I don’t believe in UFO’s. But if they did exist, would they have a rule to not interfer? We might need adult guidance

Say, that’s a nice planet you have. It’d be a shame to lose it.

Aaaah, so you’ve read Cixin Liu.

And if we take off now at our top speed of space travel – 24,760 mph, about 217,000,000 miles a year – we could reach the closest star (Proxima Centauri) in only 117,000 years.

If there are other civilizations out there, it would be interesting to learn how they avoided the pitfalls which Earth civilzations have fallen into.

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think Twitter is a pretty neat idea.”

Douglas Adams ish.

So, anyway, filing under dead a$$ wrong, on their 17 June 2022 podcast, Stanti claims that the Roman Catholic Church is ok with the morning after pill. Ted Rall notes that the Russian military efforts were moving along swimmingly; Stanti would at some time on a later podcast, note that Ted was very right about this observation………………The first time these two show some real concern about women………….ensuring women’s right to sign up for the Selective Service. Man, the further back you go on these things, the bigger the gems.
