archive, including Donny Versiga, You can explore a lot more at roddenberry.x.io

Big points to the SNW marketing graphics department for referencing these rather cool Star Trek stickers from 1976! (Minus a few points for them not using ITC Serif Gothic, of course)

Apollo 11 (16-24 July, 1969) with a crew of astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. First landing on moon. HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTH FIRST SET FOOT UPON THE MOON JULY 1969, A.D. WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND

JULY 16: On this day in 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin slipped the surly bonds of Earth aboard their Saturn V rocket, to touch the face of the Moon.

We all know this still stinks to high heaven. Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell. “I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

Do the Enterprise B with Alan Ruck, YOU COWARDS

What noise is this? Not dead? Not yet quite dead?
