You post, "say", a bunch of worthless ... maybe don't throw rocks from your glass house, bud.
You're one to talk about worthless posting
I simply just reply to worthless posts.

Yes, your constant spamming is boring and unnecessary.
"no talking at night"
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opi...t-20361753.phpTexas lawmakers trying to muzzle campus protests have just passed one of the most ridiculous anti-speech laws in the country. If signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, Senate Bill 2972 would ban speech at night — from study groups to newspaper reporting — at public universities in the state.
Ironically, the bill builds on a previous law passed in 2019 meant to enshrine free speech on Texas campuses. But now, lawmakers want to crack down on college students’ pro-Palestinian protests so badly that they literally passed a prohibition on talking.
We’re not exaggerating. SB 2972 would require public universities in Texas to adopt policies prohibiting “engaging in expressive activities on campus between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.” Expressive activity includes “any speech or expressive conduct” protected by the First Amendment or Texas Cons ution.
The overnight ban on expressive activities is unfathomably broad. Off the top of our heads, here are just a few examples of what such a policy would prohibit on campus between 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.: Meeting with other students to socialize or study, writing an email, working on a research paper, posting on social media, reporting for the student newspaper, wearing a T-shirt with a slogan, dancing, playing music, painting a picture, or praying at a sunrise service.
Wake up in the mood to write about how much you like the First Amendment? You’d better wait till the clock strikes 8. Maybe go to the campus dining hall and get some breakfast first — just make sure it’s self-service, so you don’t need to talk to anyone during the silent hours.
Are universities likely to enforce their statutorily mandated policies banning overnight speech against students engaged in speech like that? Probably not. But they could, and that shows just how sloppy and overbroad this law is.
It’s also possible that universities will use such policies selectively to crack down on disfavored speech. If administrators find out, for instance, that the student newspaper’s editors discussed and wrote an editorial ripping a university policy to shreds while on campus in the wee hours of the morning, the ban on overnight speech would provide a solid tool for retaliation.
It’s unlikely that lawmakers intended to ban students’ talking to each other overnight; that possible outcome may be due to really poor draftsmanship. Based on legislators’ statements, they clearly mean for the university policies required by the law to prohibit overnight protests. But that, too, violates the First Amendment.
wrecking perfectly good satellites because data is too woke...is very woke
(what's with Sean Duffy running two US agencies?)
https://www.npr.org/2025/08/04/nx-s1...ion-threatenedThe Trump administration has asked NASA employees to draw up plans to end at least two major satellite missions, according to current and former NASA staffers. If the plans are carried out, one of the missions would be permanently terminated, because the satellite would burn up in the atmosphere.
The data the two missions collect is widely used, including by scientists, oil and gas companies and farmers who need detailed information about carbon dioxide and crop health. They are the only two federal satellite missions that were designed and built specifically to monitor planet-warming greenhouse gases.
It is unclear why the Trump administration seeks to end the missions. The equipment in space is state of the art and is expected to function for many more years, according to scientists who worked on the missions. An official review by NASA in 2023 found that "the data are of exceptionally high quality" and recommended continuing the mission for at least three years.
Both missions, known as the Orbiting Carbon Observatories, measure carbon dioxide and plant growth around the globe. They use identical measurement devices, but one device is attached to a stand-alone satellite while the other is attached to the International Space Station. The standalone satellite would burn up in the atmosphere if NASA pursued plans to terminate the mission.
NASA employees who work on the two missions are making what the agency calls Phase F plans for both carbon-monitoring missions, according to David Crisp, a longtime NASA scientist who designed the instruments and managed the missions until he retired in 2022. Phase F plans lay out options for terminating NASA missions.
Crisp says NASA employees making those termination plans have reached out to him for his technical expertise. "What I have heard is direct communications from people who were making those plans, who weren't allowed to tell me that that's what they were told to do. But they were allowed to ask me questions," Crisp says.
"They were asking me very sharp questions. The only thing that would have motivated those questions was [that] somebody told them to come up with a termination plan."
Three other academic scientists who use data from the missions confirmed that they, too, have been contacted with questions related to mission termination. All three asked for anonymity because they are concerned that speaking about the mission termination plans publicly could endanger the jobs of the NASA employees who contacted them.
Two current NASA employees also confirmed that NASA mission leaders were told to make termination plans for projects that would lose funding under President Trump's proposed budget for the next fiscal year, or FY 2026, which begins Oct. 1. The employees asked to remain anonymous, because they were told they would be fired if they revealed the request.

Your party has been nothing more than a money laundering operation for decades
That's never going to change because at the end of the day you libs will fall in line and do what your told...you always do
thanks for reciting the only take that you have
it's the only take you ever have
you don't even listen to yourself, I don't buy that you pay attention to what other people post at all
I've never seen a person actively want ty leadership and the destruction of the country the way you do. All for internet beef.
