Juno Shares Stunning new Images of Jupiter's Volcanic Moon Io

With its primary mission over, NASA's Juno is taking bold flights closer to Jupiter, making flybys of its moons. On July 30th, Juno came within 22,000 km of the surface of Io, Jupiter's closest large moon, known for being the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. The stunning images showed a world that's awash in volcanoes and lava flows. When Voyager flew past in 1979, it discovered the volcano Prometheus, and new images from Juno show that Io's "Old Faithful" is still erupting decades later.

“Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute

“In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant’s free speech is subject to the rules…

"He is a criminal defendant, he is going to have restrictions like every single other defendant."
- Judge Chutkan

This judge is going to merit a quote of the day calendar. I can feel it

But really, we should be in the streets demanding that Clarence Thomas resign.

Astronomers Find a Newly-Forming Quadruple-Star System

A team of astronomers searching through the Orion Nebula found one cloud containing a quadrupole-star system under formation. Newly forming quadrupole-star systems have been discovered before, but this group is much closer together less than 1,000 astronomical units. Finding objects like this will help astronomers understand the dynamics of star formation and how clouds of gas and dust fragment into smaller pockets that eventually become individual stars.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

With the stroke of their pens, six unelected Supreme Court justices blocked student debt relief, ended affirmative action, and made it easier to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people

What happened to the belief that the Supreme Court had no role in legislating?

"Among items in the current auction that could attract high bids are Twitter bird signs still hanging on the X building. There are two signs up for grabs, but the listings note that the birds are "still mounted on side of the building." Buyers will be responsible, the listings say, for hiring a licensed San Francisco company with appropriate permits to remove the iconic signs."

One thing that always gets me about billionaires: they're cheap assholes.

More cars = less friends. 🚙🚕🚓🚗

People living on streets with heavy traffic do have less friends and less acquaintances on average.

It's funny when people tell biologists to get a "real job" in the "real world". The living world *is* the real world. The world of economics and finance, real estate speculators and venture capitalists? *That* is the fake world, operating under the delusion that it isn't embedded in and entirely dependent on the the biosphere and all other aspects of the natural world. The problem is our society, which systematically favors profits in the illusory world over the well being of the real one.
