Oh look, a novel General News thread. How very 10 minutes ago…..

Watched a Neil Degrasse Tyson short today, and he was talking about how Stonehenge is more impressive than the pyramids because it’s impressive nature is in the ‘gaps’ rather than the stones as it maps to a clock. Sorry, thought that was impressive if true (which it likely is due it being that bloke)

And it took anywhere between 200 and 600 years to fully put together. That's dedication in of itself.

On a similar NDT short he also mentioned the astronauts on a later lunar mission and their epiphany and fury when they cast their eyes back on the Earth from the lunar surface. Powerful declarations.

Can't stand Trump but love how much the meme coin is pissing off the crypto community and their laughable claims of it undermining the authenticity of crypto, saying stuff like meme coins are based on nothing whereas 'traditional' crypto is based on... oh.....

They and Carl Sagan had the best words to say about the Earth...and about those who inhabit it.

I personally think the death penalty needs to be brought back for people like this **** who killed those girls. Hang him. 

[Otis]

Capital punishment won't be brought back and especially for under 18s.

IMO, Letting him rot in jail is a bigger punishment, day after day with next to no chance of release.

What will Reform say when the boats from Nova Scotia land in Cornwall and the Outer Hebrides, full of illegal immigrants seeking asylum from US tyranny?

I really struggle to understand why anyone cares what nationality anyone is when we're all human beings with the same needs, worries, desires and fears as anyone else.

 

It's how you deal with all these things that matters, not where you're from. Someone from Senegal or Bolivia or Cambodia is as likely to make a commendable attempt at living their best life as someone from the UK. No better; no worse.

 

People often (correctly) go on about how much war and division religion has brought to the world, but the concept of national identity is equally guilty (especially when you tie it into some kind of divine right)!

 

As two wise men once said, "be excellent to each other".

I'm curious why the media image being used of the Southport murderer, looks as though it was taken while he was using nasa astronaut g force training equipment

I’d like him to be strapped to a NASA rocket and launched to the moon

Presumably because this was the published mugshot of the evil git. This was the face he pulled.

I agree with this. Within the next 20 years, I can almost see you changing to the United States of Europe and being run centrally. 
 

The world is a much closer place then it once was. 

 

Throughout history, crazy people have done crazy stuff. 
 

Religion or even ethnicity is a convenient stand to hang that hat on. 
 

Human life is human life. 
 

If anything the world needs to become borderless and allow for immigration. At the same time, carry on like we are with climate change and our little island will get battered by extreme weather and people way seek to move away from the UK. 

 

Maybe some utopian think I know.
