Arguably the most vile human on the planet is taking time away from facilitating the shooting, beating, blinding, and kidnapping of a populace to trash Star Trek. For reasons that are nakedly racist, misogynist, and intolerant. Which means you should watch and support Star Trek.

Primes look chaotic in a line, but reveal structure when space curves. Same numbers. Different geometry. Hidden order.

Heute in einem Jahr (12.08.2026) wird eine totale Sonnenfinsternis durch Spanien laufen. In Nordspanien wird sie abends tief über dem Horizont stehen. Es wird die letzte totale SoFi in Kontinentaleuropa für die nächsten Jahrzehnte sein. Falls jemand mit dem Camper fahren möchte.
