No country that calls football soccer should ever have been allowed to stage it.

That quote really does belong in the dump pile, though. That poster deserves NO recognition.

Heh. The "News" items rotate on something like a random basis. To make the "News" feature something more than merely site info / admin contact info, I've included some striking quotes from some of our more illustrious members. Mostly believers who've come to beard the old lion in its den. Where "striking" is exceptionally silly and "illustrious" is bellicose. Or variations on that theme. I like to imagine that the repeated quiet appearance of these items will sort of fossilize then burnish them to a fine sheen. Thereby refuting the statement that you can't polish a turd.
That particular coprolite was salvaged from this post.

Science / Re: James Webb Space Telescope...
Last post by Recusant - July 13, 2025, 06:16:22 AMCelebrating three years of brilliant observations, the JWST team used the telescope to look at a relatively nearby nebula. You can click on the image below to enlarge it a bit and there is a much larger version available at the link below.

The article from Science Alert goes into more detail, with a bit of whimsy from the writer. I've noticed that tendency in her before.

QuoteTo celebrate the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the telescope to scratch beyond the surface of the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), a massive, local star-forming region. This area is of great interest to scientists, having been subject to previous study by NASA's Hubble and retired Spitzer space telescopes, as they seek to understand the multiple steps required for a turbulent molecular cloud to transition to stars.
Webb's view reveals a chaotic scene still in development: Massive young stars are carving away at nearby gas and dust, while their bright starlight is producing a bright nebulous glow represented in blue. This is only a chapter in the region's larger story. The disruptive young stars, with their relatively short lifespans and luminosity, will eventually quench the local star formation process.
The Cat's Paw Nebula is located approximately 4,000 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.

Last post by Recusant - July 13, 2025, 04:51:17 AMIt's possible to assume that he's trolling. Trolling from one of the most powerful people on the planet is in itself notable and troublesome. Regardless, I think such an assumption is foolish. He's already shown his cards and they're repressive and authoritarian. His musing about banishing a disfavored show business personality from the kingdom is not out of character.
He already shat on the US Constitution by claiming to nullify the 14th Amendment via executive fiat. Some may scoff but Trump claiming the power to issue an executive equivalent to bills of attainder doesn't surprise me. That's more or less what he's doing. Such skulduggery was part of the inspiration for America telling Britain to take a hike, but the character of the country has changed over 250 years.
