Counterpoint, it won't "hang over" Joe's reelection bid because he's not the one on trial. The article even quotes someone pointing out that voters don't care about guilt by association in a situation like this.

I don't think they can recognize the flyswatter, but they do seem to find a sudden increase in movement around them suspicious. Move slowly and strike from close up.

It's making search engines useless, for one thing.

One of the founders of Reddit mentioned in an interview a while back that it was all bots when it started, to give the illusion of being populated when it was too new to have any users except the people who worked on it. From bots it came, and to bots it will return. The circle of life.

On top of that, every country in the world would have to be collaborating in keeping it a secret

And that's why conspiracy beliefs always end up including a global conspiracy. It's like solipsism; the whole world has to be in on the deception or it doesn't work.

The former president told the group he had a "plan of attack" from a senior military official. Trump characterized the document as "highly confidential" and "secret information" and noted that "as president I could have declassified it.

Sounds like it's the document that was thought to be a plan for invading Iran. There were so many news stories about this, Trump was caught on tape admitting to a crime, but for some reason he wasn't being charged for this document specifically. Now it looks like he is.

Looks like there's nothing that crazy that we didn't already know; Trump changed his travel plans so he could be present at Mar-a-Lago when his attorneys searched for the classified documents he was hiding from them, basically.

This looks amazing. It's time for psychedelic and dream imagery in video games to come back.

This actually brings up a good point that I never thought of before--it seems likely that if aliens have a religion, that religion will become a source of instant fascination to humans and will likely shake up Earth's religious landscape a lot more than the simple existence of alien life would (alien life simply existing would not have much of an impact by itself IMO).

Also the article is an iPhone ad.

No, you can fly it. The thing is, manually piloting your ship sounds like it's not used for transportation, only for combat and docking/boarding other ships and space stations. But those things are apparently pretty fun.

They always justify it with conspiracy theories about how the chosen minority victim is secretly trying to harm them. "Think of the children" is an especially popular tactic.
