This Day in History: Space Shuttle Discovery
On this day in 2011, the Space Shuttle Discovery makes her final landing. The orbiter’s record in service has earned her the title “Champion of the Fleet.” Over the course of nearly three decades, she went back and forth between Earth and space 39 times, traveling nearly 150 million miles.
No other orbiter would complete as many missions—or fly as many miles. Space shuttle Discovery, a NASA summary notes, “is unique among the extraordinary.”
Perhaps it’s unsurprising that Discovery was chosen for “Return to Flight” missions after two notable tragedies: the Challenger explosion and the Columbia disaster. The story continues here: https://www.taraross.com/post/tdih-shuttle-discovery

So, there's a lot of USians around who are very clearly fucking fed up with their political choices this election cycle, and planning to sit it out.
And I get it! What's the point of voting if there's no one to vote for?
The thing is, I'm Australian. In Australia, voting is compulsory. We don't get to sit out our elections, and I'll be real honest with you - we don't exactly get better choices than you lot. So how do you vote if there's no one to vote for? You find someone to vote against. And there's always someone to vote against.
Now, we have the pleasure of preferential voting in Australia - We get to rank every candidate from 1 to X, and I'll tell you, there's something so cathartic about putting the biggest bastard of the lot at the very bottom of your preferences. I understand that USians don't get that option - you get to mark one person, and that's it.
That means that you get one shot, so aim it at the biggest bastard of the lot. The candidate you most utterly detest. Put your vote in the worst possible place for them. Don't even think about who that vote's going towards, that's not the point. Remember, every vote is a vote against someone. Make sure you fuck up that someone's election day!

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Today, March 5th, is Primary Election Day here in Texas. I am up and at ‘em to head to my polling location where I’ll be working from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. tonight. I am stoked. I can’t begin to convey how patriotic I feel about being a part of this process.
There will be long lines of voters despite the last two weeks of Early Voting opportunities. Many people will say to us, “Thank you…
