@Pat That's a good point.

@Pat @CardboardRobot It is and, so far, it looks like it will probably remain legal. But, even though I'm sitting all the way in France, there's no way I'm going to do absolutely nothing to try to help a little bit to keep it so - just in case. 😀

@bellaxtsepi You're welcome! It's a great book. He also has one of the best podcasts once a week since years. Just look for his name in Apple Podcasts or Spotify or whatever and you'll find it. He has fascinating guests every week on a huge range of topics for very in depth discussions not just about physics but sociology, anthropology, chemistry, biology, and so much more. I think you'd like it a lot. 👍

There are good questions surrounding this question. Entire shows can vanish on the internet - it's happened already.

I'm "just asking questions".

@will I'm curious: How do you get invited...?

Also, he's here on Mastodon in case you want to follow another really interesting person.

I actually remember this cover art when it came out. We had just moved back to the states, I was in NYC at the time, and this completely caught my attention:

There's a petition on Moveon.org to keep Mifepristone legal.
I honestly have no idea what good these petitions do, but I do know that Moveon has had some impact over the last couple of decades, so I signed it. If you want to, here's the URL: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/reverse-the-mifepristone-decision-protect-abortion-access

The Common Sense Skeptic has yet another video with an entire forensics breakdown of the disaster that was the 4/20 launch of Starship. More and more has been coming out about what a disaster it has been, but a lot of it has been drowned out by the blatant ass-kissing in the press and websites from Musk fans. Well, it was a huge disaster and The Common Sense Skeptic breaks it all down. And not only that: They show where they predicted what would go wrong *before* the launch. Yet another huge win for them.
