I saw this poster on eBay. It was way too expensive. Then I realized which shuttle it was. I did some digging and IBM HQ immediately recalled and destroyed them. Guess they missed one. Whatever, it was my birthday a few days ago. $350 later and this is on the way to my apartment.

The easiest way to explain ranked choice voting is that it's a sandwich order, not a tier list. If I said your choices are turkey, ham, or dogshit, you wouldn't be like "ok my third choice is dogshit", you'd simply omit the shit sandwich.

Unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised by season 1 of THE ETERNAUT. Sure, it’s an invasion plot but written well enough that characters have agency, reveals genuinely shocking, even the tropes feel fresh.
