Twisted mediocre bitch achieved everything she set out to do in 2016.
She must be very smug and proud of herself.

Kool Aid Pitcher Man and Rev. Jim Jones. Name a more iconic duo.
EDIT: You know, because of the TV movie of the late 70s-early 80s, I got used to putting the face of Powers Boothe on the name Jim Jones, it always feels weird to see the real monster, like an uncanny valley effect.

As a grown man who has always been into astronomy, have read books and magazines, watched series and documentaries for decades now, I recently felt this way again while delving into the geometries of cosmology.
Things like The Cosmic Horizon, the very far edge of light's ability to reach us as it has travelled for 13.8 billion years, yet the source of that light is now 46.5 billion light years away from us. This is our largest cosmological compass, we can trace the circle and do some abstract math with it.
They have traced triangles inside the sphere of light that surrounds us and figured out the angles from that light, and there are two options:
- The Universe is flat and possibly infinite.
- If the Universe is curved, it is so incomprehensibly huge that we cannot detect its' curvature even with our compass of 46.5 billion light years, must be at bare minimum 250 larger than what we can see, and that works out to 11.5 trillion light years in every direction from us, or a diameter of 23 trillion light years.
Yet the Universe is only 13.8 billion years old.

When you hug onscreen with a guy called Bitch Tits and sob your heart out, I can easily imagine many women are going to be mesmerized by such a strange glimpse into the mysterious male dynamics of it all.
Fight Club may be a lot of things, but it most certainly is NOT a macho, Lawrence Of Arabia or Michael Bay-style testosterone ride.

I live between a city and a suburb, shielded from a lot of the light by hills, there's still quite a bit of glare behind my back but no lights towards the western horizon, which is where the comet just happens to be.

As a cloud of electrons, I agree to everything my electromagnetic field says. If it doesn't want to go through that wall, we are not going through that wall.

This looks more 90s to me than 80s.
For example, Humphrey Bogart as Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or say Gregory Peck in Saving Private Ryan. Or how about James Dean as Luke Skywalker!
In the color lines of a spectrograph and what seems to be an area with a certain color, zooming in shows that this color is delicately split in half by a black vertical hairline, on one side it's the emission of photons of color by a hydrogen atom with a spin up electron, on the other it seems to be the same color but it's a spin down electron. Whenever I hear that gap mentioned, 1/137 is invoked, but I'm not sure precisely what that means, and I'm visualizing that the color of the spectral emission can be divided or deconstructed into a total of 137 vertical lines, and the one in the middle is black. Maybe it represents 1/137 of a photon's wavelength at a certain color?
EDIT: I mean directly from the box, NO casting from a phone or tablet. All their channels are on-air via Livestream - [here's an example](https://livestream.com/mnnculture/events/10721179) - but a couple of years ago the parent company Vimeo discontinued their app for Roku, they just digitally yanked it out of our streaming boxes.
For example, places like HistoryPorn have some bizarre pictures of weird inventions or WWII experimental weapons. How come I'm only just now coming across them? Why didn't we see them five or ten years ago, even in specialized forums and subreddits? Places like ArtPorn or TraditionalArt are a trickier proposition. Here my lack of knowledge is vast, but I've really loved the history of painting for over two decades now, and have recently kept coming across a lot of 18th-to-20th century paintings and painters I've never heard of before; some of these are excellent, I should have known about them... I think. But like I say, there's more that I don't know than what I do. If they are real and not recent AI creations, where are the original and who is digitizing and/or publishing so many of them all of a sudden in the past year?
