Scientists find nearly 100 new ‘exoplanets’ in hunt for life in space

Come on…this isn’t hard.
Pick one. Any exoplanet will do.
Call Elon Musk, ask if we can borrow a Falcon Heavy. We’re gonna need the lifting power…the cargo’s actual weight is unknown.
Load the rocket. Send Donald J. Trump there.
Space FTW!!!

Neptune’s Stinky Dark Vortex Is Fading Away Like A Bad Fart

As far as I’m concerned, any opportunity to discuss planets, farts & dark vortexes is reason enough to share.

Connecticut lawmakers mull marijuana legalization once again

#News420
Come on #Connecticut. Do you REALLY want to SPEND money arresting residents for something that all the surrounding states say is OK? #Massachusetts, #Maine, #Vermont…#NY, #NJ and #RI are right behind.
Is THAT the kind of state you want to be? Especially when a HUGE majority of CT residents think it should be legal, and you could be MAKING money through taxes.

Yeah, I didn’t think so. So get going!!!

Yes, gun control. But here’s another critical measure to keep us safe

Seriously. What do you expect will happen when you cut funding to education and social services, and proceed spend shitloads more…deep into deficits…on bombs and guns that you say we need because of how dangerous the world is?
So, we’re telling our kids how unimportant they are because we’re fighting for our survival in a dangerous world. They can either believe you or think your full of shit…either way it’s a miracle if ANY of them come out of their teen years with any hope at all.
What’s causing the violence? Easy. Only loss of hope causes people to do such desperate things.
Our politicians ALL have their heads up their own asses, and routinely make decisions to benefit the system that keeps them in power, not the people. Sadly, some of us…far too many of us…are simply losing hope that things will ever change. Change Washington DC, Change The World. #resist

60 years ago, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was founded. Here’s what we’ve achieved over the decades

Looks like time to fire up the protest machine again. Pretty fucked up that it’s 60 years later, and instead of moving forward, we’re heading backwards to where we came from. Instead of coming together to make nuclear warfare a bad memory that we humans transcended as we evolved into a better humanity, it is once again an ever present fear in our daily lives.
Not exactly progress, is it?

If so much of what I eat is dangerous, how am I still alive?

I’m sure it was all the clean living in my 20s and 30s… that’s what it was. If by clean, you mean clearly over most legal limits of…well, whatever.
I figure, everything will kill you… especially if you can’t say no when you’ve already had too much. Moderators will prevail. Over-doers will learn…or they won’t, and the ones who try and do EVERYTHING right, have a little damn fun once in a while! What good is it to live forever, if you don’t live WELL?
