The public needs to get better at owning forms of media and setting up ownership structures so they remain in public hands in perpetuity and can’t be pawned off to oligarchs as soon as they start to become popular/valuable.
Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week.
No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media.
Now imagine if this were done to Republicans.
The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

I made this yesterday. Two colours of very diluted acrylic paint applied to a canvas board with a wallpaper scraper. So simple and poetic.

JWST spotted point-like lights at the edge of the visible universe. Black holes? Nope. Colliding galaxies? Nope. Something never seen before.
These may be primordial clumps of gas collapsing directly into dense clusters of stars--some of the very first galaxies. 🧪🔭

I'm almost ready for my fossil talk with my son's class on Thursday. I made a short presentation this year with lots of pictures so I can show small details easier.
I also have some fossils for the teacher. My son was not impressed with the examples she showed today, so I can help.

My second-favorite state has a nebula named after it, the California Nebula. 🤩 20 hours of integration with my Askar FRA500 (0.7x), AM5N mount, and ASI2600MC Duo camera.

about this time every night, I get hit by a wave of sadness about resigning from Monkey Cage, having worked so hard to make it what it was. The viciousness in the world was victorious this time , but I hope to work on my phoenix wings, or at least have my ashes spread on the strawberry patch.
