Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis in Florida is not going to model legislation route. He is blazing a unique trail of unbridled fascism, including disenfranchisement of voters, takeover of state universities by hand-picked right wing cronies, including Christopher Rufo (the liar who started the critical race theory panic), banning of Black history, and the complete censorship of all non-curriculum reading material from every K-12 classroom in the state.

Astronomers say they have spotted the #universe’s first #stars

These long-sought “Population III” stars would have been ginormous balls of #hydrogen and #helium sculpted from the universe’s primordial gas.

"We exist, therefore we know there must have been a first generation of stars."

Maybe some of the people at the College Board should sign up for their own European History course so that they can learn about how many groups were complicit in the rise of fascism by refusing to stand against its repressive demands.

Clearly it’s a lesson they haven’t learned…

Ah google is now reporting my new coffee roasting website as a "deceptive site"

That's frustrating.

Anyone want to help disabuse google of that notion?

Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky said it detected three versions of Prilex (06.03.8080, 06.03.8072, and 06.03.8070) that are capable of targeting NFC-enabled credit cards, taking its criminal scheme a notch higher. https://thehackernews.com/2023/02/prilex-pos-malware-evolves-to-block.html

A reminder that, in the real world where people live and work, “Cancel Culture” is usually perpetrated by Republicans purging people for being insufficiently deferential to white Christian power.

Republican apparatchiks just fired a University President so they could replace her with a white supremacist.

Most valuable career guidance I've come across in a long time was given by Steve Gibson in his latest podcast.

my best advice for picking a career, any career, has never changed: first and foremost follow your heart over your wallet. Many people with fat wallets and thin lives. Find something you love and work to get really good at it. You’ll enjoy the process of getting good at it and then you’ll love being good at it.

FBI searching Biden’s home in Rehoboth Beach

I want to know why the FBI isn’t searching every residence Trump owns, including the golf course his ex-wife is buried on? How can Biden be under more scrutiny than the guy who admitted he STOLE Top Secret documents!! #GarlandFailure
