I Finally Told My Crush Lorelei That I Was Unvaccinated....

When I think of Lorelei my head turns all around
As gentle as a butterfly she moves without a sound
I call her on the telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in and I can hardly wait

The way she moves, ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever

Scientists urge Pluto be reinstated as planet

The current definition of a “planet” is rooted in folklore and astrology, and must be dropped due to not meeting the needs of modern astronomy, a new study states, opening the doors for the Pluto comeback.

Pluto was discovered in the ring of bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune, known as the Kuiper belt, back in 1930, being declared the ninth planet in the Solar System.

However, its status was questioned after several other objects of the same size were found in the Kuiper belt, with the International Astronomical Union (IAU) eventually downgrading Pluto to “dwarf planet” in 2006.

It happened in line with the new definition of a “planet” adopted by the IAU, which stated that a celestial body has to orbit the Sun, have a nearly round shape and be gravitationally dominant, clearing its own orbit, to meet the criteria.

Pluto ended up being disqualified because its orbit intersects with that of Neptune and because it shares its orbital neighborhood with other objects in the Kuiper belt.

The rule demanding a planet to clear its own orbit “was really developed post facto to keep an orderly, small number of planets,” Philip Metzger, from the Florida Space Institute at the University of Central Florida (UCF), said.

And the very idea that there should be a limited number of planets has little to do with science, stemming from folklore and astrology, he pointed out.

In order to prove that point, Metzger and his team studied a massive bulk of planetary literature from the past 400 years, sharing the results of five years of their work in the Icarus astronomical magazine.

According to the paper, entitled ‘Moons are planets,’ the definition introduced by Galileo in the 1600s – that a planet only needed be a geologically active body in space – had been used by scientists throughout much of history and only eroded in the 20th century.

It happened between the 1910s and 1950s, when the decline in the number of papers on planetary science coincided with the rise of publications such as almanacs, Metzger told UCF Today.

“There were enough almanacs being sold in England and in the US that every household could get one copy every year.”

Those almanacs provided its readers with a whole range of information – from calendars of astronomical events to cooking recipes and fiction. But there was also a heavy emphasis on astrology, including astrological weather forecasts that can only be made if there was a limited number of planets.

“This was a key period in history, when the public accepted that the Earth orbits the Sun instead of the other way around, and they combined this great scientific insight with a definition of planets that came from astrology,” Metzger said.

And those views that moons and satellites shouldn’t be considered planets then made their way into scientific literature. But this definition doesn’t work anymore as astronomy relies on advanced technology that allows it to study space much more...

Leaving Only Causes Heart Break:

I get the same old dream same time every night

Fall to the ground then I wake up

So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head

Thoughts are back to the break-up

These four walls are closing in

Think of the fix you put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone

I'm out of my head, can't take it

Could I be wrong but since you been gone

You've cast a spell, so break it

Do do do, do do do, do do do, can't take it

Leftist Fox Sunday Host Chris Wallace Quits Fox News … For CNN+ Streaming Service

Ahhh... The Gift Of Never Having To Accidentally See Chris Wallace Move His Mouth Again...

Longtime Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace is calling it quits. (Wait for cheers to subside.) Wallace made the announcement at the end of yesterday’s broadcast, calling his 18 years a “great ride.”

The anchor hinted he’s got something else in the works. “I want to try something new, to go beyond politics to all the things I’m interested in. I’m ready for a new adventure. And I hope you’ll check it out. And so — for the last time, dear friends — that’s it for today.”

Sunday afternoon, CNN announced Wallace will be hosting a daily show on the CNN+ streaming site that is scheduled to launch in 2022.

“I am thrilled to join CNN+,” Wallace said. “After decades in broadcast and cable news, I am excited to explore the world of streaming. I look forward to the new freedom and flexibility streaming affords in interviewing major figures across the news landscape — and finding new ways to tell stories.”

Nobody is shocked that Wallace went to CNN. He’s spent the past couple years during a fair impression of a biased CNN host.

Wallace raised the ire of Trump supporters when he actively assisted Joe Biden during a 2020 debate, including blocking discussion of Hunter Biden’s laptop and the evidence Joe lied about his Chinese business connections. Wallace further raised eyebrows when he called Biden’s inauguration address, “The best inauguration address I’ve ever heard.”

So who will replace Wallace? Il Donaldo Trump had a pretty good idea:

P.S. That’s Fox Nation host Lara Logan...

Enes Kanter Freedom Praises The First Amendment, Calls It The ‘Greatest Amendment Of All Time’

Enes Kanter Freedom loves the First Amendment.

The Boston Celtics center recently became an American citizen, and he absolutely loves this country and his ability to speak up.

“There are 27 Amendments and the First Amendment is the greatest Amendment of all time: freedom of speech,” Freedom said during a weekend appearance on Fox News when talking about speaking out against China and wearing shoes critical of the CCP.

He also added that some players around the league have reached out to offer the support of his pro-freedom stance. You can listen to his full comments below.

As I’ve said for a long time, Freedom’s anti-CCP stance will almost certainly cost him his NBA career. I’ll be shocked if he gets a new deal after his current one expires.

The NBA is simply too entangled with the dictatorship, and we all know the CCP doesn’t tolerate criticism.

Yet, Freedom doesn’t seem interested in backing down at all. In fact, he only seems more...

Bitcoin's Creator, Satoshi Nakamoto Is Really Craig Wright And Bitcoin Is NOT A Cryptocurrency.

So Craig Wright, the creator of Bitcoin wrote a fascinating article about how Bitcoin won the race against the Silicon Valley filthy Communists that wanted to create a nefarious system of banking.

However, the battle continues as the ideas of these communists (who call themselves "Anarcho Capitalists"), including the concept of no more property have become widespread within Silicon Valley. They are the concepts of technocrats such as those associated with Google and Facebook and Twitter.
