That black hole. LOL
I did something like that the first time I picked up an airbrush 40 years ago.
Milton Bradley should come out with a “Pet Black Hole” for $29.99 and free shipping, and they’ll double it (just pay separate fee) for free if you order in the next 30 minutes.

Dem prez candidates – Bernie, Biden, Beto and Buttigieg, a wanna be communist has been, a hair plugged groping molestor, a narcissistic toothy faker, and a snickering turd burglar.
They sure know how to pick em, eh?
And that’s just the white doods!
Where my shadez iz?
(the future’s so bright)
On the other hand, AOC is certainly smarter than the people who elected her, and who will most likely re-elect her.

As it turns out, the woman credited with making the black-hole photo possible wrote 2 percent of the 900,000 lines of code required for the photo. One man on the large team wrote 80 percent of the code lines.
To be fair to the woman, she never claimed the credit that the woke-intersectional-feminist-obsessed media (but I repeat myself) granted her on the basis of no actual facts at all. In fact, she told an interviewer that 24 of the team all agreed to press the display-photo button at exactly the same time so that no one person would be the first viewer.
That black hole article has uber cool graphics…. many thanks as always Gerard! You link the most interesting stuff on a regular basis. Much appreciated.

One of the things that really astounds me about Bugsy, is the evident pride she displays in her abysmal stupidity. There are rare moments when I’m envious of people like her, due entirely to the fact that they are incapable of being embarrassed. Reminds me of Benjamin Franklin’s “Fart Proudly” comment.
The name and nationality of the poachers were not released.
That means it was not a bunch white men.
It would be rayciss if they told us that the poachers were african.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
