"We were born of stars, and in death, we will return to them. Let's not strive to be black holes in the meantime. Let's illuminate the world instead of darkening it, instead of tearing it to pieces. Let's prove we are worthy of being stardust." Courtney M. Privett

That's right, the two LIGO sites (Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington) are not independent instruments, but essential components of a single interferometer designed to detect gravitational waves. If one of the two sites were deactivated, 1/2 🔭🧪

Honest & Independent investigations will need to be done at the first opportunity, to assess the long term damage and security breaches done by DOGE while having access to all government systems. The courts move too slow and complicit Republican House & Senate are providing zero oversight on DOGE…

Commentary: It isn’t just the DEI or climate grants getting the axe from President Trump. Science agencies face up to 55% cuts across the board. This means Ohio students will be denied opportunities for cutting-edge careers given to previous generations buff.ly/rvom6rH

200 climate scientists & meteorologists, terminated NOAA staff & displaced NASA Goddard Institute scientists will live-stream for 100 hours. Today at 1 PM EST through June 1 on how DOGE is impacting weather and climate science. Trailer here: youtu.be/-Go-RCg3AjI Livestream at wclivestream.com/watch

WE ARE RELIEVED TO HEAR A U.S. COURT HAS RULED THAT TARIFFS AGAINST OUR ISLAND WERE ILLEGAL AND A SPECTACULAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, AND REALITY. FLIPPERS UP UNTIL WE ARE PERMANENTLY SHOWN DUE RESPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -PM Tuxley II

It would be helpful if the grocery stores would maintain the ink that prints their receipts. Pre-tariff prices: Miami onion rolls $2.99 Sweetest blueberries $8.99 1/2 lb. Turkey pastrami $8.09

To put it as plainly as possible, we need ALL Senators, regardless of party to do their jobs, protect the American people. We are a FREE nation, not a dictatorship! Please do your jobs representing & protecting us, or we’ll replace you with people who will!

Hard to read - 2 liter Pepsi $2.39 Red leaf lettuce $1.99 5/23/2025

More pre-tariff groceries plus a grocery store dinner

So this is what all the fuss is about?

Happy Saturday 🌞......

Is that the current goal? Make sure your kids eat healthy food as your patriotic duty so your kids can grow up to be soldiers?
