In 1985 Rockwell thought that there might be a business case for a small unmanned spaceplane for recon purposes. At the time, the answer was apparently no… but within a few years Rockwell developed the “REFLY” spaceplane which, over a span of a couple decades, transmorgified into the X-37B which has flown a handful of top secret long duration missions.
The dumbth overfloweth.
Meet the Woman Bringing Social Justice to Astrology
Nicholas, in her 40s, is transforming horoscopes from generalizations about finding true love and stumbling into financial good fortune to pointed calls to action with a left-leaning, social-justice agenda.
Is this stupid? You betcha. Do I support it? You betcha. I want all the lefties and SJWs to put more and more of their faith into patent bullshit.
This is of course nothing new. The left wing war on science, on rationality, on not being a freakin’ loon continues.
… but I’ma use it as evidence anyway:

This whole thing has been a farce since day one. This basically confirms it.
Sometime in 2007 or 2008 my neighbors gave me a cat they’d found wandering the streets and in a bad way, her paws all tore up. Tak The Hideous New Girl went with me when I briefly moved from Utah to Maryland and back in 2008, but sometime around 2010 she moved on to a new home, finding a place of comfort with my Mom and, later, Bruce the cat. This morning, after an extended illness, Tak died on the way to the vet.
Some photos from when Tak was a Utah cat, living with Koshka and Raedthinn. All three are gone now, and far, far too soon.
Tak was a good cat.

Looks not unlike a Starfleet logo, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s also not much more than a modest modification of the Space Command logo:
So anyone yapping about Trump ripping off Star Trek and there needing to be a copyright infringement lawsuit? Yeah, not so much.
Infected people seen dead in streets’ of quarantined China Coronavirus city Wuhan
Video shows dead bodies in halls of Chinese hospital…
10 cases of Wuhan Virus now in California…
Coronavirus: hunt for 2,000 travellers who flew from Wuhan to Britain in last fortnight
China Building A Hospital To Treat Virus, Expands Lockdowns To 10 Cities
Well, this looks potentially disturbing in a Twilight Zone/ Black Mirror sort of way…
I bet you that a reasonable fraction of the people who hyperventilate about “racism” and “homo/trans/Islamo/whateverphobia” have their own screamingly insane hatreds. Ladies and gentlemen, behold the blithering bigotry of your betters:
“No Capricorns Allowed”: A Deep Dive Into Zodiac Hate
As if belief in astrology in the era past Galileo and Newton and Einstein and von braun and Goddard wasn;t stupid enough, there are a substantial number of people who use astrological “signs” as a way to hate and discriminate.
Gah.
The Dangerous Rise Of Men Who Won’t Date “Woke” Women
It’s pretty much what you’d expect: men who won’t date women who hate men are all far right racist misogynists. Rather dull and boring in it’s tired and cliched way. But it’s the responses that make the existence of this editorial worthwhile:
“The dangerous rise of men who won’t have sex with me.”
Careful Vicki, you’re sounding like an incel.
No one owes you a relationship, sweetie
Nobody owes anybody anything, much less a date or a relationship. So if you display a hateful ideology, such as modern straight-white-man-hating wokeness, then, yeah, a whole lot of guys are not going to find you too terribly desirable. *Some* people certainly go looking for a relationship specifically to make themselves miserable, because some people are masochists. But most people aren’t. Men look for partners who will make them feel happy and/or satisfied and/or wanted. Wokeness provides none of this.
And then this review of the article on YouTube, with a reasonably hilarious title: “Get woke, die alone.”
And Tim Pool, leftist non-white guy, is similarly unimpressed:
Greenpeace included with neo-Nazis on UK counter-terror list
The reason given for including Greenpeace here was not what I would have. I fully expect that in the fullness of time, the evil that Greenpeace has done to western civilization by setting back progress by the better part of a *century* through their anti-nuclear activism will be seen as an evil far exceeding that of the neo-Nazis and likely up there with the *real* Nazis. through fearmongering, intimidation and lies, Greenpeace has successfully served the interests of their dead Soviet masters and turned the western world into scientifically backwards fodder for conquest. Were it not for Greenpeace and their ilk, we could be several generations further along in nuclear power. The US could have several terawatts of installed nuclear electricity; coal and natural gas might well be on their way out. We could have nuclear reactors on the Moon and Mars powering manned bases. Our economy could be several times larger; our atmosphere substantially less loaded with carbon dioxide. Greenpeace ᚲᚨᚾ᛫ᚷᛟ᛫ᛋᛏᚱᚨᛁᚷᚺᛏ᛫ᛏᛟ᛫ᚺᛖᛚᛚ.
