This is very, very good. Hat tip Cathy Clark Six13 – A Hamilton Chanukah (with introduction from President Barack Obama)

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Summarizing: a wealthy connected felon who operated a pedophile prostitution ring was allowed to serve his jail time with 70 hours work release a week to his regular office, approved by a DA who’s now Secretary of Labor, and who also approved a sealed non-prosecution agreement and 18 months in jail on lesser charges. Upon his release from jail, he resumes the ring and recruits a 16-year-old from Mar-A-Lago. She signs an affidavit saying her partners before she turned 18 included Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew.

Even from jail, sex abuser manipulated the system. His victims were kept in the dark

Watch a 2-year-old solve one of philosophy’s most famous moral dilemmas

Okay, people. Monday 2 PM EST, put down the shopping websites and tune in for a live Mars landing, including the most exciting denouement in science: a 7-minute period during which an orbiter slows down by 12,000 mph, fires explosives and rockets, heats up to 3,000°, and hopefully does not make a new crater.

Meanwhile, it does this all on its own, because it takes 7 minutes for the speed of light to come back and tell us what the hell happened. Watching NASA receive word that it was successful: better than any movie.

Broadcast starts at 2 PM Eastern, scheduled landing at 3 PM. Massive party or wake 3:10 PM.
