Amazing partial lunar eclipse of the earth when viewed beyond them both
NASA’s DSCOVR satellite caught the Moon photobombing the Earth from a distance of a million miles.
That’s about four times farther away than the Moon itself.

House Democrats just DEFEATED a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education."
6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.

advances by leaps; and the impulse for each leap is either some new observational resource, or some novel way of reasoning about the observations.

Philip baptized a eunuch so the New Testament is banned there as well?
An associate dean told English faculty “literature with major plot lines that concern gay, lesbian or transgender identities should not be taught in core-curriculum classes…faculty may assign textbooks with chapters that cover transgender identity, so long as they do not talk about the material.”🙃
Plato Censored as Texas A&M Carries Out Course Review
A&M officials have also instructed English faculty not to teach books in core classes that have major plotlines concerning gay, lesbian or transgender identities.

Among my many esoteric interests are shaped trompe l'oeil paintings like this one by 18th-century French painter François-Xavier Vispré (front & back shown below). I'm fascinated not only by the illusion but also by the care in creating an irregular shape to match the elements depicted

People should think of Trump’s tariffs as an additional federal tax that is levied on their after tax net income. It also gets retirees paying federal tax again on their social security and other retirement income.
See if the tariffs are popular with anyone when viewed that way.
