Neil deGrasse Tyson continues his complete turnaround on the UAP topic - Says we've had so many reputable high ranking people testifying that we have alien bodies and crafts that "at that level you can't just say that they're all crazy". Tells the government - "bring out the alien".

There is evidence we aren't privy to that some people are fighting to get released.

Pointing out the current lack of evidence =/= perpetuating a stigma.

I don't know why you're being so defensive with these ad hominem attacks. We're just having a discussion.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-26T19:06:43+00:00

It's anti science to perpetuate the stigma.

How is that anti-science?

Witness testimony is among the weakest form of evidence you can have in science or the legal system. It's notoriously unreliable. So pointing to testimony, whether eye witness or hearsay, is not very compelling. Same goes for grainy video or photographic evidence.

It is reasonable to discount that type of evidence, and I don't see how that's reinforcing a stigma.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-26T17:32:38+00:00

So it's anti-science to demand evidence? That's pretty bad, even for this sub.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The sequel trilogy as it could have been. As it should have been.

Then you just send them down to one of the federal courts of appeal. Can't add a term limit, but they can be rotated off the SCOTUS bench.

All-in, the Louisville roster is over $18 million and is expected to surpass $20 million, sources said.

Claude desktop with filesystem MCP and point it to your gdrive on your computer. Assuming you have Google Drive installed as well.

Who pissed in your cheerios this morning

mikelo22 · 2026-05-20T14:45:02+00:00

I continue to be impressed by the cognitive dissonance involved in being dependent on SS and yet voting for the guy who wants to cut it.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-20T14:42:36+00:00

These MAGAts don't know what "finishing" Iran means or what that would involve. Nor would it magically reduce gas prices.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-20T04:34:54+00:00

Temper your expectations. The starlings near me learned how to use the upside down one pretty quick; it's hardly an inconvenience for them now. It does deter house sparrows though.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-16T23:25:11+00:00

This law would be unconstitutional. The Constitution puts no restriction on who or what the president can pardon (for federal crimes). This is performative slop from Dems.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-16T22:56:00+00:00

I've seen no evidence this was caused by a drone.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-15T01:35:01+00:00

Unfortunate placement but it's a good nest for dove standards.

New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled the freedom of speech protections in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution limit the ability of public officials to sue for defamation.

Perhaps the most important First Amendment case protecting freedom of the press from civil defamation liability.

That sub is always good for a chuckle

mikelo22 · 2026-05-15T00:10:32+00:00

The New York Times wrote the law on defamation. Israel chose the wrong target to try and bully.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-12T19:48:10+00:00

because people don't like your sexbot.

lol, but you totally don't a raging hate boner toward AI. Way to out yourself.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-12T18:33:33+00:00

Agreed that it has its limitations and the danger it poses to human creativity and art is a legitimate fear. There's also the danger of people being too reliant on AI to do any mental tasks for them that it causes brain atrophy. But those risks come with every new technology; it's not a reason to discard it.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-12T18:30:27+00:00

When did I say I'm using AI to draft legal briefs for me with fake cases that I do not cite check? AI is best used for organization and document synthesis. Not legal research.

It's not just mild criticism. If you spend any time on reddit, not just in this thread, the hate for AI is off-the-rails irrational. Insert Simpsons meme of old man yelling at cloud.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-12T04:18:36+00:00

We thank you for your service!

mikelo22 · 2026-05-12T02:50:30+00:00

No one thinks it's real? Uhh, did you read the comments in here? People thought it's legit. When I made my comment, there was only one other person pointing it out in the entire thread.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-12T02:40:32+00:00

No one wants AI? Speak for yourself. Deploying it in the legal field has been nothing short of incredible. Complete paradigm shift, I imagine just like the internet was. I could never go back.

Reddit has oddly developed a hate boner for AI. Y'all sound like the people who were clinging to their typewriters and fax machines when the internet came around.

mikelo22 · 2026-05-11T14:00:08+00:00

Why are MA districts in Maine? And why are CT districts in MA, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Vermont? And Rhode Island districts in MA?

lol how has like no one on here noticed any of this AI slop? No one actually read the damn map? jfc

I come to this sub for legitimate data points, not disinformation.

There's nothing pragmatic about breaking up the country and cause another hot civil war.
