I particularly remember the one where the veteran FAA investigator suddenly sees a WW2 plane land, and he and some airport staff can't figure out why it has no crew, and after a bit he realizes it doesn't actually exist and that he never actually talked to those staff (who did otherwise exist), and it turns out that ------- the plane was the one crash whose cause he had never been able to determine, so many years ago.
Classic Twilighty Zoneness.
Oh there's also the one where the writer's wife complains about his other recently appearing 'woman friend', so he shows his wife how he really just created the friend (with the power of his mind/magic tape recorder/etc/etc) and even destroys the new friend to satisfy his wife, but still the wife wants a divorce, so he destroys her as well.. she was fun for a while.. and hey he could always recreate her 'from scratch' if he wanted
I rarely find episodes of The Twilight Zone comforting, but if you want provocation, TZ has it.. and really surely more things happen after an episode is over, I'm sure everyone gets free cake and dances joyously around for eternity
Well, in this case it would have to be a hollowish tube, except even that doesn't fit the actual image, but, if it were a solid column, it would be a flat-colored circle
I don't think it's a column.. you can see the gas is denser along the edges and then it gets thinner and thinner towards the center until quickly it 'disappears'. If it were a straight-on column you'd just have a single color circle.
Regardless, it's impressive, and I'm surprised we've never seen something like this before, and that I never noticed we'd never seen something like this before
Wow, rockets are evil? What about the jet engine, used to deliver bombs aplenty? Surely that's evil, right? What about the fork, used to feed all these evil soldiers who do evil things? What about dirt, used to grow that evil food? Or the evil sun, without which the evil humans could not be so evil evil evil evil evil evil
Anything can be used in ways that society deems 'good' or 'evil'. Why an article-writer would deliberately want to focus on things being 'evil' is mysterious..
If a person were to look at the ratio of feelgood stories Cronkite reported versus the 'oh no, something bad happened' stories, I wonder what it would be...

Perhaps Stein cracked it but also won't tell anyone?

Also, chocolate is delicious
