@anatman It really depends on the method used to go faster than light.

The only realistic (e.g. consistent with known theory) way to go FTL of which I'm aware is the Alcubierre warp drive. for such a system, I suppose you could seek to reconfigure the warp in a different direction. But relativity can be a really tricky thing, and it might be easier said than done (like the drive itself)...

By way of background: the proposed legislation would convert the National Science Foundation to the National Science and Technology Foundation -- and increase the annual budget from $8.5 billion to $20 billion. #CoSoScience

@janallmac yes. I mean, this has happened before: Gab was supposed to be a bold new future for all things far right, and I don't think it ever took off. But with the rise of Qanon and more widespread right wing extremism and conspiracy-mongering, who knows?

Self-radicalization is a hell of a drug.

‘It’s going to be very, very scary’: Before Biden takes office, a precarious 10 weeks for escalating Covid-19 crisis

It appears that Dan Bongino, among others, are heavily plugging Trump supporters abandoning Twitter and Facebook for Parler and Wimkin. I'm not sure whether the Qanon folks will join them. Lots of conspiracy mongering.

@BreakingNews @th3j35t3r I know it's a big ask, but if these jerks keep this stuff up, maybe having the lights in Moscow go out for a week or two might get a message across?

@nova @th3j35t3r it is down. And given the timing, with everything else that has happened recently, I'm curious about foul play -- even by state actors.

As one of the furloughed feds from a science funding agency wondering when I'll see the inside of my office again, I'd just like to tell my fellows to hang in there.

This, too, will pass, and we'll be back.
