Big badda boom

Right…so we would be unable to retask it to observe something else that did not align with the satellite’s current orbital position. Seems like a pretty big limitation to me.

I like how the article discounts other deep space telescope ideas because they would require more advanced technology than we already possess…but then is like “but if we use the sun, all we have to do is send a whole bunch of spacecraft 3 times farther than the farthest thing we’ve ever sent”.

It’s an interesting idea. But even if we got the required satellites that far out, at that distance, how could you expect to aim this sun telescope? Or would it just be stuck with whatever it’s currently pointed at?

I miss Ginni! She was so much better.

The altercation came moments after Trump criticized major media outlets for what he said was unfavorable coverage and dismissed CNN as fawning for its interview Thursday with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

It appears the man was going after members of the press, not Trump.

Raskin is a Democrat.

Re-read the comments. No one argued that nobody uses terms of endearment. The argument is that using given names doesn’t need to be normalized because it’s already an extremely normal thing…and that the abnormal behavior would be someone actually getting upset that their SO called them by their given name.

Lol, ok buddy. Have a great day. 👍

Never using real names ≠ not using pet names.

I also have never met a couple that never calls each other by their given name. That doesn’t mean those same people never use pet names.

So my question is, if they reverse judge Cannon’s decision to dismiss and reinstate the case, is the case back in her hands or is there a way for them to get the case reassigned through this?

Not that any of it will happen before the election now, thanks to her…but would be great to see her removed from any future proceedings.

Except that he’s apparently been registered as a Republican since 2021…and he didn’t enter the event.

That is a pretty big help financially… indirectly anyway.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

I think what you said is true. But you’re referring to people who have an actual handicap and are discriminated against for it.

What I’m referring to is the idea of allowing myself to believe that a people group are less intelligent than I am just because they don’t align with me politically or ideologically. There is no actual handicap for which they are being discriminated against, simply having a different life experience and different view point is enough. It’s ironically a deeply fascist mentality…and I agree it is everywhere.

I was mainly responding to the previous comment which characterized right-wingers as having “lesser cognitive ability”. Just saying that that kind of thinking sets up a “we’re superior” mentality that can too easily lead to the same kinds of consequences as thinking you’re superior based on race or social status. There are so many environmental and experiential factors that go into where a person lands politically and how effective certain forms of propaganda are on them. Blanket statements that characterize entire people groups as less intelligent are not in any way accurate or helpful.

There are definitely plenty of well educated, intelligent fascists as well. It’s pretty dangerous to start thinking that what separates two ideological groups is intelligence.

Except that options 1 and 3 are the same. They come as a pair. So if you think you can stomach option 1, then by all means go for option 3.

Let a dictator seize power, tear down our democracy, and install himself and his successors for life. That’ll teach them Democrats a lesson.

No one’s saying reform doesn’t need to happen. But it isn’t gonna happen before November. And it certainly isn’t going to EVER happen after November if the side that would refuse to give up power once they have it gets elected.
