@SarahLongwell25@davidfrum No Secret Service agent was killed in JFK assassination. The other death was Dallas Policeman J.D. Tippet. Early reports about the Secret Service Agent were wrong.
@CollinRugg@AshtonForbes As one does, i.e. sending a text swearing to never commit s*****e. I saw her Power Point presentation and, uh, yeah, I don't think it was a mysterious murder, let me put it that way. I think she was riding a pseudo-science rocket that failed to ignite.
@reesjeannotte@newstart_2024 Yes, it's hard, at first, then you come to accept that cosmic reality. I even find it oddly comforting. We'll all die & our species, and all others, will go extinct. That's part of the deal.
@HilltopHorror@newstart_2024 I'd say that it's not even a one-way trip. It'll be no trip at all unless you can get governments to fund a suicide mission.
@newstart_2024 Yes, blame Einstein for real scientific limits. No one, or no thing, will ever go as fast, or faster than, the speed of light. None of Eric's crackpot theories is going to change that.
@EdwardGLuce I despair of Democrats ability to do what it's going to take. Our California Governor's race shows just how inept & ineffectual they are.
@AntiWokeMemes I think it's all theater to convince others of what you are not. It's often very damaging to the person undertaking this transformation. But, it continues to be their right, which I will respect. I'm still kind to them and wish them the best, as I always have.
@elegationvain What to make of the detrans'ers who've oscillated to the other, even Trumpian, extreme? The "pissed-off lawyer" may fall into this camp. Are trans and de-trans people given to emotional and ideological extremes? Black-and-white thinking?
@elegationvain You might want to make this less ambiguous. Are you saying that the people who actually HAVE Trump Derangement Syndrome are the ones who elected him? I'm assuming.
@michaelshermer You can extend that to those who believe that we can (or should) live on Mars or even beyond the Solar System. They exist within a science-free zone. The aliens are, most often, part of this whole impoverishment of science education.
