@hammancheez @Jedigirl I just could not agree more. I feel the same way. I was expecting this, however. I've learned, a long long time ago, not to have any hope when it comes to these matters.
The fact that this wasn't even a felony case of fraud and sedition against Fox News so that they could not just settle out of course speaks to how broken the system is.

Last toot on this shit I promise (kinda)
All the people saying fox viewers wouldn’t believe it if they had to air an apology miss the point by a mile.
I want Carlson and Hannity and Ingraham and the rest to be forced to say “I lied”
I want the words like ash in their mouths
I want the twisted facial expressions of impotent rage
I want them humiliated and helplessly angry
And I want the gifs on repeat till the end of the internet

Good morning, a lovely cuddly cutie for today. Have a nice day.
As Pema Chödrön would likely say, let's enjoy the present moment and be grateful for it, as it is the key to achieving inner peace and happiness.
@lokigwyn@piaille.fr 👋☕️🥐
@davep Oh yeah, I definitely remember those.
@davep Oh yeah. Those were the days. Remember smoking on a plane? I do. 🤣 Smoking on trains too. It was kind of insane when you think about everywhere we could actually smoke. And think about this: People used to smoke in the waiting room in hospitals. 🤣 I mean, c'mon!

BREAKING: Congress just reintroduced the dangerous #EarnItAct, an internet surveillance bill that makes all of us less safe by attacking online encryption. We’ve killed this bill 💀twice 💀, and we’re going to do it again at https://www.noearnitact.org/
Now, here’s a refresher:
@davep I know what you mean. I was born in 1970 so I grew up with it around me everywhere.
It's also very funny how everyone is drinking a scotch in the office. And yes, I remember people smoking in some elevators. They used to actually have ashtrays. 🤣
@nullifidian @davep Yeah I never actually heard them (and I've got a collection of old BBC Radio shows). I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for reminding me.
I believe at archive.org or something they have the entire old BBC collection including LOTR, HHGTTG and a few other classic ones.

@natharari @davep The old (BBC?) radio plays are worth a listen, too for another take on the books. They should be available somewhere out there (*waves hands vaguely towards the interwebs*).

@natharari I may have to do the books because I’m liking the themes and ideas in the show.
@davep Well, the books are great but very, very, 1950s. I mean, to a T. You have guys in "futuristic offices" still smoking cigarettes, talking with 1950s lingo...you can sort of just imagine them patting the secretary on the butt and asking for another scotch. It's very dated. But the concepts are still amazing.

Happy birthday, TESS! 🥳
We’re excited to keep working together with you to further exoplanet science 🪐

@davep The books are classic. The series is good but completely deviates from the books in so many ways. It's still good but...it's not *really* "Foundation" in a sense. Sort of in a peripheral way for the most part.

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

I finally fixed my blog on Github. It was down for something like three months or more. I just didn't have the time to fix it. I had this stupid git setup with two directories and repos and it just didn't make sense. Of course, when I tried to fix it so that it was only one directory/repo, it messed everything up and I just stopped for a while in frustration.
I finally sat down and rebuilt it from scratch (the repo). Should work now. Glad to have gotten that done.
