Feeling starstruck? 🤩

This Hubble image shows a young star cluster named NGC 2040.

The stars seen here are very loosely clustered, share a common origin, and are drifting together through space! Discover more: https://go.nasa.gov/3H5xyZB

So inspired by all the hard work being done on the ground in Georgia to re-elect Sen. Warnock! Pro-democracy Americans are more energized than ever before! Just a couple more days—keep pushing!

Every journalist should be asking the White House and public health officials why there isn't more of an effort being made to alert people to the risks of long COVID and other long-term health complications associated with COVID infection.

In 1925, Dr. Cecilia Payne completed her PhD thesis, described as “the most brilliant ever written in astronomy.” At a time when few #women entered academia, Payne discovered what the universe is made of. Her work began a revolution in astrophysics.

Dr. Payne-Gaposchkin became the 1st female professor & 1st female department chair at Harvard. Given most of us remember names like Darwin & Newton, we should also celebrate Payne. #science #space

What we’re seeing with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes is the beginnings of what could become a multi-racial Christianist coalition organized around antisemitism.

While we might want to dismiss what we’re seeing as “crazy,” I suggest we take it seriously and monitor it closely.

As we saw with Trumpism, people—by which I mean human beings regardless of political views—are drawn to spectacle.

What’s happening is very, very dangerous.

Every single American should get identical Health Care and (at least) as much paid sick-leave as every member of the US House and Senate.

Plenty of people have mental disorders and don’t praise Hitler or spread hate.

Kanye West just posted a photo of a swastika inside of the Star of David on Twitter. This is abhorrent and dangerous. Shame on anyone who has enabled and supported him on his crusade against the Jewish people. We refuse to be silent in the face of this deplorable anti-Semitism. Never again.

No one wants the economy to shut down so close to a big commercial holiday. But if that's what it takes to make it clear that this country is for everyone, not just the owner class, then we should do it.

There is no such damn thing as a 'sorta' Nazi. Call out this evil — Every. Damn. Time.

One of the many small tributaries to the River Etive begins its journey up on Rannoch Moor. Water flows down from the many small lochans towards the Kings House Hotel and on down Glen Etive. Here, the water flows over small rocks in its path creating eddies that lead your eye up to Buachaille Etive Mòr.

Economics: Humans only value things monetarily.
Sociology: Uh, I don't ...
Economics: Humans are always rational and value is calculated by a complex inner calculus.
Sociology: Uh, Psy, can you help?
Psychology: That's not how humans ...
Economics: ALSO MY SYSTEM WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY FOREVER!!
Physics: *drops teacup*

A woman was arrested for "chemical endangerment" for using drugs while pregnant. The problem: She wasn't pregnant. So officers released her, but told her if she gets pregnant in the next few month she will be re-arrested.

The people who told us we were overreacting when Roe was overturned were never arguing in good faith and also they were very wrong.

Corporate profits hit a record high of $2.1 trillion last quarter.

Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.

Elon Musk both-sidesing literal nazism.

Silence is Complicity. Call out Nazis — Every. Single. Time. Thank you, President Biden.

If you are outraged about Congress' handling of the railway strike, join me in demanding that President Biden sign an executive order guaranteeing at least seven days of paid sick leave for railroad workers.

If these workers are vital to the economy, why not treat them as such?

Flat earthers willing to die on a hill is funny af to me.
