It bothers me a little about the Russians "supporting" Trump AND Bernie. It sounds a little too "on the nose." As if the Russians expected to be caught one day and wanted to make sure a certain political viewpoint would

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that many populations in the West have become more passive. Especially when tools such as weapons have been taken away. Fatalism and apathy are reasonable responses to enforced helplessness.

It surprises me a little to hear that billionaires would even WANT to establish contact with aliens. For one, disregarding the aliens' dispositions towards us, the mere fact of alien contact would probably introduce all kinds of unpred
