It would be nice to have an apolitical court tied to principles of honesty, integrity and justice. Sadly, this is the state of the court instead:
The conservative bloc includes one justice who occasionally votes with the liberals, such as when he joined them in a 4-3 opinion to reject Donald Trump’s request to overturn his presidential loss in the state. The other conservatives sided with Trump.
"Giving up political associations" is way easier said then done. In particular because reality appears to lean liberal to a significant number of conservatives.
You are absolutely correct. People were already complaining that the movie was so long and jumpy as it was, there isn't the time and attention span to go through detailed scenes of what was happening in Japan, what was happening in Europe, what was happening in Katnga where uranium was extracted, what was happening at most of the factories and other parts that went into making the atomic bomb.
It was a story about the titular individual Oppenheimer, and the people within his sphere of influence. Oppenheimer and his buddies would have next to no clue on any of these things. To say the uranium extraction process and history was ignored by the 3 hour movie on Robert Oppenheimer is not very substantial to me.
My physical profile could potentially fit in with some of these groups but I would have a tough time keeping myself from rolling my eyes and pretending to enjoy this sort of talk even for ten minutes.
You'd need a specific mix of journalistic talent, patience for nutheads like the stars of this article, the ability to keep up an in-person alter-ego for months and charm (you could tell Mr. Nelson was a little into Ms. Moore).
A big takeaway from the article for me was the mention of how "each sect of the Republican Party each had their methods", it made me think of the different sects, their methods and desires:
Big Business Republicans providing the money and legal influence, pushing for tax breaks, looser regulations and cuts to public services
Far-right white nationalists recruiting from the side, casually inserting themselves in important positions with a mellowed view hoping to take over the "big tent"
Religious conservatives (including evangelists) pushing a homophobic, misogynist agenda through their services and lobbying for their version of religion be taught everywhere
Rural (redneck) conservatives believing and spreading strange conspiracies and stuff, lobbying for gun rights, also racist/anti-immigrant
Old conservatives wanting things to return to "the way it used to be", often including racist, homophobic and anti-immigrant takes.
It's like some five-headed chimera fusion, who as long as they don't get in each other's way seem to be able to coexist. Interestingly about this article is that it focused on the people and things around Inmate #P01135809 rather than Inmate #P01135809 himself, which was refreshing.
I can't help but imagine the university took the "how many engineers, managers, etc. does it take to change a lightbulb" joke and turned it into a practical computer science problem for space colonization.
That's a cool simulation tool and research like this will definitely help accelerate technology for habitating Mars.
That game is a lot of fun. The play feels very different comparing 1-2 players (strategizing, skillful combat) and 5-6 players (a full out mayhem and frenzy).
I joined Beehaw almost 3 months ago because I saw it as a place that it was possible to have an opposing or differing opinion and discuss it without being mean or hurtful. Beeple talked, Beeple listened, they had fun and maybe most importantly, Beeple knew where to draw the line when things were getting out of hand and it was time to end the discussion.
Be sure to report any hurtful, mean, unnecessarily argumentative and inappropriate behaviour. I know I have had reports made against me that mods have contacted me about. I do my best to heed them and improve my own behaviour as well to best fit each community.
Certain topics, like politics are meant to attract discussion and debate. Many headlines are specifically crafted to spark arguments and debate. If there was anything I could ask from Beeple and Beehaw visitors at large, it is to keep a cool head when discussing, think of the other person while you talk and report if you see "not nice" conduct.
This is it and don't forget it! Keeping Beehaw a nice place to be relies on people first reminding people who are verging on not nice behaviour, then reporting them if they continue or get worse. Have the pulse on your own emotions too, sometimes the answer to disengage and leave it be if you find yourself worked up by something.
For the newer Beehaw users, don't be afraid to use the report button if talking it out doesn't appear to fix unkind behaviour. Beehaw mods and admins can't scan every single thread at this point.
Precisely this. 100 users can come across a comment and think nothing of it, when 1000 users or more come across it, one is likely to get ticked off by some part of it and be willing to write a response.
Depending on the game, there ends up being a "actually you can't do X and Y in the same turn, the rules say you have to do A after doing B, there's a special case C with this game piece" like 20 times during the first few practice rounds.
I see Inmate #P01135809 is back on Twitter, despite the court limiting his social media use. I guess Inmate #P01135809 is only prevented from intimidating, nothing to prevent fundraising campaigns.

This silly little American thing called ITAR, which mostly applies to arms and munitions, but also applies to some space systems.
E: Ok I can't say "never a chance" but basically very little even if you are qualified.
