Depending on where we look, the universe is expanding at different rates. Now, scientists using the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have confirmed that the observation is not down to a measurement error.

        Holy fucking shit. How have I never seen that version of your flag before? That other one is so boring why isn’t this one flying everywhere?

          Bold of you to presume that it isn’t!? :-P

          And if you think that’s something, wait till you see our history books:

          And our newspapers:

            Well damn! No wonder you guys are so patriotic! I think I might be a bit jealous of your freedom and your news industry.

            (Wish I could help 😞 I’m just up here in this other little North American country. The really cold one. Just wishing someone saves you from yourselves before that stink moves too far up and gets embedded in the carpet. Unfortunately we’ve been getting more and more whiffs of it in the past couple years. We may need help too.)

              Yeah, it’s spreading all over the world. Again. Except this time we seem to be for rather than against it, for some reason? :-(

                Well it sure is how it seems depending on where you look. Just gotta hope that a majority of people haven’t lost their mind yet.

                  I dunno, I feel like I have lost mine at least:-).

                  Btw in case it is fun, here is a video from John Oliver about authoritarianism.

                  Stay strong! (and warm if at all possible:-)

                    Unfortunately that link doesn’t seem to work in Canadia but I’ll look it up. I love John Oliver.
