How to handle a few inches of snow
When I was in college, there was no e-mail, and the dorms had only one phone to a floor, so we couldn’t even take messages from the college administration on how to handle a few inches of snow. It was just one of those things it was assumed we had learned from our parents who had lived through the Great Depression and walked to school uphill both ways in 6 feet of snow. This is what Ohio State University sent out to the “campus community.” I’ve been retired for 18 years, and I still hear from them. “The safety of our campus community is our top priority.

Rebranding MLK: How the Establishment Blackened His Dream and Whitewashed His Legacy
First, the ruling class kill messengers and then co-opt their messages.

Truth tellers are twice victimized, once by bullets and the second time around by propaganda. Their likeness and their teachings are then cunningly marketed by the same powers they spoke against to reinforce the status quo.

We only saw a point of light that that changes in brightness as it rotates. There could be many reasons a natural body might change greatly in brightness, trajectory, and velocity as it rotates. In all the randomness of collisions between bodies in the heavens almost anything is possible. However, when it comes to alien life, we have to be careful.
