Thursday Night Open Thread

Posted by on

I never really got into Tom Petty. Now, before you big Tom Petty fans get all bent out of shape, let me clarify just a little. I didn’t dislike his stuff. I actually did like most of what I heard from him. I know the songs. Well, a lot of them. Well, some of them. Not the deep cuts, but the stuff that got a lot of airplay. Those I know. But not really anything more.

So, based on that definition, I never really got into Tom Petty. But, like I said, I did like a lot of what I head from him.

The Arch Mission Foundation created the Lunar Library, a 30-million-page long compendium of humanity’s greatest cultural offerings, encoded it on a specially designed disc meant to last a billion years, and sent it to the moon to keep it safe.

When alien space travelers encounter our lifeless planet in a billion years, I rejoice in the knowledge that they, too, will know the delight of funny cat videos.
