Two galaxies seen in a 'joust' preceding a cosmic mega-merger
Astronomers have observed two distant galaxies - both possessing roughly as many stars as our Milky Way - careening toward each other before their inevitable merger at a time when the universe was about a fifth its current age, a scene resembling two knights charging in a joust.

Disability is not a moral failing. Everyone who lives long enough will become disabled eventually. You can’t “try harder” your way out of it. People can’t accept disability is a part of life, so they blame us for being sick as a way to convince themselves it’ll never happen to them. It will.

#CDNpoli Carney understands how economies actually work, and has experience managing crises. Canada came out strong from the US-caused 2008 Great Recession, thanks in part to Carney's Bank of Canada leadership. Now, another US-caused crisis. It's different, it will be tough, but he's got this.
