Boeing is moving their world headquarters from Chicago, the land of Big Member Mayor Lori Lightfoot, to Arlington, Virginia. Arlington is 5.2 miles from D.C., within a few minutes of delivering bribes in person.
The In The Dark Editor: Is this about being stupid, LL ?
The Bizarre Cat: No, if it was about being stupid, I would write about the almost 40 percent of Americans that have anything good to say about Joe and his freak show. You go on vacation and wind up dead.
An elderly couple, Rose and Jim, moved to Hamilton, Texas. Jim had always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, and when he saw that a store was having a big sale on them, he bought a pair and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and asked his wife, “Notice anything different about me?”
Rose gave him a quick once over and replied, “Nope.”
Frustrated, Jim stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen, this time completely naked except for his new pair of boots. A little louder this time he asked, “Notice anything different NOW?”
Rose looked up and replied, “Jim, what’s different? It’s hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, and it’ll be hanging down tomorrow!!”
Furious now, he yelled, “AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT’S HANGING DOWN, ROSE?”
“No,” she replied. “But I’m sure you’re going to tell me…”
“It’s hanging down, because it’s looking at my new boots!!”
With no change of expression whatsoever, Rose replied,
Explanation: There’s a black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Stars are observed to orbit a very massive and compact object there known as Sgr A* (say “sadge-ay-star”). But this just released radio image (inset) from planet Earth’s Event Horizon Telescope is the first direct evidence of the Milky Way’s central black hole. As predicted by Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, the four million solar mass black hole’s strong gravity is bending light and creating a shadow-like dark central region surrounded by a bright ring-like structure. Supporting observations made by space-based telescopes and ground-based observatories provide a wider view of the galactic center’s dynamic environment and an important context for the Event Horizon Telescope’s black hole image. The main panel image shows the X-ray data from Chandra and infrared data from Hubble. While the main panel is about 7-light years across, the Event Horizon Telescope inset image itself spans a mere 10 light-minutes at the center of our galaxy, some 27,000 light-years away.
