She and Boimler would have gotten along nicely.

A Jewish Senator sponsored the resolution to block further weapons sales, so at least some people are able to separate the Jewish religion from the Israeli government.

It seems to be the headline writer’s go-to word these days.

Foreseeing Mario Kart by decades.

As if increasing bicycle throughput isn’t increasing vehicle throughput. They’re vehicles, and can probably achieve a higher passenger density than individual cars can on a city street.

Season 3 of Picard refutes part of panel 2. Also, dozens? I can only remember David, though I’m not as well-versed in TOS.

There’s a Saturn V on display at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, but the people who made that facility important were born in Germany, not Alabama.

The dollar’s position as an international reserve currency is in doubt from all of the above.

I’d say that’s a weird spot for the \ | key, but looking around, I think that’s one of the last keys on a 104 key keyboard to get standardized.

Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.

I suppose the one meager upside is that this stone is now tied around Vance’s neck, too, for the next presidential election.

There’s also Artemis, a thriller set on a lunar colony. A little less science than The Martian or Hail Mary, but still fun.

The reporter kind of dropped the ball when it’s a 99-1 vote and they don’t name the one holdout senator.

She, along with all other Republicans, voted to table Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution over the attack on Iran, so she’s failed the “put up or shut up” test.

And they made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.
