Convince me that this episode hasn't revealed in stark contrast Director(s) Bhattacharya's true motivations and values.

Free plug-in solar panels to be rolled out to some households The technology is designed to be a simpler and more affordable way of benefiting from renewable energy

"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced."

This is how you do a just transition.

NHS approves new treatment for aggressive cancer that could triple life expectancy Also known as Ziihera, the antibody treatment targets a protein called HER2, which stimulates tumour growth. It works by activating the immune system to eliminate cancer cells and reduces HER2 levels

my little sister worked on this cancer trial!! everybody say well done Liv ✨

US government targets microplastics for research and potential drinking-water regulation The EPA released its latest proposed Safe Drinking Water Act Contaminant Candidate List, and HHS announced a new research program for plastics and human health

For the first time, the US Environmental Protection Agency is including microplastics and pharmaceuticals on the list of drinking-water contaminants that the agency is considering for regulation.

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

We all known A*azon tends to sell books bellow list prices, but I've recently found them selling books at below WHOLESALE prices. I know this because I own a store. That's fucked up.
Anyways, support your local book stores. Shit's tough.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

We really should just tax these billionaires and build outstanding public transportation and public spaces that encourage walking, biking, and gathering.

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

OOP

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

This is a great analogy for so many destructive people let loose with the levers of power at the moment.

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

This (zenodo.org/records/1945...) is one of the worst examples of complete horseshit, packaged in the trappings of science, that I have every seen.

If they want to study these compounds scientifically, fine (with appropriate IRB approvals), but this is not that.

Budapest tonight

The biggest street party you ever saw

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Boy I would not like to be sponsored by Workday

In Springsteen’s words: everybody has a Hungary heart

It’s amazing that we now talk about the President like he’s some kind of unknown entity lurking in a warren he’s burrowed under a major city. Real Ridley Scott-type atmosphere.

A black and white photo of Dr. Reatha Clark King from the 1960s. She is wearing a white lab coat and has short hair. Dr. King is adjusting the stopcock on a lab apparatus to fill a vial that she is holding in her left hand.

Chemist Reatha Clark King was born #OTD in 1938.

Her calorimetry work on gaseous fluorine compounds at the National Bureau of Standards contributed to NASA's investigations of various rocket fuels for the space program. She was the first Black woman to work as a chemist at NIST. 🧪 👩‍🔬

Lagers pose added challenges to brew than ales for smaller breweries. Need lots of chilling capacity & precise temp ctl at the brew house and cellar. Yeast management can be finicky needing similar temp precision. Longer cold lagering ties up tank capacity. Expected to be bright so needs filtering.

This isn’t about differing political opinions. It’s about a man who has presided over the destruction of American biomedical research. Bhattacharya deserves no homecoming @stanforduniversity.bsky.social. He should be shunned forever. Good riddance.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Nice with the sun setting behind them for the walk off the helicopter. Beat that Top Gun

I was wondering too. But I wonder if it was the flexibility in case they ended up far from their scheduled splashdown spot or were injured.
I also wonder why they didn’t just lift the whole capsule onto or scoop it up on that well deck of the amphibious carrier ship.

I like that, around the time of the service module separation, they made sure to point out the important and essential part the ESA played in this mission by providing the command service module.

The UFL postponed kickoff of tonight's game between the Orlando Storm and Louisville Kings as the Artemis II landing played on the scoreboard inside the football stadium. The crowd cheered at splashdown.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!
