Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell
Not my cup of tea, actually, but clearly he was popular for a reason. I did like him in Rocky Horror.
I’m only saying his politics may have directly led to his death, like so many others.
But you're not saying he was a bad performer and singer, right?
And if you say yes, I want a divorce! ðŸ˜
Tenacious D does the Time Warp
Love it.
Relatedly, this hallowe'en night there's a special Rocky Horror Show fundraising live stream for Wisconson. They'll have Tim Curry among others, and a fair line-up of bands too.
Unfortunately as a filthy foreigner I'm forbidden from attending or influencing your elections. I won't ruin the surprise and tell you what party it's for 🤔

Stranger Aliens
Devil's advocate:
First up, If we're looking for "something we can't imagine", by definition we are unable to search for it.
Second, there's every possibility that aliens ARE very similar to us. There's a principle known as the Mediocrity Principle that states that if you pick a thing at random from a set, it's more likely to common than unusual. In this case, we are picking from the (hypothetical) set of life-sustaining planets, and using the only example we're aware of: Earth.
It's not unreasonable to assume that Earth is typical of life-sustaining planets. There doesn't appear to be anything particularly special about it.... it's a rocky planet in the "Goldilocks zone" where water is liquid. We've found plenty of those.
So there's actually a good possibility that life on other planets could face the same evolutionary pressures and arrive at the same solutions.
Aliens might not be that different at all.

Go Rockies.

You're just a reminder of how horrible a team the Giants are, and how amazing the Rockies are. I however am overjoyed that you are willing to test the waters. Welcome back Tell your woman to get up in here also.
OK, fine, I'll dabble, but the first time someone brings up politics on a non political vid, Imma go murderin'
All the Small Thing - PMJ ft. Puddles Pity Party
Someone in the YouTube comments mentioned that too! Requested PMJ cover the whole album of music Rocky Horror!
Dunno about everyone else, but I get a sort of Rocky Horror vibe from this.

Whole New Worlds: An Aladdin History of Exoplanets
Wasn't easy being a planet hunter back in the day *promote
I'm looking for
1 tug
The pull of a planet
1 tell
A wobbling sun
I've searched for years
Haven't found a one
But they're out there
1 jump
In radial redshift
1 slip
Of spectral lines
They'll see if I can show them the sines
Pish tosh
Green men
Take five
Take ten
Just a little cash guys
Budget's tight
Don't fund this trash guys
I can take a hint
Better face the facts
Second-hand'll have to do
Eww
All you planet hunters at the bottom
You've got fact & fantasy entwined
Finding planets except they haven't got one
Well they gotta be forming readily
When you think about it given we've got nine
1 jump
A blip in the spectrum
1 shift of meters per second
1 graph of period power
They laugh but I'm not sour
Here goes
18 months of data
Cross & correlate it
All I gotta do is run
Pish tosh
Green men
Ah don't mind them
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a pure void
No sirree
They'd find out
There's worlds galore
To see
Make way for Pegasi
51 Pegasi
First was a world
Round an old pulsar
That's true
But the news
Is a sun-like star
With wobble
Too quick & precise
To be designed
No fluke not a spot
If you like it hot
You're gonna love this find
Pegasi 51b
Planet discovered
Orbit traced
Every 4 days
Hot as can be
Its order-Jupiter size
Was something of a surprise
Especially given its star's proximity
Pegasi 51b
It's a new era
To detect
Exoplanets
Soon there'll be three
As planet pulls on its Sun
It shifts the stellar spectrum
That's how we found 51b Pegasi
How'd a planet get so close in orbit
Cause I thought you needed ice to form it
Did it later undergo some strange migration
Star too small to be so long-pulsating
And too old to be so quick rotating
Is there any other good interpretation
This will certainly help with our funding
We got your funding
We got your funding
Got a surface of 1200 C
It's treacherous
So treacherous
If in time this new breakthrough feels mundane
Planets are common
That's proof
Of the truth
I've been telling you
This is no mean anomaly
Pegasi 51b
Planet uncovered
Round a far
Main sequence star
Spectral type G
We know its mass to be high
Half Jupiter by sine i
It's 15.61 pc from home
And it shakes our faith in how planets are formed
And its star is in Pegasus
Give it an A and thus
Label the planet as b
51 Pegasi
Plotting Doppler shifts is glacial-pace
And that astrometry never prevails
But baby you're in luck cause
Up in space
You got a planet-finder never fails
You got the power of statistics now
You got a view without an atmosphere
So no more nights spent locked up in your tower
All you gotta do is wait right here
And I say
Kepler the planet-searcher
Got a dip, no 2, no 3
We just measure brightness
Plot it out & that's transiting photometry
When your stars do this
And your curves displace
Then your star's got this
Transiting its face
Then you hit compute
And lookie here
You get good diameter data
From that dip
And orbit distance from the length of year
Well now we need this tale supported by
A ground observer with a good Échelle
We got 2000 planets certified
2000 more that only time will tell
But let's take em all, plot em out
And find out if we're really all alone
Is there a rocky world we've found no doubt
That orbits in the habitable zone
Like home?
Kepler the planet searcher
Got an Earth 452b
Part of a throng
40 billion strong
There ain't never been a field
Clever as the field
There ain't never been a field
Better than the field they call
Exoplanetology
I can show you a world
A shining shimmering planet
Found concealed in the band-shifts
Of the closest star in sight
I've found hope in the skies
And facing wonder I wonder
Could the sine wave discovered be
A planet fit for life
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of blue
Placed in that narrow zone
Where water flows
Midway tween cold & steaming
A whole new world
Its sun a faint, reddish hue
Could there be waiting here
A biosphere
Evolving in this whole new world to view
Fathoming a whole new world to view
Unbelievable find
Indescribable feeling
Earthlings someday revealing
Through directly captured light
A whole new world
Don't just stare from a far
Though nigh impossible to see
Wouldn't close up be bolder
Next to its parent's flair
If life is there
We'll know through atmosphere spectroscopy
A whole new world
Block the glare of the star
A laser starshot to pursue
With a star-shaped occulter
Chasing that crazy dream
That's always been
Of walking in a whole new world with you
a whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A home in space
For you and me
Baseball games are longer than ever. Here's why.
Brisbee is the shit even if he roots for those bastards by the bay. If you're even just a casual fan I'd recommend reading his articles over at McCovey Chronicles. Go Rockies.
Worst Ninja Movie Ever?
I'm having fun envisioning other movies taking a cue from this one and having the characters' wardrobes state their role. Jurassic Park geneticists in lab coats with "Scientist" on them, Rocky wearing shorts that say "Boxer" across his ass, James Bond in his "Spy" suit...
