It’s really quite uncanny that every criticism of Marco Rubio for this entire career gave him the benefit of the doubt about his sincerity, motives, and intelligence. It’s just a dumbshit MAGA dick. He’s always been one.

Friend, that's how you get linguists specializing in regional naming conventions in your replies.

And it did.

@schwa oops.
My first prints were abs and they were flawless. Incredible
I’m really wanting a second ams.
80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.
The good?
Eight decades without World War III.
Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.
But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.
80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.
@EUCommission 80 years of peace within members of the EU is indeed remarkable.
Unfortunately the current EC does not show great "dialogue" skills. For example the orange guy in Washington easily won recently, with a score of 15% against 0.
Given the shit way 2026 started it is time to play some #RushTheBand! Hit me your favs songs fitting for this time and space ?!

Cloud-9 is a galaxy with practically no stars in it - just gas and a large amount of dark matter! It seems to be a remnant of early galaxy formation: a 'failed galaxy' that never produced stars.
The core of this object, marked with the dashed circle here, is made of neutral hydrogen and is about 4,900 light-years in diameter. Researchers detected it by the radio waves it emits, and used these to estimate that the gas cloud is about one million times the mass of the Sun.
But assuming that Cloud-9 is held together against the pressure of the gas by gravity, a team estimated that its total mass must be more like five billion solar masses!
The rest of the mass is theorized to be dark matter. So: Cloud-9 may be a 'dark galaxy': a galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter. For more, read this:
There are other candidate dark galaxies, some much more massive:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_galaxy
'Smith's cloud' is a fascinating small example. It's currently moving towards the disk of the Milky Way at about 75 kilometers per second - but extrapolating backwards, it seems to have gone through the Milky Way before!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%27s_Cloud
People, especially those who aren't astrophysicists, like to cast scorn on dark matter. But any alternative theory for what's going on has to explain a lot of very phenomena, including these peculiar galaxies with almost no stars, that act much heavier than the gas in them can explain. I'm hoping that dark matter will someday be understood, and that this will lead to a great breakthrough in particle physics. For now, patient astronomers keep collecting evidence.
@johncarlosbaez Can we maybe drop "failed galaxy" and call it a "differently successful galaxy"?

@StefanEJones yeah - a sad day.
The #US gov is lying, like always for the past year
It is SO VERY CLEAR that Renee Nicole Good was murdered by Jonathan Ross
Abolish #ICE
His fee-fees were hurt by the fact that Renee was so calm and cool. A woman should NOT be that way. If he just wanted to kill someone, he would have killed her wife, who was provoking. But, no, he wanted that cool as a cucumber woman in the driver's seat, literally. So, he does what no officer is supposed to do, put himself in front of the vehicle. His opinion of her is in his last statement, "fuckin' bitch." Then he walked calmly to the crashed vehicle to take trophy pictures.

This continues to be one of the best setup/punchline pairs I've heard in dialogue. It's just so good.
