    Meanwhile here in Washington state, we have a state senator Matt Shea who supports white nationalists as well. Seattle may be liberal, but go east of the mountains and you'll find far right people...

    The sheer magnitude of what is happening is nearly impossible for my brain to comprehend.

    Astronomers have spotted a distant pair of titanic black holes headed for a collision.

    Each black hole's mass is more than 800 million times that of our sun.

    The sheer magnitude of what is happening is nearly impossible for my brain to comprehend.

    Sounds about right. I don't think anything will change unless this kind of attention continues to put pressure on them. We're just scratching the surface of this pollution issue.

    I recently found I enjoyed melodic electronic music and began listening to The Glitch Mob's "Drink the Sea". Its not very heavy compared to other electronic artists and is great to write code to.
