Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

China isn't burning the "beautiful clean coal" Trump says the U.S. is / will be.... (sigh)

Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry

About Tree Fiddy. :-)

A little tempered political outrage would be nice.

No, I get it -- as did many of her constituents.

see subject.

Coding is to CS as math is to Physics.

Software engineering is building the supercolliders for physics.

Meanwhile we have LLM's declaring themselves Mechahitler.

Good job University of No Job Placement.

(yeah, some Universities have been giving CS degrees for HTML and MS Office)

Good one. :)

If we can't move the planet by then we've gone extinct too.

According to the Timcast review (spoilers) he never says either phrase in the movie.

Just some dope making posters, reportedly.

Apparently all the immigrant and Israel propaganda stuff is fake too.

Marketing Buzz achieved - don't believe anybody without verifying.

What is the current total Federal budget for science across all departments?

We have record homelessness, addiction, child trafficking, and a curiosity about the earliest moments after the Big Bang, if that even exists.

Oh and not enough electricity for humans and AI aspirations.

Given limited funding we need to prioritize.

Cutting the War Department funding in half would be another good move.

By all means if this can be philanthropically endowed, like the Simons Observatory, that would be fantastic.

And where are the Oil Sultan countries on this? Muslims used to be the very best Astronomers in the world.

In this case, looking for a "afterglow" sounds kinda woke -- can't have that. :-)

As, apparently, do most Senators. :-)

Yup. "Reboot" seems to be studio-speak for "rehash" - though they don't seem to put much effort into mixing up the hash. While not an exact corollary, as Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) said in The Good Place, "They made a second Spider-Man? What is there left to say?" I feel the same about (most) reboots. The 2003/4 BSG reboot being one of the exceptions.

Or as Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said at a town hall meeting in response to constituent complaints about the Medicaid cuts in their/Trump's bill, "We are all going to die." Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) followed up later with, "They'll get over it."

What these comments fail to recognize is that while part of the equation is longevity, it's mostly about quality of life -- heath care usually helps with that and health insurance usually helps pay for that.

Ask Venus.
