This admin has spent years going after science. It proposed the largest cut in NASA’s history, about a quarter of the agency and half of its science programs. But last month, a groundbreaking telescope left the launch pad anyway. And the story of how it got there is our good news this Sunday.

I was asked recently about early musical influences on bass, realized I missed this. Because of wealth of styles, genres, grooves & pockets Chuck Mangione's Live At the Hollywood Bowl stands out, especially since I'd only been playing a year by 1979.

It is shameful that the US government continues to ignore the arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu - while denying Palestinian representatives visas to attend the UNGA. All states should enforce the ICC's arrest warrants and hand over Netanyahu to the ICC.

If @science.org is covering it, I guess I should share something here- we have for the first time definitively detected radio emission from a planet around another star! 🔭🧪🎢 What does this mean? Details in thread! (But TL;DR- still not aliens) 🧵 www.sciencenews.org/article/exop...

First radio waves seen from an exoplanet hint at otherworldly auroras

The gas giant Beta Pictoris b, about 63 light-years away, has the mass of 10 Jupiters and a magnetic field thousands of times as strong as Earth’s.

It's been reported the U.S. is paying other governments to accept immigrants, it can't "legally" deport. The U.S. detention centers are privatized for profit business. ICE is a deportation trade for human trafficking and no-one is talking about this. Vote accordingly. #AbolishICE #SheShed

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop.

Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community.

Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered.

Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

I'm so excited to possibly see photos of other planets!!! I wish Carl Sagan was around to see his. When he died, we hadn't yet officially confirmed the existence of exoplanets, which seems like a no-brainer now, but he was one of its most vocal believers and he was right.

They're back! And it turns out their idea of "weird fiction" (and, god forbid, "the New Weird") is even farther from mine than I thought! lareviewofbooks.org/article/new-...

In our article, we discussed the New Weird, along with its Lovecraftian precursors, as a genre where mostly cishet men experience something otherworldly (or something uncannily familiar, like our changing planet), which destroys their ability to see themselves as coherent individuals. These men find a kind of perverse and very human pleasure in losing mastery. We called this, after Lauren Berlant and Lee Edelman, “the

into the everyday.” Our critique of the texts in our initial piece, what we mean when we say they’re not “weird enough” (or queer enough, in a theoretical sense), is based on this point. The weird is about tearing this world apart in order to bring forth a new one—one that is unrecognizable and cannot be mastered. Many of the texts we critique are concerned solely with knitting together a broken world, not breaking it apart. Even when the texts happen at a cosmic scale, they are still stories about world-making—making queer family, home, and life—not world-breaking.
