I have become such a fan of the Norwegian Consumer Council recently. They don't just do these cool vids, the reports are actually really detailed and insightful and oddly strongly written (for a gov't agency, particularly in Norway). Also not fatalist at all www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree/

Breaking Free

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it.

Hubble has observed many Messier catalog items over 35+ years, including the Orion Nebula, the Omega Nebula, globular star cluster Messier 75, and galaxy Messier 109. Scroll through Hubble’s Messier images, and find your favorite: go.nasa.gov/3Ui2kHl 🔭

Messier 42: A vibrant and colorful image of the Orion Nebula, showcasing swirling clouds of gas and dust in hues of purple, pink, and orange, dotted with bright stars. The nebula is set against a dark cosmic background.

Messier 17: The Omega Nebula features a dense field of stars and interstellar dust clouds. The image showcases vibrant blues, with bright stars scattered throughout the nebula.

Messier 75: A densely packed star cluster, known as Messier 75 (M75), fills the image. The center radiates brightly with numerous stars, surrounded by a halo of smaller, glimmering stars. The background is black.

Messier 109: A large spiral galaxy with a bright core surrounded by swirling dust and stars. The image depicts various shades of blue, illustrating large dust lanes and bright groups of stars.

🚨 California just set a new world record by generating over 50% of its electricity from solar power in May. By moving away from expensive and volatile coal and gas, and instead relying on more affordable clean energy, California can reduce pollution and lower costs for residents.
