Oh, you could see it from a mile away. The disaster, the destruction. You knew it was coming. It was like Penelope Pitstop being tied to the tracks. Where’s Dudley Do Right?

There are tons of things that we can say and do, but the bottom line is that we didn’t get out the vote. Many, if not most, candidates ran completely uninspired campaigns that caused voters to run away from the polls.

The new Google Nexus 9 looks to be somewhat disappointing. This is clearly NOT the iPad beater that we were looking for.

These are the first observations that have used ALMA in its near-final configuration and the sharpest pictures ever made at submillimeter wavelengths. The new results are an enormous step forward in the observation of how protoplanetary disks develop and how planets form.
