Right? No need to go all the way to Mars to start farming up some space potatoes.

Another step in Trump & Hegseth’s relentless effort to politicize the military. By the time this stuff gets the attention it deserves it will be too late. But I will keep talking and writing about it.

World's oldest tortoise very much alive despite death rumors

Wow! These passengers got the view of a lifetime!

Excellent article! Speaking as a breast cancer survivor, every fuckbrained idiot in town will turn up and try to tell you crap like eating a frozen lemon every day will cure you. Cut these assholes off. Get to a cancer center and do what they tell you. Science works.
