Another example of media failure.

This extremely wealthy woman was drinking, driving 80mph in her Mercedes, and killed two young boys w/her car in front of their families—but media portrays her as the victim.

This is how media normalizes white supremacy. Unacceptable.

I didn’t realize that the Dutch fought for their bike lanes. There’s a lot of history within this that I’m currently naive about but excited to learn!

Here’s the article I’m starting with — How the Dutch got Their Cycle Paths: https://www.pps.org/article/how-the-dutch-got-their-cycle-paths

Money doesn't buy everything. Congratulations, Karen Bass.

Karen Bass elected, becoming L.A.'s first woman mayor-
Bass overcame Caruso's enormous financial advantage. He spent more than $100 million of his own money.

BREAKING: A judge overturned Georgia’s ban on abortion starting around six weeks into a pregnancy, ruling Tuesday that it violated the U.S. Constitution and U.S. Supreme Court precedent when it was enacted. The ban had been in effect since July. https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-health-government-and-politics-atlanta-58ba677dd47afad6d25d9887f17e8763?taid=6373d88978439d000178e541&utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter

It was really nice to contribute to this image of the Cone Nebula that ESO just released to mark 60 years of collaboration. It's one of the many things I love about my current job here: working with our amazing visual team to deliver cool images for you to enjoy.

What you see here is a pillar of dust and gas sculpted by the intense radiation of stars further up, outside of the field of view.
