Tyson and Bill Nye are terrible science ambassadors.

Beekman, AvE, and those Ukranian kids that keep cooking their own ballsacks with disassembled microwave ovens while the russians shell their neighborhood are good science ambassadors

I’m not sure how they’ll make money. Their entire previous business model was porn and fishmech.

this will be a huge step toward profitability because their userbase will drop 90% but the hosting bill will drop 99.9%

Are Beto's actual politics anywhere to the left of Hillary Clinton? In the event he won for Senate I'd expect he'd immediately pivot right, and he didn't start off that far left in the first place as far as I can tell.

That shift right started as soon as he won the primary and the fact that all the same lanyards getting thigh cramps over him are the same ones telling AOC to sit down and shut up is all anyone needs to know.

Bernie is the compromise candidate and the entire party establishment must be destroyed.

LMFAO

Cohen Sentencing Letter posted:

To be clear, neither the SCO nor this Office is making a motion under U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1.
No such motion is being made because, as detailed herein, Cohen repeatedly declined to provide full information about the scope of any additional criminal conduct in which he may have engaged
or had knowledge. However, this Office acknowledges and agrees that Cohen’s provision of
information to the SCO in connection with its investigation is a mitigating factor that the Court
should consider in imposing sentence. Indeed, Cohen’s provision of information to the SCO is the
reason that this Office is not seeking a Guidelines sentence here, but rather is acknowledging that
a modest variance is appropriate.

While Cohen’s provision of information to the SCO merits credit, his description of his
actions as arising solely from some “personal resolve” – as opposed to arising from the pendency
of criminal charges and the desire for leniency – ignores that Cohen first reached out to meet with
the SCO at a time when he knew he was under imminent threat of indictment in this District. As
such, any suggestion by Cohen that his meetings with law enforcement reflect a selfless and
unprompted about-face are overstated.

With respect to Cohen’s provision of information to this Office, in its two meetings with him, this Office assessed Cohen to be forthright and credible, and the information he provided was
largely consistent with other evidence gathered. Had Cohen actually cooperated, it could have been fruitful: He did provide what could have been useful information about matters relating to
ongoing investigations being carried out by this Office. But as Cohen partially acknowledges, it
was his decision not to pursue full cooperation, and his professed willingness to continue to provide information at some later unspecified time is of limited value to this Office, both because he is
under no obligation to do so, and because the Office’s inability to fully vet his criminal history and
reliability impact his utility as a witness.

Indeed, his proffer sessions with the SCO aside, Cohen only met with the Office about the
participation of others in the campaign finance crimes to which Cohen had already pleaded guilty.

Cohen specifically declined to be debriefed on other uncharged criminal conduct, if any, in his
past.

Cohen further declined to meet with the Office about other areas of investigative interest.
As the Court is undoubtedly aware, in order to successfully cooperate with this Office, witnesses must undergo full debriefings that encompass their entire criminal history, as well as any and all
information they possess about crimes committed by both themselves and others. This process permits the Office to fully assess the candor, culpability, and complications attendant to any potential cooperator, and results in cooperating witnesses who, having accepted full responsibility for any and all misconduct, are credible to law enforcement and, hopefully, to judges and juries.

Cohen affirmatively chose not to pursue this process. Cohen’s efforts thus fell well short of
cooperation, as that term is properly used in this District.

For this reason, Cohen is not being offered a cooperation agreement or a 5K1.1 letter.

https://www.yourdailyjournal.com/news/84272/taking-war-to-the-woodshed

quote:

HAMLET — On Oct. 17, 1983, Thomas Schoonover’s father chopped down 14 walnut trees.

“Stay out of trouble,” he said, pointing at the pile of scrap wood, to a 20-year-old Schoonover who was fresh from three years of brutal action as a turret mechanic in the Army during the United States’ invasion of Grenada. Schoonover had been crafting with wood since he was 11 years old and, for the next 20 years, his hobby would become his refuge as he grappled with the things he had seen.

His time in the service left him with post-traumatic stress disorder. He was depressed and angry with an uncompromising frustration — against what, it’s not clear. But that day in 1983 was the day he committed to doing something positive instead of sinking deeper.

“It kept me out of trouble,” said the New Jersey-native, now 55. “I was one of the few people that didn’t end up in jail or doing drugs … the black sheep.”

The invasion of Grenada started 2 weeks later and lasted 96 hours.
