The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe
Of all my images I feel that this one is the most profound: A relatively empty looking field in the southern constellation Fornax, about the size of the full Moon. This area of the sky is devoid of most bright stars, and contains almost no obscuring interstellar dust or hydrogen emission. It is therefore a window out into the deepest reaches of the observable Universe. It is also the location of the famous Hubble Ultra Deep Field and several other HST studies over the last couple of decades.
With around 60 hours of exposure the limiting magnitude is close to 25.0 which is 25 million times fainter than the dimmest naked-eye stars.

At this depth, the background is filled with tens of thousands of distant galaxies. But to see them properly, we must go on a journey - outside of our own Milky Way galaxy. To filter the many background galaxies from the foreground stars I used Gaia DR3 data to identify and remove all stars in the image, and thus revealing just the extragalactic background.
Every single point of light in the resulting image is a galaxy!
There are over 20,000 distant galaxies in this single image. With redshifts of up to z=3.354 the farthest are nearly 12 billion light years away. At that distance the field of view spans an incredible 112 x 147 million light years.
It is clearly noticeable that the galaxies are not distributed randomly. Instead, galaxy groups and clusters form long filaments with massive voids in between. ...

Oh I see. You remain unconvinced. My passion for graphic design frightens you. Well, would you preorder my book with 25% off for members at B&N with code PREORDER25 if I told you Carl Hiaasen said I’m the drunk granddaughter of Raymond Chandler???

If Raymond Chandler had a wild and wayward great-granddaughter, she'd write like April Wolfe. The dizzying plot of Bury Me in Vegan Leather sends the characters careening and crashing through Los Angeles in ways that probably shouldn't make you laugh, but you do. Sober, buzzed, or hungover, Barbara "Bobby Sockett" is a private eye you won't soon forget.
The city of angels doesn't stand a chance.

Not so deep thought:
The unmarked federal officers that have been
"arresting" protestors in Oregon and the ones who were in DC are going to be the ones in the streets of major cities on election night under the guise of
"protecting people from antifa terrorists." They'll be
"guarding" polling stations, in predominantly liberal districts, and they'll be the ones surrounding the White House, protecting Trump when he loses the election and refuses to leave.
Except there will be more of them. Lots more. They will be Border Patrol, ICE, and Corrections Officers who are deputized by and only follow orders from Trump and are some of his most ardent supporters.
They will brutalize anyone who takes to the streets to protest the results.
What we are seeing now is a dress rehearsal.

I've been feeling sick about the recent spate of young riders killed by drivers. Riding on US roads is exponentially more dangerous than it should be. Roughly 1000 riders a year are human sacrifices to the worst kind of apathy. So many good people killed because our culture doesn't care enough.

Can we talk about this little fucker for a minute? Fam lugging baby stroller + suitcase to train station couldn't get past it easily. Robot doesn't yield ROW, just freezes mid curb ramp. These obstaclebots deserve to get smooshed under the wheels of semis, certainly don't belong on sidewalks.

red and black autonomous delivery robot sits directly on a yellow textured curb ramp, blocking the pedestrian crosswalk path. In the background, pedestrians carrying luggage and pushing a stroller walk across the intersection, having just made their way around the obstructing robot.
