Senator Paula SimonsšØš¦Absolutely gut wrenching. This happened not far from where I live; I walked my dog past that building just a few hours before. What an absolute tragedy.

Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.

Paul FairieIt's an interesting time in Alberta politics where the provincial government is trying to make us mad at the federal government ruining our economy while we also have a huge budget surplus but also we're opening temporary portable waiting areas at a children's hospital while it's being overrun with infectious diseases that municipal governments and school boards aren't allowed to do anything about.

š³ļøāššš½I am heartbroken by this news. 5 are dead and 18 wounded from this horrific armed assault at a gay club hosting a drag show night in Colorado Springs.

Fossil fuel industry dupes media, quietly funds non-profits to block renewable energy
Shortly after he took office, President Biden announced a goal of building 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030, enough clean energy to power 10 million homes. For the administration, the offshore wind target was a part of a larger strategy of reducing carbon pollution and putting the country on track for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. But, like many clean energy plans, this one was met with immediate resistance.
