Hubble Spies an Active Spiral science.nasa.gov/missions/hub...
A luminous swirl set against the deep black of space, the barred spiral galaxy IC 486 glows with a soft, ethereal light in this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image
A vivid digital artwork of a planetary nebula resembling a glowing cosmic eye, with a bright central star surrounded by concentric rings of blue, gold, and white gas. Wispy, luminous filaments radiate outward into a dark star-filled background, creating a dramatic, swirling halo effect.
The void blinked, and in the gap between darkness and forever, an iris of azure flame and gilded interstellar dust unfolds. Tendrils of dying starlight comb the black for a last embrace—a universe-wide sigh dressed in a halo of final, radiant breath.
one day when my mom was well into her dementia she told me about skipping meals so my brother and i could eat
that’s why hunger bothers me so much - my mom literally went hungry so we could eat, and right now as a society we won’t take our surplus and feed others
There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!
Dawn of the Dead was released on this day in 1978 ten years after Night of the Living Dead. George Romero will always be the father of zombie movies.

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!
Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
After that insurrection this should not have been possible…….
This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬
This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

American actor, author, and activist. He is known for his role as Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the USS Enterprise in the Star Trek franchise
This is just sooooo funny. He is going to be soooo embarrassed. Finally. He will lose.
This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.
