Is that not the joke?Is it me or was that logo stolen almost wholesale from Weyland Yutani?
True, I'd slipped back into blissful forgetfulness for a moment there. Bet there's lots of people who see Weyland-Yutani as the good guys.
Here's the original, I did rush the edit then though. (It's reclaimation, not theft when it's from Weyland YutaniIs it me or was that logo stolen almost wholesale from Weyland Yutani?

Earth is spinning too fast — the consequences for timekeeping may be unprecedented
Sure, time is fake, but that doesn't mean the Earth isn't gaining a few milliseconds and throwing in the possibility of needing a leap second.
Oh FFS. I’m all about an armchair brand of fascination with the universe, but let’s be real with this nerdy clickbait. So earth “blazed through July 26, 2022, 1.50 milliseconds ahead of schedule.”
1.5 milliseconds, over the course of a whole year…is that really something worth blabbing about? A fricken solar flare or something could probably have more effect than that. ok IDFK but still.

Didn’t realize things were getting that bad over there.
So we are legitimately activating five-hundred-year-old warnings of disaster. Every day the world becomes more of a bad B-movie plot.
Science is going too far. Or maybe, not far enough? Roboscorpions next
$140 each for 21" Dell monitors, $15 for a USB stick with a short video loop... now that's a profit margin. Money, fool, latter soon parted from former, etc.
And, see, here's the thing for all the "I want to be thrown clear in a crash in case there's an explosion" morons. Unless you're standing on your seat while driving, when you crash, you're not going head-first through the windshield- you're going chest-first into the steering column.
