I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

I want to ask you stop what you’re doing for a second and read this : ALL power stations in major Ukraine’s region , Dnipropetrovsk region, STOPPED WORKING today . Russia bombed them. None is working. No info when it could be fixed. This might sound like I’m being too dramatic but I really am not.

A reminder of the stunning rate of scientific progress: it’s only been 101 years that we’ve known the Universe is larger than the Milky Way. Now we know that it’s at least *1 million* times larger in linear size than the Milky Way (and probably 50 or more times larger than that, even).
Edwin Hubble announced OTD in 1925 that Andromeda and other spiral nebulae were in fact separate galaxies outside the Milky Way, in a paper read to an AAS meeting by H.N. Russell. The Universe was far larger than what many astronomers had imagined; more than just our little island of stars. 🧪 🔭

Fun ⚛️-factlet: the New York New years ball is a recollection of Time Balls, which were used to give accurate time to ships for navigation! Since the speed of light is a million times faster than sound, there is much less time-delay than using a gun salute

Fragments of non-local iron pyrite and heat-fractured stone tools were recently discovered at a 400,000 year old site in England suggesting that Neanderthals were making fire much earlier than previously thought! 🧪

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
