TODAY.com: Russia penetrated voter databases before 2016 election #NotOurPresident

The ONLY thing that should matter to our democracy at this point is this: free and fair elections are the foundation of democracy. The 2016 election was hacked, and in addition to "influencing," the Russian government actually did manage to enter the voting databases - and the assertion is that it probably went further, though we have not heard that piece specifically from the intelligence community.

But even penetrating the voter rolls should be taken seriously. Our democracy was attacked by a foreign power, and those who can do something about it are either turning a ridiculous blind eye to it, or actively looking to discredit information.

Which means that - and we have supporting evidence that this is true in the form of donations coming from Russia - many of them are complicit in the attempt to dismantle our democracy. They are subverting the very constitution they have sworn to defend for personal gain. That is the very definition of treason.

And then there are the dunderheads among the public who seem to think this is all bullshit, and decide that "the snowflakes"simply can't accept that trump won.

If he won in a free and fair election, I may not like it, but I could accept that he was president. But he did not, and that's why I can not accept it.

Every day there is another piece of evidence that mounts that this is all built on treachery and hacking votes. Something must be done.

#MakeAmericaSmartAgain Tesla Roadster Starman live video feed from SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch

As a nation - and as a species - our continued growth and evolution depends on finding new ways to succeed. To not be afraid to fail. And to look past the bullshit we hear from talking heads, celebrities, athletes, and politicians.

Falcon Heavy took off today for the first time. And Elon Musk used a Tesla vehicle as the payload.

The launch itself was a resounding success and you should watch it; and then read about some of the cool "design flourishes" he put in.

Predictable - Marlins edition

The city/county are on the hook for nearly $2bn for the stadium they built for the Marlins (in real dollars, given the time value of the loan).  They had a deal with the Marlins to share in some profits. 

Selling the team within a 10-year span was supposed to trigger additional income to help with the debt.  But predictably, Luria and his cadre of lawyers found a loophole to not have to contribute to it.

So we south Floridians remain on the hook for it.  Aren't we lucky?

Disco rocks!

Much like we have TOS, TNG, ENT, VOY, and DS9, Star Trek discovery is being referred to as "disco" by fans.

That's awesome!

Especially considering the shirts they wore in an episode.
