If you are ever on jury duty in a United States criminal court, you can always, ALWAYS vote to acquit.

No matter what the law says and what the evidence says, you have the right to keep that person out of prison.

1. Supermarket prices are up 13% in the last year and profits are at record highs

There isn't much competition to keep prices in check

Now, the nation's largest supermarket chain (@Kroger@twitter.com) wants to buy the 2nd-largest (@Albertsons@twitter.com)

What could go wrong?

@celineaubert4 I'm a noob painter and tend to get distracted by multiple creative pursuits, so it'll probably be a good while before I finish this one. 😅 Here's the last painting I completed though! Gouache on paper. :)

Until I found out that I am #ActuallyAutistic, I thought my perfectionism was the reason, that I often couldn't enjoy most situations other people did. There always seemed to be something disturbing, even painful, I haven't been prepared for (e.g. wrong clothes) while other people just enjoyed the situation. Now that I understand certain aspects related to autism like sensory issues, I also have a different view of my personality. I am not lacking flexibility, contentment or a "positive attitude", the opposite is the case. For that reason self-education about autism is so important and like many others, I suspect there are a lot of people out there, who don't understand themselves and even have been diagnosed with PDs, but are just undiagnosed autistic people.

Gravity-Defying Stoat.

There aren't many of these mustelids on Mull, so I was surprised and amused to see one out in the open, bouncing down the road towards me one day.

It seemed pre-occupied with a piece of bark that had fallen from one of the forestry trucks, and was playing with it for a while, before leaping around manically, and then vanishing into the undergrowth.

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
