I can only hope the aliens somehow managed to travel through space and time without being able to decode DBV-T. Perhaps because they never had to, as, perhaps, they never managed to develop art and TV.
(In fact, being a species that simultaneously developed and maintained art (with big "A") and TV could surely designate us as a wonder of the universe. Other species' heads would explode by the mere attempt...)
In former awful times in the hospitality industry I came up with this slogan: "Reality is when there is no place left to argue or disagree." (Just do the damn job!)
#Assange is not a journalist but the leader of a private intelligence service that he used to pursue his own personal vendettas. Insofar the talk about the freedom of the press is misguided and misleading and Assange not an example for the claim that that it is in jeopardy.
That doesn't change the fact that Assange in his years of solitary confinement in Belmarsh Prison endured brutal isolation torture. For this treatment he is entitled to full compensation and restitution. It is for this reason, and not some alleged danger to the freedom of the press, that I support and endorse his immediate release, his full restitution, and compensation for all the damages inflicted on him.
