As pointless as it it maybe, she makes me proud to share the same hometown

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

Today is the 11-year anniversary of this image showing what St Louis County folks thought of how cable news covered Ferguson

Rewatched terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.

A spiral galaxy seen face-on. Across its center, a broad bar of blazing stars shines. A glowing spiral arm extends from each end of this bar, both making almost a full turn through the galaxy’s disk before fading out. The arms contain sparkling blue stars, pink spots of star formation, and dark threads of dust that follow both spiral arms into and across the central bar. A foreground star sits atop the galaxy.

TODAY’S BEAUTIFUL NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF SPIRAL GALAXY NGC 3507 🌌

wild that we sent a huge number of guys to Iraq at the start of that war without rifle plates and now this is just how cops dress to frighten kitchen employees

horizon forbidden west really nailed this exact community

good morning to everyone who ran the Cybertrkkks out of the Mardi Gras parade

A colony of orange and silver turkey tail mushroom rosettes grow clustered on the side of a bare log All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

The other website is pretty much done

this is essentially, what's up

The Moon in the sky with two other bright dots which are Saturn and Venus. Saturn is to the upper right of the Moon and Venus is way above it.

the moon, venus, and saturn all hanging out tonight 🌌🥺

2025 is gonna be the most “editor sent it back for being too on the nose” year in human history

The Moon appears to be sitting on a tree branch of a tall pine tree.

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Ten wins for the first time ever in the 132 year history of the program, and if they win they get to celebrate by eating carb tiles some countries won’t sell under the category of “food”

Mario Cristobal giving a serious interview with a giant poptart running a drill in the background is what bowl season is all about

No, I’m aware. Nights get shorter from winter till summer.

However, nights are still longer than days till spring. Hence, them being EQUAL at the equinox.

Then days become longer than night

You said the days are longer than the nights

Yes but there is still MORE night time than day time NOW.

The day is not longer than night YET.

It changes roughly a minute like YOU said. A minute doesn’t make one longer than the other.

But the nights are still longer until the spring equinox. On that day they are equal. After that’s days are longer

That’s after the spring equinox

Thought that was a gamecocks hat

Genuinely wild how much the internet 15 years ago felt like a frontier and now feels like those terminals you get in video games with a couple of pages to give you the illusion of an explorable internet, like in cyberpunk 77. Just fully fucked the whole thing up

Beyond imagination!

the best thing I watched on TV this year was Shogun because every character's solution to even the most minor paperwork snafu was "fine, I'll kill myself"

A spiral galaxy with a wide, oval-shaped disc. It has a shining spot at the centre from which two curving, pale red spiral arms emerge, wrapping once each around the galaxy. They’re surrounded by a whirl of bright threads and patches of dust, with spots of star formation scattered throughout. The glow of the disc fades smoothly into the background where some patches of dust can be seen, as well as foreground stars.

Image of a galaxy on the black background of space. The galaxy is a very oblong, blue disk that extends from left to right at an angle (from about 10 o’clock to 5 o’clock). The galaxy has a small bright core at the center. There is an inner disk that is clearer, with speckles of stars scattered throughout. The outer disk of the galaxy is whiteish-blue, and clumpy, like clouds in the sky. There are different colored dots, distant galaxies, speckled among the black background of space surrounding the galaxy.

Two spiral galaxies take the shape of a colorful beaded mask that sits above the nose. The galaxy at left, IC 2163, is smaller, taking up a little over a quarter of the view. The galaxy at right, NGC 2207, takes up half the view, with its spiral arms reaching the edges. IC 2163 has a bright orange core, with two prominent spiral arms that rotate counter clockwise and become straighter towards the ends, the left side extending almost to the edge. Its arms are a mix of pink, white, and blue, with an area that takes the shape of an eyelid appearing whitest. NGC 2207 has a very bright core. Overall, it appears to have larger, thicker spiral arms that spin counter clockwise. This galaxy also contains more and larger blue areas of star formation that poke out like holes from the pink spiral arms. In the middle, the galaxies’ arms appear to overlap. The edges show the black of space, including extremely distant galaxies that look like orange and red smudges, and a few foreground stars.

A large spiral galaxy takes up the entirety of the image. The core is mostly bright white, but there are also swirling, detailed structures that resemble water circling a drain. There is small white and pale blue light that emanates from stars and dust at the core’s center, but it is tightly limited to the core. The rings feature colors of deep red and orange and highlight filaments of dust around cavernous black bubbles.
