Are you one of those people that reminds others about single mothers on father's day?

Wouldn't really be tempted to do that, because while I honor Father's Day and good dads, my own father was a horrible bastard.

A Veritasium video about what we're seeing. It's a lot more complicated than I thought.

There seems to be some confusion over this. They say it's the black hole in the center of our galaxy, but then sometimes they claim it's from M87, which is 54,000,000 light-years away. Well, which one is it?

M87 was the first, then they imaged Sagittarius-A, the strongly-suspected black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Wish people commenting on this in news articles and YouTube videos would clarify they took two, because it could confuse normies like me.

EPIC.

I see Donald Trump's ego has taken form.

I guess we can blame him for V'Ger?

Black hole = Donald Trump's ego.

Just a cheap joke.
