In 2012, astronaut Longarang performed an AMA on Reddit. Between questions about Aliens (he saw nothing in space) and where his coffee came from (recycled urine), he answered questions about why he should accept the risks of his future mission to Mars. Garan quoted his colleague. “If the dinosaurs had a space program, they would still be here.”Putting aside the possibility of a giant reptile of walnut-sized brains developing a version of Apollo 11, the point here is that the dinosaurs have almost certainly been wiped out by a six-mile asteroid. survive.Dinosaurs, of course, could not do anything about the…
There has been a lot going on in the last six weeks to be gentle and it may be hard to see through the dust and tell you what's actually going on. The government threatened tariffs, retreated, then placed tariffs, and then began carving out tariff exceptions for unconnected constituencies. We did some flashy military deportation flights and then stopped because they were incredibly expensive.

As a way to achieve this goal, Russia worked to help Donald J. Trump win the election.Eight years later, Trump sat in his oval office, sitting in a fuss with Ukrainian President Voldimir Zelensky, once again making his own judgment…
What does President Trump really believe in?Does he want to run in the third term or is that a joke? Does he intend to grab control of Gaza and expel millions of Palestinians, or is it just a proposal? Is Black History Month a waste of time and money, or is it worth a gorgeous celebration at the White House?Anyone looking for definitive answers has a hard time finding them.Since taking office, after returning to his position, Trump has occasionally used the dizzying rhetorical tactics of slowly changing positions and changing his message to a muddy, contradictory position on the…

By 2017, the true crime podcasting space might have already seemed crowded — but perhaps what it was missing was full body chills. That was the year Ashley Flowers and her pal Brit Prawat launched their true crime podcast Crime Junkie into an arena that already included pioneers like Serial (2014), Generation Why (2012), and My Favorite Murder (2016). The casual way Flowers narrated crimes to her friend, who responded with dramatic gasps and her trademark exclamation (“Full. Body.
