@rbreich Agreed that “b/c he had a bad debate performance,” is no longer the real concern. It’s the question of whether he can win, & do the job, that’s causing the heartburn. I would expect a learned man as yourself to see beyond the whataboutism. The GOP cult of personality is because THEY embrace fascism. This argument “only Joe can fix it, so he deserves our loyalty,” sounds too similar to their bowing to royalty. But if Joe can show he’s able, I’m sure dems will back him joyously.

SpaceX video teases potential Starship booster “catch” on next flight

A booster landing would be a calculated risk to SpaceX's launch tower infrastructure.

It boggles my mind that it's apparently acceptable for SpaceX to not commit to the public what they are going to do with their massive device.
I guess that's a Texas thing, though.

@arstechnica
We'll see what damage there is to the launch site by the coming hurricane before we put a lot of stock in it. Though I suspect, of anything at Starbase, the launch tower is the LEAST likely to be significantly damaged.

@georgetakei I am no celebrity, but because of my job, my daughter and I got to attend the Tree of Life awards dinner several years ago. We sat next to Jamie Foxx and Sean Combs. It was the first, and only, time I ever met either of them. Jamie couldn’t have been nicer, especially to my daughter, bringing her around the room to meet many of the stars in attendance. Combs was a total dick to her in spite of the fact that she was so obviously star struck.

@georgetakei My concern is about those Republican legislatures that have claimed the right to ignore the popular vote and send whatever electors they want to Washington. With no constitutional amendment protecting voters rights or even defining it as a right of citizenship, and a supreme court that shows every sign that they will support that, there is the possibility that the vote could be overwhelmingly for the Democrats and the Republicans would still claim the win in the electoral college. I am not saying anyone's strategized to prevent this.

"So here's the thing now in Arkansas and much of the South, I'm afraid, and probably every red state in the country. If you are anything other than a white, straight man, your life is in danger."

"Your rights are already being taken away. Wake up, people! Vote, for crying out loud. Register, vote, follow what's going on, pay attention."

@rbreich While both candidates are old, one is able to say “you’re too old.” While the other mumbles something about brothers and sisters and incest. If democrats want to win, then CHANGE THE GUY RUNNING. Then the person running can hopefully say “You’re old Trump!” Our guy can’t do that right now!

@rbreich

Hillary was "too old" & had "6 months to live" in 2016-- that too was a lie

this whole debate is premised on a lie

Biden has a lifelong stammer that doesn't progress or impact IQ

vs

Trump spends all night raving on social media> inability to sleep is strongly linked to Alzheimer's & other kinds of dementia, dementia also explains all the word salad & Hannibal Lector rants...

while they're roughly the same age, Trump is biologically older > i blame the drugs!

The dangers of sneezing—from ejected bowels to torn windpipes

The benefits of a good sneeze can sometimes come with a greater risk of injury.

@arstechnica yeah I'm exceedingly careful when I'm about to sneeze. My sneezes generate a category 5 hurricane. 🤣 Which basically means I stop what I'm doing brace myself. There have been times where I've pulled a muscle sneezing and popped capillaries. The one thing you do not want to do though is sneeze while taking a dump at the same time. Dear God that hurts.
