Looking out into the universe one is looking back in time.
It is noted in the measure of distance: Light Years.

A Better Way to Protect Robert Mueller
Two Senate bills promise to check President Trump from removing the special counsel. Too bad they won’t work.The legislation is unnecessary.
If Trump stops the investigation he is pleading guilty.
The House would start impeachment proceedings.
Trump is rallying his base in an effort to maintain his legitimacy. That effort is probably futile.

A Classic French Home With Iconic Memphis Design
The late designer Ettore Sottsass may be finally getting his due, but his most passionate collector refuses to take him too seriously — just as Sottsass himself would have wanted.Studying the article is not misspent attention.
I have no real love for the home, which I can't see, the collector, who finds
the failure of imagination fascinating or the work which expresses the frustration of Ettore Sottsass.
I have been there and I left.
I do not want to do pointless work.
The attempt to get things right is enough.
