This is #Zelensky as he was dressed to speak to a joint session of the US Congress. A military commander-in-chief wearing what amounts to dress battle fatigues with the crest of his nation. It's obvious this was the image he wanted to project.

A leader at war.

Cowardly Republicans who carry water for #Putin have been dogpiling him for not wearing a suit. Which reminds me a lot of Republicans dragging President Obama for wearing the wrong color suit.

In a saner society, every one of these Republican culture war gambits would be recognized for what they are: red herrings. Use of red herrings means you've conceded the main argument. That is, if you have any self-respect or dignity.

People on the left often make the mistake of trying to seriously engage the red herring instead of just shaming the person for being obtuse and intellectually dishonest

We know why Zelensky made the choice he made. And so do Republicans.

Ben Shapiro is ranting about Glass Onion because it is such an effective poke in the ribs to Elon Musk.

By the way, I agree with the film's premise that making companies successful is not always correlated with intellect. In Musk's case it is clearly correlated with bravado & slippery ethics

Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human.

But evolution is not linear. It branches and branches. Divides in some places and recombines in others. #science

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?

Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.

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.

Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.
