Never miss a chance to remind people that Twain went to Angels Camp (& wrote Jim Smiley & His Jumping Frog about it) because he was hiding out from the SFPD, who he had been "after with a sharp stick" for vigilantism & racialized policing, & his friends were afraid they might murder him.

Advice.
Go home early, "Mark"-at any rate,
don't travel late, partieularly in dark
streets. Don't walk around alone o
nights. Above all things, "Mark," don't
under any circumstances take a drop too
much when there is a policeman around,
because you know they're a laying for you.

Do people not understand that all marketing type emails come with an unsubscribe link at the bottom? I am starting to think a lot of people don't know that. (Yes, this is a vague work-related post.)

This is the Dark Shark Nebula (LDN 1235) and it's called that because it's dust (as we lovingly call it) without ionized glow. It takes longer to capture and requires as little light pollution as possible. If you want to see a full-resolution image: app.astrobin.com/i/0enuyp #astrophotography

This is M 8 on the bottom (a.k.a Lagoon Nebula), above that is M 20 (a.k.a. Trifid Nebula), and up and to the left from there is the open star cluster called M 21 (a.k.a Webb's Cross). If you want to see it in full resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/61rgwr #astrophotography #lagoonNebula #svbony #zwo

Two nebulae and a star cluster. It's mostly red/pink with a bit of blue. Many of the stars are bluish also.

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

Their face, eyes, and head are completely covered—similar to ICE. Is their freedom, freedom from recognition so as to not be held accountable for their actions in their communities? Are they hiding their hate? Are they ashamed? It appears that they they know their doing something wrong.
