That interview cray.
This is heavy
Fat asshole and Fox News president Roger Ailes just re-upped to run his network through the 2016 election, and he continues to maintain the grotesque fiction that he operates an independent news outlet and not a vital constituency in the Republican coalition. In case there was any doubt left, though—there isn’t, really—here’s a handwritten note he sent to George W. Bush’s secretary of state in 2005 offering “help off the record” any time.

Late Springtime Defrosting of Northern Dunes
This observation shows dunes in the Martian north polar sand sea (commonly referred to as the “north polar erg”) in the process of defrosting. Every winter, dunes and other surfaces at these northern latitudes are coated with several tens of centimeters of carbon dioxide frost and ice, plus a minor amount of water frost. The white material is fine grained frost.
The dark, splotchy tones on the dunes may be deposits of particulates deposited from carbon dioxide “geysers” or relatively thick deposits of carbon dioxide ice. The more brownish colors represent defrosted areas. Polygonal patterns on the surface of the dunes are probably cracks in overlying carbon dioxide ice. Landslides on the dunes’ lee slopes are apparent, with a morphology consistent with fluidization from carbon dioxide frost.
