POLITICS: Dune Joke at Trump Expense
Aug. 23rd, 2019 11:30 amJeet Heer accidentally triggered a better joke in the comments, but the Manhattan Vandal's got a ways to travel to get that title added to his list of ascribed "honours"...say, roughly 310 lightyears to the Canopus system!

Noting that today, whilst walking around my neighbourhood on a shopping errands and doing yard work, I've spotted bees, a cricket(!) and...possibly a millipede. Are they the ones with "fur" coats?
On the matter of exoplanets around nearby stars:

(Did I remove "Beta Pictoris" from my list of tags? No, I didn't!)
Current "confirmed" count as of 20 August 2019 at exoplanet.eu, FYI: 4107. Ninety more worlds confirmed in the space of about three months.
And a physicist may have useful data on how to mess with hatemongers online:

Yes, this is self-repetition.
I don't know if this will make getting around town easier or more difficult yet. I do think OC Transpo is dreaming in VR if they believe this will let them reduce the number of buses in the fleet. Those buses no longer running through the downtown core will be needed to feed into and out of the O-Train lines at least 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. And to feed each other in those places that the O-Train lines don't directly connect. And the trips/hour frequency on all those bus routes will have to amp up.
