Is the a practical limit to the size of the portal that can be opened and is there a limit to the length of time the event horizon can stay open? (Yes, like a stargate.) Could you bring enough Sardaukar through to help topple the Atreides regime with one gun? https://t.co/rHzSrXPIR2

Which got me thinking in the half sleep of 2 am: Does the existence of the PG render the Guild and her Navigators useless? https://t.co/ZIKneHYCUs

This disagreement led me to bringing it up with a friend, who allowed that the PG was the best for his ideal self, but ID was best for his actual self who would sit and watch. Anyway, the Portal Gun has been on my mind. So has the new Dune movie. https://t.co/TunpgIPtux

My brother and I had a conversation about @RickandMorty and the technology therein. His argument is that Interdimensional Cable is the best piece of tech. My argument, the right one, is that it is the Portal Gun, through which all things are possible. https://t.co/3hmabcywgY

I like the idea of The Daily more than the implementation. Three times a week I skip because either I have read the articles upon which it was based or I reject the premise of the piece, like today, asking “Is there a crisis on the Southern Border?” No, there isn’t. Do better.
