Donald Trump Is An A**hole, Philly Mayor Says

The mayor of Philadelphia didn’t mince words when asked about Donald Trump’s recent remarks on Muslims.

Even in Death, Carl Sagan never ceases to inspire.

Carl Sagan on human exploration of space:

Human beings are a curious, inquisitive, exploratory species.

I think that has been the secret of our success as a species.

We now have reached a point in human history, when all the Earth is explored; there are no new places to explore on the Earth.

At just this moment, these spacecraft permit us, in a halting, tentative, preliminary way, to leave the Earth and examine our surroundings in space.

An enterprise which I believe is in the truest human tradition of exploration and discovery.

We are at an epochal moment. Our machines, and eventually ourselves, are going out into space. I believe that the history of our species will never again be the same.

We have committed ourselves to space, and I do not think we are about to turn back.

Artefacts from the Earth are spinning out into the cosmos. I believe the time will come when most human cultures will be engaged in an activity we might describe as a dandelion going to seed.

honourable mention of course to Abra:

but the winner is:

“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand
