the shock and accusation on her face.......

Republicans have pulled their dangerous, egregious bill gutting the Endangered Species Act (ESA) from the House Floor 🎉

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

guess who just got yelled at

A black and white comic, three panels stacked one on top of the other with white gutters. In the top panel, a toad looks questioning as a balloon from off panel exclaims, "You poor creature!" In the middle panel, the toad looks quite literally the most crestfallen I've ever seen a face as the balloon from off panel says, "It must be so hard..." And in the last and bottom panel, the toad lights up, stars appearing around their head, warmed by the words in the balloon from off panel that continues, "...being the most beautiful toad in the world!"

was recently reminded of one of my all-time favorite bits of sequential acting, drawn by Natalya Lobanova

okay so maybe I'm leaving him to cure for a few months, he doesn't need to be supervised the whole time

Quiet Posters feed not working

why.bsky.team subscribed to the anti anti ai block list, blocking over 300 000 users

If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

The Trifid Nebula, M 20, from my backyard, 15 km North from Sydney's city center, on 15th June 2020. This image compiles 40 x 300s images (3.3 hours total integration time) obtained with my Skywatcher Black Diamond 80, an Orion X0.8 focal reducer (f/6), the ZWO ASI178MC camera and an OPTOLONG L-Pro filter. I used the ZWO ASIAir to control the camera, the mount (Skywatcher AZ-EQ6) and the guiding system (ASI120MM + Orion 50mm finderscope). Flats and darks included. Data processed with Siril software.

A new picture of NGC 3147 from Hubble, comprised of data collected very recently, some of which was taken just a couple of weeks ago. This is in near-infrared and visible light, so the dust lanes look extra reddish. There's a certain transparency to the disk showing reddish background galaxies that I quite like, thanks to the near-infrared wavelengths in the red channel. It's one of those galaxies that fits nicely within the Hubble footprint, so this is a nearly complete picture of the brighter parts of the whole object. I enhanced the saturation and clarity of the whole galaxy, and the center dust lanes have been greatly sharpened. The small hole left where the chip gaps intersected near the nucleus was filled with data cloned 180° from the other side of the nucleus. This image was creating using data from the Proposal That Just Keeps Giving. The Hubble Constant to 1%: Physics beyond LambdaCDM Red: WFC3/IR F160W Green: WFC3/UVIS F814W Blue: WFC3/UVIS F555W North is NOT up. It is 42.64° clockwise from up.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Absolutely incredible.

[ENGLISH ALT-TEXT] A surreal artwork in warm sepia and gold tones. A masked woman, Lilith, kneels on a wooden scaffold and carves a marble wall covered with the relief of a tree heavy with fruit. A golden serpent winds around her, its sinuous body catching the light. Below, the fragmented head of a colossal statue lies half-buried in stone. Thin lines of gold run through the composition like veins of memory, linking Lilith’s gesture, the serpent, and the fallen face. The atmosphere is quiet, sacred, and timeless. [FRANÇAIS TEXTE ALTERNATIF] Une œuvre onirique aux teintes sépia et dorées. Une femme masquée, Lilith, agenouillée sur un échafaudage de bois, sculpte dans le marbre la façade d’un arbre chargé de fruits. Autour d’elle, le Serpent d’Or s’enroule, son corps lumineux suivant le mouvement de la main qui taille. En dessous repose la tête brisée d’une statue colossale. De fines lignes d’or traversent la scène, reliant le geste de Lilith, le serpent et le visage effondré. L’atmosphère est silencieuse, sacrée, hors du temps.
