THURSDAY NEWS AND OBSERVATIONS

***************************
NEWS



One of the world's most prominent astronomical observatories has a hole. On Monday, a 3-inch-thick (76-mm-thick) cable at the Arecibo Observatory broke, tearing a gash 100 feet (30 meters) long in the reflector dish of the 20-acre radio telescope in Puerto Rico.
Well, fuck!
I visited Arecibo. My daughter had worked with it several times and got me into the back rooms. I was amazed at how filthy it was...
 But was assured that it had no effect on the functioning.
I'm not sure their meager budget will be enough to repair the facility.

Trump Fordham transcript is fake.
I apologize for misleading you.
But this part was true:
One of the salacious details to emerge during the testimony of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, before the U.S. House Oversight Committee in February 2019 was that Cohen once sent letters to the president’s former schools warning them not to release any of Trump’s academic records.

I hate to say I told you so.

The whole fucking world is blowing up...literally.
Russian explosion on Monday. 
 Sinabung Volcano in North Sumatra, Indonesia
Well, now we know the trend for August.
Explosions weren't even on my 2020 Disaster Bingo Card!
What's exploding next?
A massive explosion rips through a gas station in southwest Russia; at least 13 injured.

Petty bitches.

No, that's not from The Onion.

 “Seems like too many people voted for Tikhanovskaya already. The number of ballots doesn't add up because of early vote-rigging. Police had to bring a ladder and commission members are climbing out of polling station with full bags”

And the people took to the streets.

IT'S STILL ABOUT THE FUCKING MASK YOU GODDAMN MORONS!



BACK OFF, OR YOU'LL GET SUED

Dear No-Mask Assholes,
You are why we are losing this war. You are the reason we won't have college sports. You are killing your fellow Americans.

I know the options suck. That's no reason to not participate. Beyond the presidential election, voting for local offices has a huge influence on your community.  For example,  the best way to make real changes in police budgets/social services is to get the right people in the office to support the policies so many have been fighting for. Things will get messy - they already are. Just because you've voted doesn't mean you're currently registered, please take 20 seconds to check your current registration: www.vote.org.
I know it can be hard, but also please talk to your friends and family to make sure they're registered and realize the importance of participation. We can do better than this.

THE DECISION MAKER


The man is delusional.

If Trump tells me that the expected vaccine is safe then I will certainly know that it is dangerous.

If in your opinion, Trump can never, ever, under no circumstances do anything right...and has done nothing good for the country...I think you have a serious problem. Contact CNN. They can use you.

Then I ask you... what about him appeals to you? What are you hanging your hat on? He's not Hillary? Obama? What is the quality that is making you vote for him again?

If you agree with that statement Ralph, YOU'RE the problem, not Trump!

He's not Donald Trump. I would vote for you if you were running against Trump.
