Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

An armed conflict between India and Pakistan would be catastrophic for the world and must be avoided at all costs. The United States and our allies should be doing everything we can to stop another escalation and pursue all possible diplomatic avenues to resolve this peacefully.

"No respect for God": Florida mayor denies "Day of Reason" proclamation Critics are calling out religious bias after Mayor John Rees rejected the secular request

In Winter Garden, Florida, an atheist asked the city to issue a "Day of Reason" proclamation. The mayor refused.

When a journalist pressed him on it, the mayor lashed out against people with "no respect for God."

Stephen Miller must have either missed or failed Government 101 in high school but there seems to be a lot of this going around.

If Biden had done this, Republicans would be drawing up articles of impeachment right now.

Disability is not a moral failing. It can’t be prevented with healthy living, prayer, or wellness culture.

It’s a natural part of life. If you live long enough, you will more than likely experience disability.

We should all be fighting for better social supports, inclusion and accommodation.

Harassing someone online is a crime. Michael Dean, 61 learned the hard way-convicted for sending me a vile email glorifying violence and wishing it on me and those who share my heritage.
Women bear the brunt of relentless, harmful online abuse.
The law needed to catch up, and in this case it did.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

I just posted this. In this video I talk about how people address the problem of evil and how that can relate to things like what's happening in Gaza. youtu.be/A6E7nHFsNsw

Two views of planet Mars on a black background of space observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. At left, text: December 28, 2024 20:00 UT. At right, text: December 29, 2024 13:18 UT. In both images, its atmosphere is clear and the surface appears detailed. Most of the planet is shades of orange. At left, the brightest orange area appears in the left half. At right, the brightest orange area is centered and takes on the rough shape of a sleeping mask. In both views, darker surface features are noticeable on the lower half of the planet. These have a mix of orange, blue, and gray hues. At the top and bottom, white regions mark the planet’s polar caps. The entire limb of the planet, its visible edge, has a blue hue. The blue doesn’t form an even circle at the edges, and appears thinner toward the left and right, and thicker in some areas.

The planetary nebula NGC 2899 is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its edges pointed up, but its edge-on central torus is semi-transparent in the middle. The top and bottom edges are thick and orange. The center is semi-transparent blue and green. The wider central region looks roughly like a moth, also filled with semi-transparent blue and green. There are two pinpoint-like white stars with diffraction spikes toward the center. Immediately below them, slightly toward the right, is a smaller blue orb, a central star. The next layer of gas and dust is whiter, with some thicker pillars that look like they are rising up at bottom center. The colour fades into reds and purples, and then to orange.

A tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a V extends from just below top left all the way down to the lower right corner and back up toward the top right. It looks like thick smoke that has billowed out irregularly, thicker along the line from top left to bottom right, and looser on the piece that goes toward the top right. Behind the dark gray on the left side, from the bottom left to top center, there is dust that looks like arced claw marks that appears in light orange and yellow. The background at top left is hazier and some blues are covered in semi-transparent orange wisps, which makes sections take on green hues. In the bottom right, the background is bluer. There are a few bright red and purple stars scattered along the right half, most toward the bottom. The largest star is at right-center, just at the edge. It is red and has four diffraction spikes.

Barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 observed by the Hubble Space Telescope takes up the majority of the view. At its center is a milky yellow, flattened oval that extends bottom left to top. Within the oval is a bright central region that looks circular, with the very center the brightest. In the bright central region is what looks like a bar, extending from top left to bottom right. Around this is a thick swath of blue stars speckled with white regions. Multiple arms wrap up and around in a counterclockwise direction, becoming fainter the farther out they are. Both the white core and the spiral arms are intertwined with dark streaks of dust. The background of space is black. Thousands of distant galaxies in an array of colors are speckled throughout.

Happy anniversary, Hubble! 🎂

Celebrate 35 years since this NASA/ESA space telescope was launched into orbit with four anniversary images! They roam from the planet Mars to dramatic images of stellar birth and death to a neighbouring galaxy.

Just had this debate with a mechanical engineer the other night. His complaint was that it writes better code than his colleagues (students). My response was, sure, for solved algorithms. Meaning things that you can cut and paste from Wikipedia. From a computational biology perspective, super useful
