Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?
Seems like this should be the line that we're circulating. He was stupid, but I guess thanks for being clear-eyed about your stupidity?
Do we all know about NASA's Artemis II dashboard? Live 3D flight path, interactive, to scale, selectable live camera feeds (!) www.nasa.gov/missions/art...
The Good Place was probably on to something… Chidi: About this party… Is Aristotle gonna be there? Janet: Sorry, Chidi, Aristotle’s in the Bad Place. He defended slavery. C: Socrates? J: No, too annoying. Very loud chewer. C: Plato? J: Slavery again. Oh, you know who is here? Hypatia of Alexandria.

How many Trump voters do you think play for the Utah Symphony? Here’s where they live (source www.nytimes.com/interactive/...):
Correction: per NYT, I think that 1.8T number is mislabeled here. Doesn’t seem like the senior bonus piece is nearly that large. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
