RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music."

Call your rep. Demand a town hall. If they’re GOP and won’t give one, invite a Dem to your district in their place. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Social media post by Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow
) posted recently, with the text: 'Incredible energy at my town hall in Aurora. Thank you to the over 1,300 folks who have come to hear how we’re fighting back against President Trump’s executive orders and budget.' The post includes a photo of a crowded town hall in Aurora, showing Rep. Jason Crow speaking on stage in front of a large audience seated in an auditorium with a brick wall, large windows, and a screen displaying 'Welcome to Townhall' with his image.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

New JWST image dropped: NGC 2283. ESA chose this spiral galaxy to be Picture Of The Month (POTM) for February 2025. ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, A. Leroy esawebb.org/images/potm2...

A spiral galaxy seen close up and almost face on. It is filled with puffy, patchy clouds of hot gas and dust. Red, orange and yellow colours indicate light emitted by different particles. The brightest colours are in the centre and along the two spiral arms, which wind out from the centre. Star clusters hide in the gas along the arms. A few large, bright white stars are prominent in the foreground, near to us.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE VEIL NEBULA AND IT’S GORGEOUS!!! 🌌✨

A colourful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. It is made of translucent clouds of gas: wispy and thin with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red and yellow colours mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Bright and pointlike stars are scattered across the nebula. The background is black.

We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached.
A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own.

Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations.

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

NEW JWST IMAGE SHOWING A PROTOPLANETARY DISK AROUND A NEWLY FORMED STAR!!! 🤩

A close-in image of a protoplanetary disc around a newly formed star. Many different wavelengths of light are combined and represented by separate and various colors. A dark line across the center is the disc, made of opaque dust: the star is hidden in here and creates a strong glow in the center. A band going straight up is a jet, while other outflows form flares above and below the disc, and a tail coming off to one side.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.
