After "faith-healing" death of 8-year-old girl, 14 Christians found guilty of manslaughter An Australian judge issued a bombshell verdict against the adult members of a cult-like Christian group

Last month, all 14 members of a Christian sect in Australia were found guilty of manslaughter after denying insulin to a little girl who needed it.

Her parents were just sentenced to 14 years in jail. Others will spend 6+ years behind bars.

Elon's the kid who had a Super Nintendo AND a Sega Genesis, but still no one wanted to come over.

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

America doesn't have a throne. A third of Americans and half of Democrats aren't religious. And "Jesus take the wheel" isn't a strategy to fight White Christian Nationalism.

We deserve better than this divisive and out of touch rhetoric from Congressional leadership.

AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

A Letter from the Editor: Why The Index Is Choosing Reader-Supported Journalism Today, I'm launching The Index - a new publication focused on thoughtful, independent journalism and editorial opinion that matters. From day one, we're taking a stance that's both principled and…

Today, I'm launching The Index.

It's an independent news site.

Zero VC funding. No billionaire owners. No advertising. Entirely funded by myself and my readers.

Here's why.

Thanks for making the right call. If more people did this these evil corporations would have less power than they currently do.

The moon during the day in waxing gibbous phase.

A zoomed photo, taken with a telescope and phone, of the moon just before first quarter phase, with the light from the Sun on the right side and the terminator line curved slightly towards the right.

Here's one of Luna I took some time ago with my beginner telescope and pisspoor understanding of how to get the stupid phone adapter to cooperate with the eyepiece. I used my phone's telephoto zoom function. There's aberration but I like the photo! 🌒🌓

Possibly not as underrated as that alt text!

Look at how the comments on that video are disabled. People just can't handle their imaginary friend, and behavior in its name, being criticized.

I love the song, thanks for sharing it Aron!

“The state of affairs I’ve sketched here matters precisely because secular Americans are disproportionately queer and queer Americans are disproportionately nonreligious.”

Secular advocacy done right includes advocacy for LGBTQ rights

New French guidelines show doctors overwhelmingly support gender-affirming care - LGBTQ Nation The medical guidelines contradict numerous conclusions from the UK's infamous Cass Review.

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false.

I heard Steve Martin say (I think jokingly) that there aren't any atheist songs. I know that's not true. Let's list some. I'll go first.

A view of Saturn from NASA's Eye's simulator.

I love that we can view a solar system simulator anytime we want straight from NASA with real time data.

Warning, though, the moon count for other planets is out of date.

ISS and Saturn are always great views.

Two sandhill cranes eating from the grass.

A sandhill crane with yellow tags on its legs.

If I'm not mistaken, these are sandhill cranes. I found them earlier today and one of them is tagged.

They're fairly big dinos and let you get real close.

Lots of faint galaxies surround by stars which are local to our galaxy. This cluster is ocated 500 million light years away and comprioses of over 200 galaxies. The galaxies are of different shapes and sizes, some can be seen colliding.

I imaged the Galaxy Cluster Abell 2151. located 500 million light years away. Tough target but pleased I managed to get some detail, imagine how many potential civilisations may be living in that one picture of 200 galaxies 🤯 imaged with 190MN and Atik 383L+ camera from UK #astrophotography #space

Is it too soon to say I took the mark? Whatever that means.

It is an absolute moral imperative that every journalist stops any GOP politican immediately when they use the word "woke" and demand they define it.

It's great when Christians are held accountable for their trash behavior. Maybe follow actual morals instead of an ancient sex slave & genocide manual?
