With a virus that eats brains, no less!

"Farah and his team realized they could calculate how much the gap between the bumps would decrease next...and discovered the fourth bump appeared exactly when they expected it would." I can't imagine anything that would be more exciting to a scientist then to come up with a hypothesis, make an...

No coercion, but a whole lot of fraud deceit. As I recall, the Powers That Be ended up implementing a Final Solution, shipping off the "morons" to Venus to die on the pretense that they were colonizing, erm, Venus. If "killing the inferior" isn't eugenics, I don't know what is. Edit: Better...

"Will those roles become politicized?" Is Betteridge rolling in his grave? :rolleyes:

The biggest moon. The best moon. Nobody's ever seen a moon like it. Maybe call it Golden Moon instead.

I worry that all these ideas for sending multiple satellites violate the letter of the law, which only authorizes a single satellite. That'd be an invitation for one of the competitors to submit a plan for a single satellite and then sue NASA should they select a combo package. Comm lasers...

You may as well paint a bullseye on the satellite in that case!

"the Jumpseat spacecraft loitered high over the Arctic, Russia, Canada, and Greenland...." Alaska and Norway say hi.

I think you're reading too much into "consequences". Musk is threatening to...close accounts and delete (or "delete") their stuff. And what could be more terrifying than having your Twitter account deleted? Whatever would you do? /s

"South Carolina’s outbreak appears on track to rival, if not surpass...." I don't understand the distinction. Uhm, help?

My plan is to be eaten alive by a school of angry fish.

Really, really cool — femtokelvins, even!

With apologies to Hillary Clinton: It takes a colony to raise a larva. The physical characteristics of an ant are not solely the result of its parents, but also of the workers that raise them. By moving larvae around, or feeding them different diets, the behavior of worker ants affects the...

I expected well-organized garbage anti-vaccine presentations. Although, to be honest, it's not like they've shown a lot of competence in general. The fact they're a bunch of dunderheads is the biggest thing keeping them from making a total mess of everything. Edit: I forgot to a word.

Maybe this is the year of the Linux sweater?

Don't anthropomorphize the immune system. It hates it when you do that.

It's got a long shelf life.

"it becomes hard to tell where the government offered any defense of its options at all" John, did you mean actions?
