U.S. Same-Sex Marriage Support Holds at 71% High - Sometimes it still astounds me how far we’ve come in terms of marriage equality. The reality today vs my first wedding in 2005, which involved getting married in a foreign country because of NY law at the time, and today feels like a dream. https://news.gallup.com/poll/506636/sex-marriage-support-holds-high.aspx

Did I ever mention how, when I was 18 and in the Army, I applied to the Space Shuttle program on a dare because I knew I didn't qualify and my sergeant major "made some phone calls" and got me a waiver?

Oh, man! Now thinking I should have gone with pie rather than the massive amount of my Achilles heel -- potato salad.

Arthur Walker, Jr, had a big, often-overlooked influence in space science. He pioneered using x-rays to study activity on the Sun, led the Challenger investigation, and opened opportunities for underrepresented groups in astronomy. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-resources/famous-astronomers/arthur-b-c-walker-ii-x-ray-astrophysicist/ #Juneteenth #BlackInStem

Oh look, it's Marge's specialty.

Cthulhu salad!

"Slavery existed for 250 years in this country, and it’s only not existed for 150. And, you know, the way that I was taught about slavery, growing up, in elementary school, we were made to feel as if it was something that happened in the Jurassic age, that it was the flint stone, the dinosaurs and slavery, almost as if they all happened at the same time."

~ Clint Smith

He is very happy, and with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, nothing punative, he finally potty trained. That's probably why he was so abused. Sadly, many people don't know how to gently train a resistant puppy.

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic That's great. I've contacted a-company-that-shall-not-be-named about a bug.

They fixed it.

Then the bug came back.

They fixed it.

Then the bug came back.

They fixed it.

Then the bloody bug came back.

My last interaction with them was to tell them that the bug is back and that maybe they should ask their engineers if they've ever heard of "regression testing."

(For those who don't know: regression testing is a way to make sure that bugs that have been fixed don't come back.)

You'll never go broke appealing to the prejudices and ignorance of the dominant group and telling them nothing ever has to change.
