This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.

In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.

It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

And when push

I will send a fully armed battalion

Tomorrow I am moving to France.

Why?

Because I would rather my taxes go to fund health care for people I don't know than to incarcerate and deport people I don't know. I would be willing to pay 2X the taxes, even more, if the money went to helping people rather than harming them.

France has officially endorsed the UN Open Source Principles, setting a global precedent! This move highlights open source as a governance model for the digital age, emphasizing principles like inclusivity, security, and sustainability. With initiatives like BlueHats and code.gouv.fr, France is leading by example in the public sector's adoption of open source. #OpenSource #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #UNPrinciples https://camptocamp.com/en/news-events/france-becomes-first-government-to-endorse-un-open-source-principles%2C-now-what-

Trump’s Natl Guard order is the first time a president has activated a state’s National Guard without a request from the state’s governor since 1965. Then, LBJ sent troops to Alabama to protect demonstrators, not to attack them.

On the freeway today, a vehicle between San Francisco and San Mateo today had a huge banner across its rear window reading "TRUMP revenge tour".

In the HOV lane. Only the driver.

"On August 19, 2024, a Tesla Semi caught fire after a crash in Placer County, California, which released toxic pollution and closed I-80 for sixteen hours.[40] It took 50,000 US gal (190,000 L) of water to extinguish the fire."

I like Wikipedia and the fact that it "remembers".
