An important milestone.
What a time to be alive, when a boardgame company sues a space company for illegally using the land they bought to slow the construction of a border wall.
Well when you put it like that...
I remember reading about Voyager 1 when I was a kid. Crazy to think that's it's still operational after all these years, and even still has fuel left!
Went down a bit of a rabbit hole tonight.
The judge, who won his seat in a nonpartisan election, said the ban violated numerous constitutional guarantees, including the right to liberty and to “pursue and obtain safety and happiness.”
Such creative interpretations may be what the US needs, now that the highest court is packed with partisan quacks.
Still, doctors said that it would restore their ability to provide abortions in hospitals, particularly to women with pregnancy complications. Now, they say they often have to send those women out of state, or make them wait until they get sicker out of fear of violating the ban, which punishes doctors with up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Remember to vote in November! And remember not to vote for the party that made it a crime to save a woman's life.
I'm not a fan of Dick Cheney, but him and Liz are actual Republicans who stuck with their principles when the rest of their party got suckered by a populist RINO. Let's hope they still hold som sway over actual Republican voters.
Personally I've been busy playing Dustborn lately, but I doubt a mid-budget indie game had any impact on this.
Reminder not to vote for a fascist.
Ratings is something I think about quite a bit. The rating system here is fairly intuitive and straight forward.
"Would you recommend this article to others?" 1-10, where 1 means no and 10 means yes. I've found that my most used rating is 8, which means I think most people (but not all people) would find this interesting. I very rarely rate something lower than 6, because I struggle to even finish reading things that don't interest me. And that's one of the great features of this site; that we actually have to finish reading something before we can vote! But it does probably result in articles getting higher average ratings than they deserve. One interesting quirk of the voting system here is that even a negative rating (5 or lower) will add to the article's score and increase its visibility, which may be another reason for users to refrain from voting on articles they didn't like.
This is some dystopian shit.
Sad, but not surprising.
