Sedition: It’s About Time Attorney General William Barr suggests charging violent protesters with sedition Good. We are *looooong* past the time when people rioting in the streets could legitimately claim that they were protesting some injustice. After the most recent incident of a knife-wielding lunatic getting *justly* shot by a cop in Lancaster, PA, whackaloons took to the street […]

*Bio* chemistry on Venus? Seems the horrible nightmare of heat and acid that is the atmosphere of Venus has something else: phosphine. This chemical is *usually* a product of biological processes, and is difficult to produce otherwise. The suggestion is made that there is an existing ecosystem of microorganism floating in the clouds of Venus at altitudes where the […]
