- The 2A doesn't say that a tyrannical government will leave you alone if you have a gun. It just says you are allowed to have one to oppose said tyrannical government.
- Turns out, "deplorables" didn't go far enough.
- That was straight up execution.

- Too bad he can't run for president.
- What a privilege it has been to be your friend for almost 11 years. Best dog ever.
- 3m aperture space observatory announced by Schmidt Sciences, with a coronagraph! I'd recommend everyone come to their talk at AAS tomorrow (Wednesday): arxiv.org/abs/2601.025...
