  1. Where do they keep finding these idiots?
    Party Of Science: Democrat Congressional Candidate Brianna Wu Doesn’t Know How Gravity Works
    U.S. House candidate Brianna Wu, a Massachusetts Democrat, is worried that people will drop rocks from the moon that will hit the earth and kill people.
    Wu, who gained notoriety after getting involved in the GamerGate controversy of 2014 and is now challenging sitting Rep. Stephen Lynch, tweeted that she isn’t happy about SpaceX’s plan to ferry private citizens to the moon by 2018, for reasons that will make your head explode.

  5. The Trump Era Unfolds.

    “Dow surpasses 21,000 for the first time ever”
    “Dow 20,000, we hardly knew ye.
    The Dow Jones industrial average surpassed the 21,000 mark on Wednesday for the first time ever — just 35 days after the blue-chip bellwether blew past 20,000 on optimism about President Donald Trump’s economic agenda.
    The index soared more than 200 points just moments after the open, as bank stocks surged on higher chances of an interest rate hike this month, while a more measured tone in President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday evening reassured investors.”

  9. Thanks for the link Daniel. Quite lengthy. The gaming crowd is a strange one indeed. I don’t know if I believe everything written there but even if only half is true, it’s enough.
    When’s the election? I look forward to seeing the results.

  10. LOVE ravens and crows! I used to have lunch at the dock, so I could take photos of those rascally packs of crows.

  11. Vancouver refugee with 54 criminal convictions argues to be freed
    Jacob Lunyamila has been ordered to remain in jail until he is deported back to Africa.
    Since Jacob Lunyamila, a Vancouver resident originally from Africa, got refugee status in 1996, he has racked up 95 criminal charges and 54 convictions in more than 400 interactions with police.
    He punched his ex-girlfriend in the face, and he has randomly attacked strangers. He has also been convicted of sexual assault and carrying a concealed weapon — an axe.
    As a result, Lunyamila has been deemed too dangerous to stay in Canada and ordered deported to his native country — believed to be Rwanda.
    But he remains here after failing to sign the necessary documents that would allow him to be sent back to the African nation.

    “One of the worst New Zealand summers on record”
    ““Summer never arrived” says The Guardian. “Weather patterns are to blame. Climate change is to blame. It doesn’t matter – she didn’t show.”
    “Summer, in the south especially, never showed,” says The Guardian.
    “The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research has called it one of the worst New Zealand summers on record.
    Cloudy and windy in the capital Wellington, and unusually cold in the south island, with 50cm of snow falling in January.”One of the worst New Zealand summers on record, with unusual cold and 50 cm of snow, and they blame “climate change.”
    You don’t suppose they would also have blamed “climate change” if it had been warmer than usual, do you?
    Nahhh. They wouldn’t do that, would they?
    Is it any wonder we don’t trust the mainstream media?”

  14. He/She is correct. The moon has a much shallower gravity well than the Earth. If there is large-scale human activity on the moon (mining water for rocket fuel, for instance), and they can send the product to orbit, then they can also send it on a collision course with earth.
    The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress had this idea as a central plot point, and the math works.

  17. Health care is a personal responsibility.
    Being overweight could increase the risk of a host of cancers…
    The new study by an international team adds weight to the warning, revealing that there is currently strong evidence for a link between excess body fat and an increased risk of 11 cancers: colon, rectum, endometrium, breast, ovary, kidney, pancreas, gastric cardia, biliary tract system and certain cancers of the esophagus and bone marrow.

    Engineering and economics are harsher ones.

  19. Or, maybe, it’s eating foods that cause an increase in the hormone that causes fat storage, insulin…processed foods full of starchy sugars, as well as sugar.
    Correlation is not causation.

  20. Should there be a revolving door between government and the people who scrutinize it?
    It’s been a steady stream of late out of the Parliamentary Press Gallery. Den Tandt joins former Postmedia stablemate Mark Kennedy, Canadian Press alum Bruce Cheadle, ex-CTV editor David Taylor (full disclosure: Taylor’s role involved assigning my partner), and two former CBC radio reporters, James Cudmore and James Fitz-Morris, all of whom have joined the Trudeau government.

    Hopefully this Tip does not get me accused falsely once again of supporting Putin.

  28. Subjective opinion…I guess that answers that 🙂
