Bibliofishy 😱

Grateful to have @emilyslist.bsky.social by my side in this campaign. Now more than ever, we need leaders with backbone who will cut through the BS and deliver for families.

And there’s nothing that Donald Trump hates more than facing down a strong, powerful woman. 💪🏻

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

whoosh

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Thou Shalt Not Declare War On Thine Own Country.

Also I just don’t get why Thunberg gets under the skin of people on the Right so goddamn much. Look out it’s a girl with opinions OH NO SOCIETY IS DOOOOOMED you fuckin losers

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each.

Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

37 people arrested and American kids separated from parents after ICE raid at Chicago apartments | CNN Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments, crying and screaming, during a large overnight raid that has left tenants and neighbors shaken.

“'I’ve been on military bases for a good portion of my life,' said Darrell Ballard, who lives in the building next door. “And the activity I saw – it was an invasion.'
"residents detained outside…for hours…a Black Hawk helicopter flying over …military-sized vehicles"

The perfect fascism of a raid in Chicago This is what we must guard against.

If one person starts yelling, it’s easy from there. Don’t be afraid to be the first person to start yelling at a Nazi

Budget cuts come for us all. My contract with Amtrak is not being renewed and it's up tomorrow.

I'll have more time to work on the Map Center but until it's fully off the ground, I'm a GIS analyst with 12 years of experience in ESRI, open source, education and cartography.

The American people are smart. They know Trump and Republicans control government and Democrats do not.

LAST MONTH SENATE REPUBLICANS CHANGED THEIR DUMB RULES TO ALLOW A MAJORITY VOTE. Then can do so again.

GOP Senate can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.

Holy shit, this is bad.

Bad enough that it's possible. But why in the hell would you boast about it online?

Jane Goodall, legendary primatologist, has died at age 91 Jane Goodall, primatologist who transformed our understanding of the lives of apes, has died, according to an announcement from the Jane Goodall Institute.

We should all lead a life as interesting and useful

"During a routine time-lapse observation of the solar chromosphere [the thin, reddish layer of the Sun’s atmosphere above the visible surface], I captured a serendipitous moment when an aircraft crossed the field of view. Preserving this transient frame, I employed multiple blending modes to enhance the details of the solar background. Beyond stacking individual video frames, I processed the sequence, undertook colour inversion and synthesised 100 images through combined mean and minimum blending. This dual approach effectively accentuated both bright plages [active regions in the chromosphere] and dark laments through enhanced contrast. "The composite image reveals the evolution of the Sun’s dynamic surface across a two-hour observational period, while the aircraft’s two-second transit remains frozen in time. This layered imaging rearranges time, blending celestial bodies and human technology in one photo."

"This is one of my biggest astrophotography accomplishments to date, and the largest panorama I have ever captured, with the full resolution image containing over a billion pixels from 62 images stitched together. I had envisioned this composition for a long time, capturing the twin glacial rivers with the Milky Way core off to the left of the image, as well as the famous Southern Cross and other pointers high in the centre sky."

If you need a blast of beauty (and who doesn't?) I highly recommend browsing the new Astronomy Photographer of the Year winners. They're spectacular -- and neither of these shots even made it to #1. 🧪🔭
