The universe is wild.
This streak on a Hubble photo, originally thought to be an imaging glitch, is actually a 200,000 light year trail of new stars formed by the wake of a black hole that was ejected from the galaxy at the top right.
For reference, that streak is about twice the diameter of the Milky Way!

I have in my entire career so far treated zero complications of mifepristone, and maybe a half dozen from medical or surgical abortion overall. I have treated thousands of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) overdoses, scores of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) overdoses, and dozens of baclofen (Lioresal) and alprazolam (Xanax) overdoses. I’ve watched people die from aspirin overdoses and aspirin-related bleeds. This judge in Texas is a disingenuous lying scumbag.

Can someone please help me find a professional #journalist who has ten minutes to discuss an idea? Ideally someone who works for an #independent #publisher, but someone who works for a big company would be fine too.
I've got a crazy-yet-simple idea that could be a paradigm shifter for #online #journalism and I need someone with real experience to poke some holes in it or it's gonna drive me crazy.
If you don't personally know anyone who might fit the bill, please boost for reach.
God help us all 😂
