over all a horrifying start to the month with just more stupid excuses in return

1) Yes, Tom Petty died last night. He suffered a heart attack and was revived for a short period of time, but later died. And to think, "Mary Jane's Last Dance" came up on my iPod yesterday.

2)Among the dead in the Las Vegas shooting was a Vermonter. Right now, mostly I'm furious about the whole thing.

In a small bit of good news, at least for me, gravitational waves seem to really be real.

I think most of us are tired in reference to Vegas. It just... keeps happening.

I am a bit surprised that no one's commented on Germany legalizing same sex marriage.

Yiraheerai, I for one, am very happy about Germany's legalization of same-sex marriage. It's another link in the chain of progress.

Huh? Ah, yes, I saw something small on a German site a few days back.

I guess it's because this was announced months ago, but officially became law only on October 1st? So it's not like it was a suprise.

Man, I was really hoping that Tom Petty thing was going to be another hoax.

Cause it was mostly not a big step. There has been already the possibility to make a legal sam sex relationship regards to the law.
It was short for some things short compared to a "real" marriage, like it was not as easy to adopt children and some other stuff.
So it was more a step to bring both sort of relationships to the same level for some laws and stuff and now its legal to call it a marriage instead of legal-same-sex-relationship.

Nice.

So long Ralphie May. Thanks for the laughs.

So, yeah, astronomical discovery of the century, unprecedented follow-up campaign, paper with 35% of the entire community in the author list, like 60 papers already on today's arXiv listing...

Now Trump.

Welp, at least made it on to to three of those papers...

EDIT: It was actually 76!!!

Hey, Don, I know how important it is for someone in academia to get their name on something published, so congrats on that

Also...with regards to predatory men in Hollywood, Carrie Fisher was not messing around.

Congrats, Don

Rest in Peace, Martin Eric Ain.

You were a dying god come into mortal flesh. Hardly a metal musician - and philosopher! - I have respected more.

Well, shit.
