1/3 A lot of this has to do with a corresponding movement to limit child labor & make school compulsory for kids. If you're gonna do that, you've got to have a decent place in which to educate those kids, & the architecture itself should speak to the importance of what's happening in the building.

This graphic is a mess. Let’s clean it up.

Opposition infographics are great for outrage, terrible for legal reality. Here’s what’s actually true about Xavier Becerra’s record:

Blacksmith Miram Elbakyan at work in his Granville Island studio. In my view, there are few things cooler in this world than blacksmithing and I love his ‘grotesques,’ especially this top-hatted bird reading an open book. Hint hint.

When I am Governor — if you start chasing people, including U.S. citizens, we get to come after you.

Cross that line in California and we will investigate you. We will arrest you. And we will prosecute you.

Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Fuck.

Artemis II Moon mission lifts children's ambitions in Cornwall As Nasa's Artemis II mission looped the Moon, something important changed back on Earth, says Caitlin Gould. She is the founder and director of TECgirls, a Cornwall‑based organisation aiming to increase the number of women in technology and engineering. Gould said children often struggled to believe careers in space genuinely existed for them, but "actually seeing a mission within their lifetime makes them realise this is real". She said: "Realising that it's a real thing, and with future missions planned, it could be something that they're involved in, that's huge." Gould points to teams at Goonhilly Earth Station, the satellite communications centre that supported the Artemis mission, as proof that "space work was not just something that happens in America". "Although it seems very far away, actually it's been really nice to be able to connect it back to how we are connected to it in Cornwall," she said. Gould is also keen to break down myths about who works in space: "The people that went up into space, they came from a mixture of backgrounds, pilots, engineers and scientists." For TECgirls showing where those careers begin is key. Its Reach for the Sky festival, the aviation and aerospace festival...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

The first women being admitted as undergraduates at Columbia University is something that happened in my lifetime. There’s a lot we take for granted that is ~2-3 generations old, and people in power are actively trying to undo a lot of it.

It's final: Rappler wins vs 2018 SEC shutdown order This comes after the Supreme Court ended the case that sought to shut down the digital media company

I’m thinking of Challenger astronaut Ronald McNair tonight. I bet he’d be thrilled.

A very good 🧵:

There has been virtually ZERO National news coverage of the unprecedented “non hurricane” that’s been storming our islands for over a week! Parts of Maui & Oahu are under still-running red water. Streets have crumbled & fallen into sink holes. We have another 3-4 days before it MAY be over. YOUTUBE
