Opinion | Trump’s War With Iran Has Weakened America The president should at long last recognize the ineptitude of his impulsive, go-it-alone approach.

“Mr. Trump should at long last recognize the ineptitude of his impulsive, go-it-alone approach,” the Times editorial board writes. “He should involve Congress and seek help from America’s allies to minimize the damage from his war.”

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Oh dear 🙁

Me too, but I went back to the ‘join queue’ page on the #radiohead website and it took me to the place where I’d been booted out. Got to ticket page 3rd time lucky

Oh dear - best of luck

Hope you got them in the end…I did eventually

Me too. It says it might be Apple Private Relay but I’m not using either of those
#radiohead #fail

Thanks #radiohead and #axs - really fucking helpful after waiting in the queue

Through the wait for the queue for the queue and the queue for the queue. Now in the queue #radiohead

There’s an Edmund Dulac feel to this one. He often did midnight blue skies

Just like ours back in the 60s.
And now I have one again; a secondhand treasure from our local recycling group. I got it for my grandchildren to play with when they come over, honest

This illustration still scares me now…
