Why is anyone still listening to this man enough for this to make it to a headline?

Five bucks says she was only a contractor or she’d still be taking advantage of the fact that federal employees are notoriously difficult to get rid of - even (especially) if they’re shit at their job.

There are a few reviews of the watch on YouTube, and they seem to agree with your assessment.

Compared to how DC runs these days, West Wing is up there with Harry Potter on the Fantasy scale.

“This…… former president…”

“Sweet, I’ll put it in mine!”

Don’t mess with the Swifties, Donny. Of all the dumb shit you’ve done you’re really playing with fire now.

I think NDT is a good science communicator, he just lacks the personable quality that laypeople generally prefer when having something explained to them. Personally, I like NDT. He’s knowledgeable in his field, and when he really gets into talking about stuff you can tell he has a sense of awe and wonder about the universe. But, I think he also suffers a bit from that issue of really intelligent people just not grasping that there’s a lot of their niche knowledge that is not common knowledge. It’s not at all uncommon for NDT to put off a, “You really didn’t already know that?” vibe. I don’t at all think it’s malicious, it’s just when you reach a certain level of knowledge on a topic, it’s easy to forget how much you yourself had to learn.

TL;DR: NDT is a great science communicator if you already know enough of the basics to follow what he’s saying. Carl Sagan was an even greater communicator because he could break down subjects to explain them to people whether they were a 5 year old with a budding interest in astronomy, or a college grad studying more advanced topics.

Ah, good point! That’s also the impression I get from his work. His Netflix series was pretty much written for adults who watched him on PBS as kids.

We need a reincarnation of Carl Sagan. He was a great science communicator.

That was the Washington state GOP, actually.

Why does he insist on wearing such comically long ties?

They had to lower the bar to Hell since some of their saints are there. For example, Mother Teresa’s down there jilling off to torture porn.

Just type it up on the White House letterhead and you’re probably good to go.

This one?

I at least enjoy their fiber internet service.
