All hail the 1g toad

Seems like the billionaires are trying to take power from the people on both sides

Where did they get their data for the number of protestors because it was actually 4 - 6 million protestors. Article with link to the actual population data

Here's a clip from the protest

I just had a nice chat with one of the security guards and she told me to stay safe with a smile on her face. That's the second surprise I've had today.

I drove by a group of people in a small Texas town with protest signs. I never thought that would've happened, but I've been proven wrong. It'll be my turn in a bit.

I grabbed my phone as I watched it hop, branch to branch, to the top.

Ok. I didn't know. Just try to be safe .

That's some serious stuff. I wouldn't fully trust that guy if I were you, so be prepared for the worst if you're seriously committed to this. If not, I'd find a way out, if possible.

Short clip on the trail

Great work. To me, these are tears of joy. Thank you for sharing.

The abstract from their article

It is commonly believed that our own Milky Way is on a collision course with the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy. As a result of their merger, predicted in around 5 billion years, the two large spiral galaxies that define the present Local Group would form a new elliptical galaxy. Here we consider the latest and most accurate observations by the Gaia and Hubble space telescopes, along with recent consensus mass estimates, to derive possible future scenarios and identify the main sources of uncertainty in the evolution of the Local Group over the next 10 billion years. We found that the next most massive Local Group member galaxies—namely, M33 and the Large Magellanic Cloud—distinctly and radically affect the Milky Way–Andromeda orbit. Although including M33 increases the merger probability, the orbit of the Large Magellanic Cloud runs perpendicular to the Milky Way– Andromeda orbit and makes their merger less probable. In the full system, we found that uncertainties in the present positions, motions and masses of all galaxies leave room for drastically different outcomes and a probability of close to 50% that there will be no Milky Way–Andromeda merger during the next 10 billion years. Based on the best available data, the fate of our Galaxy is still completely open.

Well, today you learned something. So let everyone know, like the Knights of Ni, the greatness of a shrubbery.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Your right and that's why June 14th is the protest day - https://www.nokings.org/

Dammit. That's what I get for believing a bot.
