I saw someone point out elsewhere that Elon Musk is on a trajectory that's pretty similar to that of John McAfee. who was once a widely respected tech industry figure, became wealthy, then seemed to go a little nuttier every year, and then...

Anyway, I can't get that thought out of my head now.

Galactic collisions result in a billion-year gravitational dance, as shown in this captivating supercomputer simulation. The simulation depicts the collision of two spiral galaxies and is complemented by actual images of galactic collisions at various stages captured by Hubble.

AOC on the CNN Trump disaster:

“This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead they put a sexual abuse victim in harm’s way for views. This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence.”

And CNN is owned by Trump supporter John Malone

Boycott CNN forever.
