Spider-Man: Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.

I’d ask if this is the Amtrak bridge, but Cleveland only gets Amtrak service at o’ dark thirty.

Even if you somehow need a vehicle this size, you can park it in a way that it only takes up two spaces, not four.

It’s hard to be that secret when you travel via Air Force Two, which generates temporary flight restrictions wherever it goes.

So I guess it’s, “Vote blue no matter who, unless the candidate is so blue they make the donors uncomfortable.”

Glad I gave that gif the time it needed to play out.

Where’s some good kidnapping ninjas when you need them?

The big railroads are laser focused on short term profits these days, to the detriment of long-term investment and public safety. A fix would probably require updating or replacing the Head of Train transceiver on every locomotive, and that’s not good for quarterly dividends.

My congressional delegation is bright, bright, blue. It’s frustrating in its own way, because I have no bums to vote out on the national level until the next presidential election. The best I can do is write thank you notes like “thanks for voting to proceed with an impeachment investigation over Trump’s attack on Iran without a declaration of war, even though the Republicans and the Democratic leadership decided to table the motion.”

A Jewish Senator sponsored the resolution to block further weapons sales, so at least some people are able to separate the Jewish religion from the Israeli government.

It seems to be the headline writer’s go-to word these days.

There’s a Saturn V on display at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, but the people who made that facility important were born in Germany, not Alabama.

Yeah, problem is it’s still 16 months until Election Day, and 18 until the next Congress is seated. That’s a lot of time for this current government to continue to do harm. I really wish we had recall elections at the national level.

If there was no cursor, where was the code he was typing being entered?

Pen Pen the penguin, living a comfortable life, having someone else pay your bills, all while the world burns outside.

Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.

I suppose the one meager upside is that this stone is now tied around Vance’s neck, too, for the next presidential election.

There’s also Artemis, a thriller set on a lunar colony. A little less science than The Martian or Hail Mary, but still fun.

And they made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.
