1969: The first message sent over the ARPANET was from Leonard Kleinrock’s UCLA computer, sent by student programmer Charley Kline at 10:30 PM to the second node at Stanford Research Institute’s computer in Menlo Park, California.

The message was simply "Lo." But not on purpose.

Ya know... with all the crap going on... I really miss people like Bob Ross and Fred Rogers...

Take a moment to like yourself. Take a moment to create. Take a moment to look at the good people that are in the world.

HiRISE 8K: Hematite in Eos Chasma

On Mars, grey hematite may help prove whether large amounts of liquid water ever flowed on the surface. Deposits of grey hematite are typically found in places where there has been standing water or mineral hot springs, such as those in Yellowstone here on Earth.

The Supreme Court won't expedite the latest GOP challenge to Pennsylvania mail-in ballot rules https://cnn.it/3oAl94d

Yawn.

Hurricane Zeta is getting that look where you know it's going to be an impactful hurricane strike for Louisiana and the Gulf coast regions stretching from MS-FL.

Out-of-work people are often not quite poor enough for Medicaid, and even the low-cost "bronze" plans available under the Affordable Care Act are far from affordable once you factor in high deductibles and co-pays.

This is a major scandal. However, the bigger scandal is the fact that the HEROES Act, passed by the House in May, pays the total cost of allowing laid-off workers to keep their employer coverage, but Republicans keep blocking its enactment.

The substitute bill brought to the Senate floor by Mitch McConnell last week, which failed to get the necessary 60 votes, did not include a dime to help unemployed workers and their families with health coverage.

What’s even more scandalous is that Republicans keep escaping political accountability for blocking corona relief. Joe Biden needs to be making a major issue of this, and every Democrat running for the House or Senate should be hanging it around the Republicans’ neck.
