I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

For your Tuesday, here's a shot of deep, deep, deep space from JWST. Every bright, six-pointed feature is a star in the Milky Way. Everything else—even the smallest, faintest dots—are whole galaxies millions to *billions* of lightyears away.
A spiral galaxy sits in the centre of the image; smaller galaxies dot the scene, some resolved only a small, colourful smudges. The six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way.

Thought for the day. Migration is part of the human condition. We wouldn't exist as a species without it. We are about to witness the largest migration in history as humanity moves to mitigate the effects of climate change. No line on a map is going to prevent it.

It should be possible to buy high spec kitchen appliances where the higher price is due to better quality parts, higher reliability and a longer operating life, rather than a "smart" wifi connection that enables me to start the dishwasher when I'm overseas.

When reality lands our societies will face a choice - to save everyone we can by doing the necessary work that will end the reign of ideas like "economic growth" and "national self-interest" and discover by doing what lies beyond them or to carry on as we are and loose so much more.

fascism works by painting terrifying visions of the future, and then positioning strongmen as the only ones who can protect you. if progressive movements are also leading with fear, where are people supposed to turn? this is why we need to paint a beautiful vision of a BETTER future:

The best thing about animation is that you can create literally anything and have an artistic style as unique as a fingerprint. So why do 90% of all animated films just copy the Disney/Pixar aesthetic? So frustrating.

Here's another deep field image from JWST. There's something pretty amazing hidden within it, which I'll talk about next. But open up this image and lose yourself in this almost impossibly vast view of our Universe. The six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy.

IMPORTANT: When transporting a giant puffball mushroom you have recently foraged, it is absolutely crucial that you ensure the mushroom is firmly strapped into the passenger seat of your car to guard against sharp braking and potential whiplash.
