Haha, she gets the medal of freedom for keeping Trump out of jail… and a pardon also. So sad.

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors.

Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher.

Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

Full moon auroras in Fairbanks, Alaska. So magical.

Re: the idea that empathy or compassion is bad or even "toxic," a belief held even by some Christians today.

There is problem with that belief, and that problem comes from Jesus himself....

Good morning!

Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm.

This is the real face of humanity...

He "wings" everything, and he often crashes... He sounds so disconnected from reality.

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.

This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.

An infrared light echo traveling from the lower left through the upper right of the image. The image is speckled with dozens of white stars, some showing Webb’s signature 8-point diffraction spikes, against the black background of space. The image also shows tightly packed, glowing red filaments that resemble muscle fibers or wood grain.⁣

Impressive :)

This is barbaric.

Russians deliberately bombard a fire truck that arrived at a fire in a comprehensive school. Kherson region. These videos are published online by Russians themselves, proud of their war crimes and feeling their impunity.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Of course he has

Remember 8 years ago when it was a huge deal that Trump wouldn’t divest from his businesses? Seems quaint now

Yesterday or today may be the acronychal rising of Jupiter (the rising at sunset) in southern France. This is the last or almost last day to see the planet rise in the east after sunset. This event takes place several days before the planet's opposition. Afterward, it will rise before sunset.

They can keep Carlson. Give him a dacha. Let him do his journalism from the Kremlin and good riddance.

YouTube video by The Intellectualist Trump’s 2024 Popular Vote Win: Why It’s Far From a Landslide

🚨Donald Trump’s 2024 win, with a slim 1.7% popular vote margin, is being called a "landslide" to justify expanding presidential power. We break down how this margin ranks historically and why it’s far more modest than it’s being portrayed.

Trump has made his positions very clear. Muslims should not be surprised.

I have been interested in astronomy for at least 50 years. I have written some articles and books about astronomy.

Bright blue stars are in a cluster at the center of the image. They are surrounded by a shell of brownish and burnt orange dust and gas. The shell has ridges that reach towards the stars like teeth. A number of more distant galaxies also appear in the background.

A grouping of large, glowing, and purplish stars dominate the image’s center. Dark ridges of gas and dust are visible around them, with more background stars crowding the view.

Several bright-white, bluish, and orange stars shine with diffraction spikes, interspersed throughout dark dust. Particularly dark regions of gas and dust are seen near the lower left.

A dense cluster of bright stars. The core of the cluster is to the left and has a distinct group of blue stars. Surrounding the core are a multitude of stars in warmer colors. These stars are very numerous near the core and become more sparse, as well as more small and distant, out to the sides of the image. A few larger stars also stand in the foreground near the edges of the image.

star clusters are so beautiful ✨

yes
