Quaoar (50000 Quaoar), is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a region of icy planetesimals beyond Neptune. A non-resonant object (cubewano), it measures approximately 1,121 km (697 mi) in diameter, about half the diameter of Pluto. The object was discovered by American astronomers Chad Trujillo and Michael Brown at the Palomar Observatory on 4 June 2002. Signs of water ice on the surface of Quaoar have been found, which suggests that cryovolcanism may be occurring on Quaoar. A small amount of methane is present on its surface, which can only be retained by the largest Kuiper belt objects.

In February 2007, Weywot, a synchronous moon in orbit around Quaoar, was discovered by Brown. Weywot is measured to be 170 km (110 mi) across. Both objects were named after mythological figures from the Native American Tongva people in Southern California. Quaoar is the Tongva creator deity and Weywot is his son.

San Francisco San Francisco is like some Halo ass shield world where the gang violence from the pre gentrification tech boom never left but the gentrifiers found it and have been trying to gentrify a Viet Cong style insurgency of Mesque bangers firing 50 cal at heavily armored Metaverse Metabots charging down Haight Ashbury, with the booby trapped Mission taco shops not having been enough to stop them from Metaforming one of the last strongholds of food that isn’t 30 dollars for a 2oz portion of GMO, “organic”, “vegan” (hint this shit is made out the discarded Saudi Royal blood boy flesh) food farmed with Nigerian slave labor,

San Francisco is on some South Africa shit these days. Homeless people everywhere, shit piles everywhere, more white people than you’ve ever seen, Tucker Carlson literally flapping and guffawing like a Macaw as he lays out the sad state of affairs for the Nurgleite The Base™ who listens to the Griots Of Greed on the daily.

This is Islamic Communism in Practice, Boys!

You’ll see some homeless dude just casually snacking out of the garbage bins, minding his own, building communism and the Were-Cops will immediately run out of the Oubliette and start cosmically fucking them with the long greasy arm of the law. Unable to stand for this injustice, I got to the cop and tug on his Were-Dick and he yelps, hearkening back to the Cartoon Days of mid 17th century political cartoons, and he vanishes into the 50 degree mist, off to have conversations about Pinochetian Minarchism in a language he doesn’t understand with the finest fallen Were-Carabineros
