Mikhail Gorbachev - Last Leader of the Soviet Union

RIP Mr. Gorbachev. I think history will remember him fondly. I will sure remember him that way.

Before, I've likened Russia's relationships with her leaders to a woman who keeps dating guys who beat the crap out of her. From what I've seen, Gorbachev is like the one decent guy who does right by her but she leaves him because the abuse is so normalised that she can't even handle being treated like a human being. Apparently, he's hated in Russia mostly because he wound up being the one behind the wheel when the USSR crashed and burned.

Frank Drake - an astrophysicist who coined the famous Drake equation.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Apparently it's "in bad taste" to be saying 'republic" loudly at work, today.

More like reigned over a tourist attraction in the U.K. She was as real a statesperson as William Shatner is a starship Captain.

Not a particular fan myself, but I have to admit that meeting Liz Truss and Boris Johnson then promptly dying is kind of a boss move.

Vivat Res Publica. Charles will drag the monarchy into his grave unless he dies quickly.

Only bright spot is that there's no way back for that utter shit of a man, Andrew. Unlike their mother at least Charles has the moral sense to see that there's no redemption in him.
