Fly me to the moon?


Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like

NASA Is Hiring New Astronauts - Here's How You Can Apply for a Trip to the Moon 

If you ever wanted to jet off to space, your chance has finally arrived. NASA just opened applications for its newest class of astronaut recruits and will be accepting submissions until March 31 at 11:59 p.m. But don’t get too excited — there are numerous guidelines applicants have to meet, such as the agency’s education and specialized experience requirements.

NASA says the application process is a multi-stage one and will involve multiple evaluations. They’ll judge how well applicants communicate information in written, oral and visual media; make informed decisions; stay motivated; employ complex technical information and their ability to work well with others.

Candidates in the final stage of the application process will undergo interviews, medical and psychiatric screening, as well as additional assessments. For the lucky few who make it through the process, they will still have to complete the Astronaut Candidate Program, which requires completion of training in spacecraft systems, extravehicular activity, Russian language abilities, aircraft flight readiness and team skills, among others.

Kentucky School removes Bible verse 
after complaint from atheists. 

WTF is wrong with this world?


A school district in Whitesburg, Kentucky, removed several religious displays — including a Bible verse emblazoned on the wall of a high school locker room — after an atheist group complained. That group, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, wrote about it in a blog post this week. According to the organization, they were contacted by a resident who voiced concerns about Letcher County Public Schools following "multiple instances of the district promoting and endorsing religious messages." 

The foundation posted a photo showing that Letcher Central High School had a Bible verse in display in its locker room, reading: "But the Lord is with me like a Mighty Warrior. Jeremiah 20:11." In a letter sent to the school superintendent in November, the group claimed the district "violates the Constitution when it allows its schools to display religious symbols or messages." 

This is the dipshit who runs this 'foundation':

Schumer expresses regret for Supreme Court comments



Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democrat dooshbag from New York who doesn't ever know when to just shut the fuck up, expressed regret on Thursday for remarks he made a day earlier that two Supreme Court justices appointed by President Donald Trump would “pay the price” if they rule in favor of abortion restrictions.

American Airlines flight diverted after passenger 
tried to open emergency exit door
An American Airlines flight from Chicago to Dallas/Fort Worth was diverted Tuesday to St. Louis after an unruly passenger attempted to open the emergency exit door mid-flight. He was unsuccessful in doing so.


The dickhead hog-tied and stuck on the aisle floor of the plane.

Flight 2300 left Chicago O'Hare International airport around 6:30 p.m. and made an emergency landing at St. Louis Lambert International less than an hour after takeoff. 

The passenger was removed from the plane and detained by airport police who contacted federal authorities to investigate. According to ABC and CBS, fellow passengers helped subdue the man to prevent him from opening the exit door. I hope they beat the livin' fuck outta the guy.

I don't know if you're old enough to understand that when you got this set back in '59 or so, it was like hitting the fuckin' life lottery.

I know you've probably seen this, but I think it's worth reposting. Most of these guys aren't with us any more, and the rest of them will be leaving shortly.

AND YOU MIGHT WONDER EXACTLY WHY I MAY HAVE ABANDONED MY BELOVED HOME STATE - BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING IDIOTS UP THERE. THAT'S WHY.

Lawmakers just voted to ban plastic and paper bags in N.J. 


The state Senate voted Thursday to ban single-use plastic and paper bags across New Jersey. 

Single-use bags, both paper and plastic, are again close to being banned in New Jersey. The state Senate on Thursday voted 22-14 on a bill (S864) that would ban single-use bags and Styrofoam, or polystyrene foam, takeout containers in the Garden State.

It would take effect 18 months after receiving the governor’s signature, and make straws available only upon request after one year.

All this for this low price?

YouTube TV drops YES Network, 
leaving Yankees fans stranded.

 Here are other options to watch the Yankees


While the streaming service did agree to a new deal with Sinclair which included streaming rights to 19 of its 21 regional sports networks, YES Network was not included in the new agreement, according to Awful Announcing. Yankees fans subscribed to YouTube TV who want a way to stream YES Network can do so with Hulu or AT&T Now.

YES Network released a statement on Twitter calling YouTube “selfish” and claiming it has “total disregard for YES Customers.” It also added that the “New York Yankees have made it clear to Major League Baseball and YouTube TV that the Yankees will not appear on any national games televised by YouTube TV through its national telecast agreement with Major League Baseball.”

No - it's not expensive to live in New Jersey. 
Not at all. Who said that?


New Jersey’s sky-high property taxes rose 2.1 percent statewide in 2019, an increase Gov. Phil Murphy says is proof his administration is “delivering on our promise to provide property tax stability.” Though low by historical standards, the year-over-year increase still means the average homeowner paid a record-setting $8,953 in property taxes last year.

That's just fuckin' crazy, dude. You can have it.
