Explanation: A long time ago in a galaxy 50 million light-years away, a star exploded. Light from that supernova was first detected by telescopes on planet Earth on July 14th though, and the extragalactic transient is now known to astronomers as supernova 2025rbsPresently the brightest supernova in planet Earth's sky, 2025rbs is a Type Ia supernova, likely caused by the thermonuclear detonation of a white dwarf star that accreted material from a companion in a binary star system. Type Ia supernovae are used as standard candles to establish the distance scale of the universe. The host galaxy of 2025rbs is NGC 7331. Itself a bright spiral galaxy in the northern constellation Pegasus, NGC 7331 is often touted as an analog to our own Milky Way.

Interesting. Until this committee checks into this little "gift" I saw we give her a pass. I'm not one for whataboutism, but I think this deserves an exception.

I am currently doing everything I can to take myself off the digital grid. Not like cabin in the woods, just self hosting and dropping Google and Microsoft. I really hope these people see justice in a courthouse if we make it through this.

A bunch of no talent ass clowns over at DOGE.

It's because they are... Wait for it... Lying.

You are absolutely correct. Same asshole that lets kids in Gaza get bombed, just a different name.

Sounds like nothing of value was lost in this accident then.

Exactly what is one inspired to do by someone that jumped from a significant height? To go out and get a corporate sponsor so they can foot the bill for your adrenaline addiction?

That's the fucking line? A building that is destroyed. Not the children being slaughtered, not the hospitals being destroyed, not the homes of thousands of people being demolished? All because they believe in a different sky daddy than you.
