There's a new telescope this week. Dreamed up in 1998. NSF first funded it in 2005. Its camera sensor is measured in feet. It cost $2B. For that we learn about the universe and not get wiped out by an asteroid like the dinosaurs. We can do great things, when we dream, plan, work, and fund them.

Continued (deliberate) erosion of the norms that made our economy so effective in the 20th century. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Ethics experts said the episode is a potentially ominous preview of how a second Trump administration might use the enormous power the federal government wields over private industry to punish political acts by individual workers. Although federal contracting laws prohibit cutting off a business because of its workers’ private political views, such threats could have a chilling effect, they said.

For any grouping of hospitals we studied, abortion was almost never discussed on hospital websites compared to another common procedure performed by health systems, colonoscopy. doi.org/10.7326/M23-1389

Within subgroups defined by hospital size, profit orientation, and academic status, websites were at least 70 percentage points less likely to describe offering abortion compared with colonoscopy
