Ah but have you considered just how much capital has been accumulated and concentrated in fewer and fewer hands?

Uranus' moons are named after Shakespeare characters which I always think is kinda fun!

I think they do they're just not willing to say it for international media. They want either total elimination of the Palestinian people or they move somewhere else. The starving out open-air prison treatment is ending - on Israel's hideous terms or on Palestine's terms but it sure seems like the old strategy is over.

From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free

Hush now, hush now
Don't you cry
Palestine will never die

It's so funny that this generation of spooks just posts their shit online lol

Cold War Cia guys had some unhinged ideas like attempting to assassinate Castro with explosive cigars or whatever but they never just wrote up a bio in their local newspaper and posted bulletins about their job in the local coffee shop

The stars actually aren't changing color (besides variables potentially but they don't change in seconds), they're changing cause the atmosphere is distorting as the light reaches your eye - one of the reasons we put observatories on like mountain tops and space is that there isn't as much atmosphere distorting the light (there's some newer observatories that can counter-distort their mirror to cancel out atmospheric scintillation).

You can see the milky way if you go somewhere with low light pollution! It's quite breathtaking. Also every star you see with your eyes is in the milky way. You can also see planets with your eyes, but I think that's just Venus (which is reflective enough to see) they look like stars but move day to day. You can see some supernovae when they happen, sometimes they're bright enough you can see then in daytime even. The movement of the stars over the year is highly predictable, even over centuries and milleniallia, some of the real old old structures like Stonehenge are aligned with the movement of the night sky. Because our planet rotates, the stars move, except (if you're in the northern hemisphere) for Polaris which only kinda wobbles over a year - it wasn't always Polaris, it had historically been other stars (were talking long long ago history not a lifetime lol), Polaris is in Ursa Minor in the night sky if you wanna find it 😀

If you keep a journal of the night sky you'll probably notice a lot of the same stuff our ancient ancestors did! We have the disadvantage of light pollution but the advantage of thousands of years of scientific advancement and written and oral knowledge.

I dunno how they're gonna go about that considering Russia could just veto that attempt to strip them lol and citing PRCs permanent security councils seat is just silly.

That's an extra 50 hours a week. Like more than a regular full time job of overtime. No idea how people survive it - they used to by progidious use of uppers like cocaine and amphetamines, but now all these docs aren't allowed that but still have to do the same shitty hours.

Clearly you would've said "make me one with everything" and this was a False Buddha

Tom is such a good pilot he broke the warp barrier, turned into a lizard, made his CO turn into a lizard, had sex with her, and returned back to human form all in a 30 minute episode. Top that

All that labor created value squeezed out of thousands of non-citizens considered expendable is exactly how they managed to create the biggest meatpacking plant. Just like how Amazon grows because it also has like a 200% turnover rate in its warehouses.
