Wait. WAIT. If watching two men kiss can turn a child gay, then showing them a man and a woman kiss should turn them back.
Unless, of course, that’s not how any of this works.
Juneteenth is fun because you get to see all of the "you know Republicans ended slavery" people complain about a holiday that celebrates the end of slavery.
Check out the latest video from #TheChristoFiles - a deep dive into the rise and demise of Putin's most secretive assassination squad: Department 795. Contains previously unreleased footage and mind-boggling examples of sloppy tradecraft.

Apocalyptic bird nest.
A Russian glide bomb knocks down a tree in Donbas. From the shattered branches rolls out a tiny bird’s nest.

@ian_engz@HistoryWJacob I’ve heard this argument before and it seems to me to be a case of would’ve, could’ve, should’ve. There were many previous occasions where the Union managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of certain victory.
It's nearly impossible to reach the Sun because you inherit the Earth's inertia when you leave Earth. This means you're going at least as fast as the Earth's orbital velocity, which is 67,000 miles per hour (108,000 kilometers per hour), so you need to slow down. In the frictionless vacuum of space, it takes just as much energy to decelerate as it does to accelerate, so it takes the same amount of fuel to go from 67,000 MPH to zero as it does to go from zero to 67,000.
NASA managed to get the Parker Solar Probe to the Sun by using using gravity from Venus to "tug" it in the direction opposite of Earth's orbit to slow it down. It took seven passes by Venus to accomplish this, orbiting the Sun 24 times. The whole process took seven years. It still didn't really reach the Sun, but now has a highly irregular orbit in which it passes close (in astronomical terms), and the Sun's gravity accelerates it so much that it gets flung back out to the orbital distance of Venus by the slingshot effect before returning. During those close passes, it becomes the fastest man-made object ever made, reaching speeds of 430,000 MPH (692,000 KPH).
@MikuMikuDancer@cosmosarcive Exactly. Why did they have to blast off from Earth in a standard rocket when they had the magic space ships that could fly away from the water planet and Matt Damon’s planet without huge space shuttle-type fuel tanks?
@HiddenHistoryYT This is but one example of why I can’t take the NCIS seriously. They tried the same thing with the USS Bon Homme Richard disaster. The “Fat Leonard” case is another example of institutional incompetence.
@Acyn Trump tosses a lawn dart wildly into the air, with no idea where it's going to land.
But all of these right-wing pundits can't wait to rush out to that dart, place a plastic ring around it, and declare that Trump got another bullseye.
