NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol.

Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

The journalists say down in the auditorium inside the machine.

"Welcome!" the professor said, "When I press this button, we will instantly travel faster than light."

"How much faster?"

"Infinitely."

"Where will we go?"

"Around the whole universe."

He pressed the button.

"We're back!"

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

i will say though, about that circus in egypt. if you actually create peace in palestine (never mind middle east), nobody would know for sure until fifty years have passed. so we could award the peace prize posthumously
