Video Showed an Officer Trying to Stop His Partner From Killing a Man.

Now We Know Police Investigators Never Even Asked About the Footage.

We obtained the NYPD’s full investigation into the killing of Kawaski Trawick, including documents and audio of interviews with the officers.

The records provide a rare window into how exactly a police department examines its own after a shooting.

@davidnjoku Ha! Or perhaps just because you have the appropriate level of disinterest in the Kardashians.

@davidnjoku Last year, I was staying at a hotel in Manchester and ended up in a lift with a little-known Black British actor, whom I recognised from a bit part in a 15 year-old miniseries. I told him so and his dumbfounded expression was priceless.

We got talking outside later that evening, and he confessed that he was so surprised because I'm white, and he hardly ever gets recognised by white people. Especially not from 15 years ago!

@OutOnTheMoors I laughed way too hard at this. 😆

Galactic collisions result in a billion-year gravitational dance, as shown in this captivating supercomputer simulation. The simulation depicts the collision of two spiral galaxies and is complemented by actual images of galactic collisions at various stages captured by Hubble.

NASA Scientific Visualization Studio - Galaxy Collisions: Simulation vs Observations

Galaxies are vast swarms of billions of stars along with huge interstellar clouds of gas and dust. A spiral galaxy has a broad, thin disk shape, with a bulge of stars in its core, Within the disk are winding arms of dark dust lanes and bright star-forming regions, This structure is stable when left alone, but is relatively easily disturbed when another galaxy passes near. Astronomers have studied galaxy interactions for decades, and Hubble s keen vision has been particularly useful for examining new details.A 2008 Hubble press release unveiled 59 images of galaxy interactions. Each image, however, captures only one moment in a billion-year-long collision process. This visualization of a galaxy collision supercomputer simulation shows the entire collision sequence, and compares the different stages of the collision to different interacting galaxy pairs observed by Hubble. The two spiral galaxies in the simulation distort, twist, and merge together, matching different images at different times and different viewing angles. With this combination of research simulations and high resolution observations, these titanic crashes can be better illustrated and understood.

Weirdly, Mario is canonically Muslim, as evidenced from these pictures Nintendo released in 1996 as part of a set of quiz cards.

Salam alaikum, Mario.

@thoralf @atomicpoet Well, it's a little slow, but works remarkably well otherwise, and is intuitive as well (to me at least).

And a phone app is on the way! 😁

So I've just set up an account on calckey.social, and will shortly be migrating my followers from Masto. Devs will soon be adding the functionality to import content archives, making the process of migrating from Masto - while still being able to use it from your Calckey account! - seamless. Thank you to @atomicpoet for being such an effective evangelist for Calckey. It's looking super-slick so far, even only using the web app on a phone.
