Step into the Garden, friend, see how lush and brilliant it is! But hush, and breathe, and be still – you don’t want to scare them. Now, don’t look at me like that. You must believe just a little bit, otherwise, why did you pay twenty bucks to get in? The Gnostic Knowms are simply […]
The search is over. We know where it is. Women have always known. Oh, we play plenty dumb, and try to be helpful with questions like, “Where did you last see it?” and “Can you remember if you had it when you were fighting the Black Knight?” But we totally know. And we’re not telling.

In a clean room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, engineers observed the first driving test for NASA’s Mars 2020 rover on Dec. 17, 2019. Scheduled to launch as early as July 2020, the Mars 2020 mission will search for signs of past microbial life, characterize Mars’ climate and geology, collect samples for future
I remember this day, in 2017 when we woke up into a new national nightmare, thinking, hoping, praying, Maybe it won’t be as bad as we think, maybe he will ease up on this hate he’s playing with and do the job he agreed to do. I remember feeling nauseated, thinking of all the strong
