    In 1959 a librarian called the police on 9-r-old Ronald McNair after he refused to leave a segregated library without letting him check out his books. He went on to become an astronaut and died aboard Challenger. The library that refused to lend him books is now named after him.

    Alright folks, there aren't photos of the actual dummies that we can use, however there are images of the AstroRad vests which we can. And they're cool, so we used it as the image. We obviously didn't mean to imply that these women are mannequins. They are very clearly humans.

    This was Stephen Hawking's life advice for his children: “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away."

    Shoutout to everybody who's skeptical of the big vaccine news on the grounds that it hasn't been peer reviewed yet but is happy to share Facebook posts "just asking questions" about whether 5G caused Covid to force everyone to buy Zoom
