In my quest for minimalism, I have made a relaxing game of balance 🧘 Please try it and let me know what you think? It’s real quick, and I’m proud of this one.

2/ Meta found guilty of lying about Cambridge Analytica & hate speech, violence + misinformation policies. Now they face up to $219 billion in penalties. It took years (and a lot of begging to be believed, while leaning on those who came before me for strength), but the public has finally spoken.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.
