Most US political coverage is just emotion-driven entertainment.

But this was one of the few pieces that's actually quite informative. It's a case study, of sorts, of the rural county that voted for Democrats for 144 years, and then switched to Trump.

This starts getting at the absolute uselessness of the "Democratic Party"

I think this was from the White House Correspondents Dinner, or something like that.
Such a relief to learn that all of my problems are in my head. The thing that I am trapped in and can never escape.
In my neighborhood. Sarcastic, subtle, serious.
It's science, not Santa Claus.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day that marks a significant step forward in our ongoing struggle for equality and justice.

As Opal Lee, "Grandmother of Juneteenth" says: “Freedom really means vigilance to me. I want everybody to be aware that none of us are free until we are all free.”
Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the progress made as well as the work that still lies ahead in dismantling systemic oppression and amplifying the voices and experiences of the Black community.

Together, we can and must work to pave the way toward a future where everyone can thrive, regardless of their background. And such a future is possible as long as we remain resolved to build a society firmly rooted in equality, justice, and shared humanity.

Happy Juneteenth, friends.

Awww yes, journalism...

Jupiter has something like 90+ moons. I'm not going to count.

When I started astronomy they told me 60.

We just keep learning more and more.

Anyway, the big 4 can be remembered
"I Eat Green Cows" (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto)

A lot of the others also have names.

I'm just telling you all this so I can show you this gif of some moons orbiting Jupiter.
