I wonder what the payback on investment would be if we spent a boatload of dough on a device that could peer say, 100 years into the future? ... amazing discoveries that are a great return on investmentSociety has supported pricey astronomical projects like space telescopes because of the huge payback in knowledge about the universe -- and should continue to do so. Hubble, for instance, has proven itself worth the investment again and again. It has answered questions that weren't even being asked when it was launched, while shedding light on old questions like: how fast is the universe expanding? And how old it is?

Pro-Trump, anti-vaxx Karens upset that they can't dine at Trump Grill in Trump Tower because they can't show proof of vaccination. Trump is a fraud if he supports this.

Trump is now (sort of) promoting Covid vaccines. Is any of the non-Trump general public going to believe that? Or is he simply looking to rehabilitate his image to attract non-sycophantic voters for his next run at the presidency?
What a phony. And that is about the nicest word I can say about him.

We can all agree that no one has seen the Biblical character "Jesus Christ" in person and we can all agree that the character lived in the middle east. I find it interesting that American Evangelical artists depict Jesus Christ as a good-looking, blue-eyed, fair skinned individual with a very Aryan nose - at least that is the image that Del Parson conjures up. Also interesting that these Evangelicals always depict Jesus as extremely handsome - it's almost very homoerotic - like religoporn or something. ![[Linked Image from ]]( https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2e46c44c17dd0b06f19bb6b00deb7f4860e34f4692a708886524d9adbdc49459.png)

That’s funny Rick. Perhaps you and that Jesus could get together sometime to discuss a little scripture… or something.
