“Inequality is hardly a new feature in America. But the explosion of wealth at the very top is without precedent in U.S. history. At the height of the Gilded Age at the end of the 19th century, the richest handful of Americans had a net worth equivalent to about 3 percent of the country's annual economic output, according to compiled by the French economists Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez. Today, the fortunes of the same 0.00001 percent—about 20 individuals—make up roughly four times as large a share, equivalent to 12 percent of annual output.”

You do not hate the DOGE people enough. Boys with toys breaking things they were too arrogant and lazy to understand.
Because the inquiry was framed only in terms of whether a project "relate[d] at all to DEI" (whatever that might mean to ChatGPT), projects whose abbreviated descriptions contained general references to "history," "culture," or "identity" were frequently identified by ChatGPT as relating to DEI. For example, a project to recover and analyze ancient writings attributed to Moses but excluded from the canonical Hebrew Bible and preserved in fragmentary form (e.g., the Book of Jubilees and the Testament of Moses) was classified as DEI because it claimed to "provide important insight into Jewish thought from two thousand years ago, complementary to insight from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament." Dkt. No. 248-11, at 99, C461-1461 (emphasis added). The project description reflects a highly technical effort involving multispectral imaging,
textual reconstruction, and the recovery of deteriorated source materials. Id. Yet, the assigned
rationale consists of a single sentence linking the project to "Jewish thought," which ChatGPT
considered to be aligned with "DEI" goals. Id.

NGC 4826 - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/2iEerHS
Here's an old favorite galaxy that I'm glad to have had the chance to process some new observations for. This is also known as the Black Eye galaxy, and is among the most striking galaxies that Hubble has looked at. Previously a Hubble Heritage image release, new imagery is around 2.5 times the resolution of the old WF/PC2 imagery. That means more refined details are visible, especially If you are able to zoom all the way in. In fact, the texture of the individual stars forming even the smooth, redder, non star-forming parts the galaxy are now revealed. If you do zoom in, don't mistake that grainy, noisy texture as actual noise. Those are stars!

I went ahead and did use some old WFPC2 data just to show glowing hydrogen gas. This usually works well without lowering the image quality, despite the disparity in resolution.

Data from the following proposals were used to create this image:
PHANGS-HST: Linking Stars and Gas throughout the Scales of Star Formation
The Smallest Nuclear Black Holes

Red: WFC3/UVIS F814W+WFPC2 F656N
Green: WFC3/UVIS F555W
Blue: WFC3/UVIS F438W+F336W+F275W

North is 142.85° clockwise from up.
