Final 2020 note... Preliminary thoughts on the “Proxima Signal.” Will it be the 'final art' of an exhausting year?
David Brin, CONTRARY BRIN - 1 hour ago
Okay, one last, apropos topic for 2020… and you’ll see just *how* apropos, at the end. By now many of you have read or heard about the “Proxima Signal”-- which is at least a ‘candidate’ for a Technosignature of alien origin. I was told about this a while back, by some of the Breakthrough guys... and now it’s in the media, leading to many messages and queries. Hence I feel behooved to offer my own take on a potential radio ‘contact’ from Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our solar system.

True though it may be that the power of destruction and the unleashment of that destruction is in the hands of a few, there are safeguards that can be utilized by the many in effecting the preservation of world peace. One of the greatest problems in the world today is that of inertia and division amongst the good people and the tendency on the part of progressive elements of society to underestimate the destructive intent of darkened factions ruled by malcontents. Because their own motives are kindly and benign, they find it difficult to understand that there is a strong und...

11pm Brexit Hour, New Years Eve 2020
Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 5 hours ago
Well, it says it all. The websites of the Sky News and ITV News made the upcoming, historic 11pm break from the EU their lead stories in the run-up to 11pm. The BBC News website kept the story in fourth place. Typically sour from the BBC. 11pm strikes. History is made. The BBC moves the story to first place. ITV (at 11.07pm) goes with Big Ben bonging and a picture of Downing Street: Sky (at 11.08pm) goes with Big Ben and a new chapter: And the BBC (at 11.09 pm) goes with a police van and a police officer talking to a lorry driver stopped at the border and talk of 'separation': I...

IS IT A CIVIL WAR YET?
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 5 hours ago
I wish I could agree with Ruth Marcus about the upcoming congressional challenge to the Electoral College results: ... while irresponsible, [it] is not necessarily a terrible development. It forces a vote that will have the salutary effect of requiring [Republican members of Congress] to decide — and to put on the record — whether their loyalty is to President Trump or to the Constitution. Better to know than to guess. Better to inflict some accountability rather than to enable dodging. Put another way: Any vote that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fervently wishes ...
