    Brace yourself for conservative media outrage over the length of her hair

      Oh they have far more to lose their shit over when it comes to Dr. Rigby:

      Rigby was a founding member of the American Astronomical Society Committee for Sexual-Orientation and Gender Minorities in Astronomy.[12] In 2015 she co-organised Inclusive Astronomy, a worldwide initiative to celebrate inclusivity and equity in astronomy.[13][14]

      And:

      Rigby came out as lesbian in 2000.[2] When she joined the University of Arizona as a graduate student, it was still against state law to be gay.[2]

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Rigby_(astrophysicist)

      Not sure if she’s the first out lesbian to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but it wouldn’t shock me.

      Edit: Never mind. Billie Jean King got one from Obama and there might be women other than her, I just saw her name when I was scanning.

      Ignore my previous post. They won’t even notice because he also gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Nancy Pelosi in the same ceremony.

      … and over the fact that article mentions the universe being billions of years old, which we know to be false because some old book says so, supposedly, not that any of them have read that book. Ban all Webb data, keep that stuff out of our libraries and schools!

      Hoping like hell Biden didn’t try to sniff it.

        Oh right. Forgot about that conservative trope. Don’t mind your leader is literally convicted for rape and is on trial for influencing election outcome by paying hush money for cheating on his 3rd wife with multiple women.

        Let’s focus on imaginary Biden hair sniffing. P in GOP stands for projection after all.

          Put down your weapons. I voted for Biden and will very likely do so again. Doesn’t mean we can’t make fun of his weirdness.

              The humorlessnes isn’t helping our side. Nor is trying to sweep Biden’s flaws under the rug. Of course Trump is 19,000x worse. Which is why the reflexive defensiveness is not needed.
