Googles "california statute of limitations for rape".

The cease and desist letter references "non-consensual sexual encounters". She isn't one of the two women who said he sexually assaulted them. Sammarco only reported that she received inappropriate text messages (which is still quite bad).

There have been "whispers" for a while. I think it's more that with the publicity, these women realized that they weren't the only one he abused. A common theme is "I didn't do anything about it because I didn't know there were others".

The CNN article doesn't name them. The tell is that Swalwell apparently did know who the CNN article was referring to without being told.

Even if he doesn't resign, he'll be out of office at the end of the year. Since he choose to run for governor, he isn't running for reelection to his House seat.

That makes it even more interesting that they continue posting to flickr.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

We haven't sent humans anywhere near the moon since the 1970s.

I wouldn't really say it's backwards. It's more of a "what's the right tool for the mission?" question, and a cost vs. benefit analysis. The "space plane" concept has its uses, but going to the moon isn't really one of them at this point.

They had diferent purposes. The radio was to talk directly to the recovery team, while sat phone was to stay in contact with Houston after the power to the ship's coms system was shut off.

TBF if I was taking a flight from Florida to San Diego that had a connection via the Moon I’d be ready to get up at then end.

You mean to make a public statement under their own name?

Two thoughts:

1. I watched the video without audio first, and it gives “I did it” vibes.

2. He didn’t say he didn’t have sex with those women, or otherwise dispute any specific facts.

You don’t have to automatically believe all women, but you should listen and consider what they have to say.

Top grade TV right here.

I love it how Artemis II had a perfect splash down, but they can't get the SAT phone working.

Some days it's tough, but today it's easy to be proud to be an American.

So much for that.

I wonder if she knows Barbra Streisand.

Ever Forward. Again.

Ever Forward.

Just put it this way: MNRR’s engineers seem to manage just fine without these work rules.

The point is that if all of the engineers are equally qualified and paid to operate both diesel and electric trains, why should scheduling someone to work a diesel in on the first run and an electric on the second result in 3x the pay for the day?

Job description: drive trains. Seems fairly straightforward.

Qatar is not on the call because they're too busy trying to figure out how to make friends with Iran and get an Ayatollbooth discount code

I’m sitting in a chair taking a selfie to show off my freshly cut hair. I’m wearing a red and grey checked shirt.

A haircut might not count if you don’t post a selfie.

For practical reasons it’s quite likely it would be in the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting in Alexandria. Traditionally that court, along with the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, are the courts are used to prosecute high profile universal/extra-territorial jurisdiction cases.

Committing genocide is neither a “core presidential power” nor a “responsibility of the executive branch under the Constitution.”

this wikipedia editor is orbiting the moon right now!

The only ones the Trump admin cares about are the ones that fly out of Teterboro.

This one in particular seems to have some… choice features. A few interior bedrooms without windows. Some showers opening directly on to the bedroom, rather than in the bathroom.
