Come on NASA,

The shuttle and now the Orion spacecraft have been and are designed by congressmen and women for make work projects in their states.

The shuttle, although a marvel of engineering, was a death trap due to putting the most venerable structures down the stack.

ISS is a fantastic endeavour, but its low earth orbit and NASA has been struggling with a new direction for decades. The moon... no wait... asteroids... no wait... Mars... hold on... the moon.

Just PICK ONE, at least DOUBLE the funding to NASA and make whatever new project a national initiative. The American space industry can do unbelievable things when the proper foresight is put is place backed by money. (hay, maybe take some out of the military complex?!).

We will see if the Moon remains a target for NASA, maybe that will change when your current "leader" is removed... I am mean voted out of his "office".

I just realized something, something that says how far we've come: This video is remarkable because these guys are fantastic dancers, not because they're two men getting married.

What a fantastic idyllic life. Not a single black, hispanic, or asian face in view.

All I could think was GET OUT!!!

Yeah, there is an overarching story. IMO, it gradually improves, and by ep 5 it's really hitting its stride.

Ep6 is fantastic.

I remember watching Hannah at the Raw Comedy comp in 2006 and knew she should win, and she rightly did.

A fantastic comedian and an all around good egg.

I had a buddy who had a hot tub and switched his to bromine and damn was it an improvement. No bleaching of swim suits, no skin reactions, no smell. Fantastic.

Because Libya and Syria are the same situation as North Korea, and put us on the brink of nuclear war. Fantastic logic there. While we're on it, why not bring up Iraq and Afghanistan? Clearly Bush also wanted to nuke NK.

OK, the actual statement made by Melania's camp (as seen on screen at 1:10):
"I don't believe Mrs. Trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with Mr. Giuliani."

That's a pretty significant nudge. To me, pretty clearly says "don't put words in my mouth". You can infer it as "don't put words in my mouth, you weaselly little prick", but the statement itself is pretty carefully reserved in the exact wording.

Newsworthy? Sure. But to me, I think a good journalist (and I'd usually include Anderson Cooper in that camp) should show the statement itself, without any opinion or commentary first, and then make a distinct segue showing that we're now moving into pundit's reactions and opinions.

The lead here was "First Lady Melania Trump's Office Fires Back at Rudy Giuliani Over His Remarks About Stormy Daniels". That just seems a bit clickbait-y to me. "Fires Back" requires reading between the lines of the statement itself. Accurate? Probably. But I think they should have honored the carefully worded nature of the actual statement and gone with something like ..."Responds to" instead of "Fires Back".

Furthermore, they should have kept the full text of the statement itself up on the screen during the whole reaction/opinion portion segment where Cooper and the other talking heads discuss things. By all means, discuss. I even mostly agree with their interpretations and take on the situation. But keep the text of the actual statement up so that viewers can decide for themselves.


The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was actually fantastic for hoisting people on their own petard by fairly and accurately showing their actual statements and reacting to them -- no bait and switch / obfuscation necessary. Stewart's kind of subtlety in pointing out contradictions and bullshit was awesome.

I guess I feel like the best response to Trump's "Fake News" shtick is to be doubly rigorous when it comes to journalistic integrity. Trump's gonna give you plenty of ammo to use against him. Use it, but do it in such a way that any allegations of bias or unfairness are clearly wrong.

I just wish they'd actually use Kiplings prose (minus the kinda racist bits).

His writing was fantastic and it's sad not to see it used.

Damn -- "video is not available". I love Grohl speeches, interviews, etc. His South By Southwest Keynote is absolutely fantastic. I don't think I can invoke related on that, but it might be worth doing.

Do TRS-80 games next and watch these kids boggle in amazement that anyone found those games fun.

"Temple of Apshai" was effing AMAZING for its time, not to mention the fantastic depths of writing characterized by the Infocom games.
