Also check out the reading by Leonard Nimoy that was just posted today. It’s a good listen.

Hopefully they can get it stabilized to try and complete the mission. The space telescope they are going for will re-enter the atmosphere either way so it’s worth a shot. This is a cool mission, especially since this will probably be the last air-launched orbital space mission we will see for a long time, maybe ever.

Would it have made more sense for them to claim it was a secret mixture of stuff that destroys concrete? If the engineers were obligated to check the structure because they didn’t know what was sprayed on it, that would have delayed construction, even if the liquid was pretty benign.

This is why it is important to vote in local elections including your town’s school board. Seriously, someone actually thought this was a good idea, hopefully this comes around to bite them in the next election.

The US did this with goatheads (plant with horribly spiky seeds) they introduced a weevil from India that eats them.

Is Xiang Yu mentioned in this episode the same person as the villain from Mulan?

Although they are both stories based on historical events that have been embellished, the Trojan war and the Hebrews leaving Egypt very well could have been happening at the same time (around 1180 BCE)

C’mon, you agreed to stab him.

Man, he’s already been stabbed 22 times, he’s definitely dead now, there’s no point.

But you agreed!

Fine stabs there, see, I did it. He’s not really any deader than he was before though.

Alright, who’s next?

Rest of the senators: NOPE

-Federal government still technically exists but has barely any ability to do anything -Everything privatized including police and emergency services -Wealthy live in gated communities while most of the population lives in corporate owned slums -Leader of a megachurch is trying to take over the world

Yeah, this one really seems like we are heading in that direction.

Shatters and hits anyone trying to shoot it with shrapnel, sounds like a win to me.

Little Brother is pretty good!

Parable of the sower does have some pretty graphic violence in it though from what I remember, if 1984 is considered not age appropriate I think that one would not be either.
