Oh I know them

July 29, 1977 This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization. We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some--perhaps many--may have inhabited planets and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.

And, DAMHIK about that message from Carter:

Look, regulating electric power plants was not included as an enumerated power of government at the time of the Founding so our hands are tied

This is the way my bud

Accelerationism has one good application

I wouldn't blame the internet archive for starvation

Information wants to be free

Newsrooms are blocking the internet archive? On principle? Strange hill to die on when there's much bigger and more important ones in need of corpses.

Time for TPM to cash in. Who needs a member drive?!

Some might even call it a Christian just war doctrine and as it's pre-Reformation you could even call it a Catholic just war doctrine

There is that whole just war doctrine which defines the moral grounds and means upon which wars can be justly waged.

Orphan drugs but for automobiles the only thing making modern American society function (such as it is)

I'm thinking of those officials still reconstructing pulped stasi documents

There's some East Germans who can come help with that sort of record keeping
