The two interacting galaxies posed in this image are ESO 364-35 and ESO 364-36, together they form a duo known as AM 0608-333. They appear to float next to each other in this image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Although they appear serene and unperturbed, the two are subtly warping through a.....

The year is 6723, and there are finally enough onshore wind farms in England to support the UK’s 2050 net-zero target.

At least that’s how long it would take at the current pace of construction, according to a report from the Institute for Public Policy Research, a London-based think tank.

In the fall of 1971, Prince was an 8th grader at Bryant Junior High in Minneapolis.

Across town, student teacher Don Rawitsch was developing a card and dice game called "Oregon Trail" in his 8th grade history classes at Jordan Junior High.

Rawitsch showed the game to Bill Heinemann and Paul Dillenberger, who were student teachers at Bryant. They coded it up and play tested it with their school’s 8th graders.

It is very likely that Prince was an early playtester of Oregon Trail!

My sister teaches in a Hawaiian immersion school (all classes from math to science to reading are taught in Hawaiian). The US is currently trying to shut her school down & force them into the 'standard' public schools. One Principal said recently, 'Kids must only speak English'. This is genocide.

That's a relief.

The absolute fastest way to be utterly enraged with every single part of modern computing is to try and walk someone with a brain injury through one of their regular tasks after some random piece of software has pushed an update in the background.

"... the impact is real. The fact that over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced, even if they don’t pass into law, it is having a devastating impact on the safety and well-being of our community...

"... it’s got the legislative impact, the human impact, and then it’s creating a culture of fear... because we know they’re trying to push us back into the closet..."

Open letter to NATO sent today to mailbox.ypp@hq.nato.int

I want this message to be heard by all decision makers in NATO. You are failing Ukraine and you are failing all of us. I am a Polish citizen living in Scotland and I do not feel safe in my home. Russian missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead breached NATO airspace in December. You stayed silent. Now Russia blew up this dam which is the equivalent of using a weapon of mass destruction. You do nothing again. You are proving to us that there is no red line Russia can't cross and Kremlin is watching. You simply won't do anything meaningful to stop them. We are under attack. Russia interferes in our democracies, threatens our economies and our way of life. As long as Russia is allowed to commit genocide on NATO borders none of us are safe.
At this point I do not believe you will ever act. Putin may as well drop a tactical nuke and you will still offer 'thoughts and prayers'. Does anyone at your organization have something resembling a conscience or courage or I don't know any humanity left in you at all? The only adequate response from NATO is full military support to Ukraine now. All else is a dramatic failure on your part to do your job. Your apathy makes NATO a joke. #standwithukraine #kakhovkadam #natoinukrainenow #nato #Ukraine

@Arkenston
It is maddening that media still reports #Ukraine and #Russia each blame the other for breaching the dam.

Russian spokespeople lose any credibility they may have had by promoting the absurd claim that Ukraine has any motivation for the disastrous breach of the #Kakhovka dam

And failing to say that makes the media complicit in Russian terrorism

Instead of giving Trump advance notice of his arrest, which he will use to try to whip up violence, I hope that law enforcement simply shows up at Mar-a-Lago without warning,slaps the cuffs on him, throws him in the back of an ordinary squad car, and hauls his ass away. No more deferential or special treatment.
