Never wrestle a pig. You can’t win; you get filthy, and soon, you figure out the pig is enjoying it.

Fake space image? Nope! The latest JWST image shows a phenomenon called an Einstein Ring. You are looking at 2 galaxies—an elliptical galaxy closer to us sits at the center, and a more distant spiral galaxy is warped around it. This is a type of gravitational lensing. (1/3)

NGC 2207 and IC 2163, a pair of colliding spiral galaxies 130 million light-years away, host 28 ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). These energetic X-ray binaries hint at intermediate-mass black holes. Star formation surges in their spiral arms. Credit: NASA/Chandra/Hubble/Spitzer

NEW JWST IMAGE OF A BEAUTIFUL EINSTEIN RING

With #SignalGate, I have a thought nobody is mentioning. JD Vance had a discussion regarding strike timing and its geopolitical impacts. If we are bombing bad guys, shouldn’t eliminating them be the point? I cannot imagine our oversea allies appreciate this treatment.

Thirsty Thursday starts at noon, right? It definitely starts at noon this Thursday.

This is what a force for good looks like.

“Someone else has it worse” isn’t comfort it’s dismissal. Your pain is valid. Your trauma is real. You don’t have to downplay what you’ve been through just because someone else is hurting too. There’s no scale for suffering. You’re allowed to feel. You’re allowed to heal.

At least hump day is over......🫠

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

A proposal to severely limit guns that use detachable magazines is approaching final passage in the Colorado legislature. The state's Democratic governor, Jared Polis, is expected to sign it into law.

Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

With Smart Shuffle on, Spotify followed up Krunk with this open.spotify.com/track/4l5nn3... I could taste the mental whiplash.

I am mildly embarrassed that this is in my Liked Songs: open.spotify.com/track/4JC2H3...

Whelp, time to return to the office.

One of the mental behaviors I have had to work on the past year is thinking of time as money. Unless I am selling my labor, my time is worth nothing, everything. I have worked on separating my economic productivity from my actual life.

I was thinking this morning. One of the strongest defenses for capitalism is the economic growth that has occurred during the past 200 years, but with the exponential growth in technology, this growth could be a correlation, not causation. #thoughts #capitalism
