Milt Windler
RIP.
Milt Windler was one of the great pioneers who showed the world what NASA is capable of during both the best and most challenging of days.

With all the focus on Gene Kranz, he and Glynn Lunney (who I knew at Rockwell after he retired from NASA and came to Downey as a vice president, and was a great guy) got short shrift in the movie.
“Trans” Explained
But it couldn’t be social contagion, folks. It’s just that young people, especially autistic, gay and mentally ill ones, are finally free to be their authentic selves.

The Deconstruction Of Scotty
…is an indictment of our times.
A large part of NASA’s problem is that dishonesty is often rewarded, particularly when testifying to Congress.

That Last-Minute Second
It looks like it was legitimate. People don’t understand that the only clock that counts is the one the officials, keep, not the one on the scoreboard or that NBC shows. But it gives people another reason to hate Michigan’s football program. Seriously, what did people expect Michigan to do with that gift, take a knee? No program would do that.
They didn’t deserve to win that game, the way the offense played, or, rather, didn’t play, but a win is a win. They’ll pay for it with a drop in the polls, if not becoming unranked entirely. And I’d say that Western Michigan should now be ranked. If the Wolverines can’t figure out how to score this coming week, it will be a bloodbath when Oklahoma comes to town next Saturday.

The British Caliphate
This was, and remains, one of the most phenomenal and sensationally brilliant animated videos ever produced to highlight the abuse and cruelty towards women in Sharia law.

RIP, Dolly Parton.
Hard to think of anyone more universally beloved–and deserving of it. RIP Dolly, and woe is we. https://t.co/k5FLH4Bsio
