From a new paper in Nature.... Satellite light pollution is becoming a major problem. If it continues at this rate, this is what our deep space telescope images of the universe will look like.

One of my joys is visiting dark sky parks... and nwo you can't go without seeing many satellites.

“When you are naked with other people, you are already showing yourself physically. There’s nothing to hide; no disguise. And so you tend to be more open, develop deeper relationships, and you talk more openly.” ~Laurent Luft

Social nudity can shift how people see themselves — not by changing their bodies, but by changing the focus.

When everyone looks different, feeling “less” than others starts to lose meaning.

It becomes freeing when you realize you never had to compare in the first place.

My immediate thoughts on Julia Ducournau's ALPHA

(I'm still processing it... There's some very confronting and devastating subject matter here which truly aims to provoke you; in the hopes of eliciting empathy)

Messy, flawed, yet, ultimately: beautiful & urgent.

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.

This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

UCP MLA under a recall cloud has issued a statement…

- Blaming teachers for her recall
- defending the use of the notwithstanding clause as being “necessary” (it wasn’t)
- suggesting that the organizer is abusing his position.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Caller - Healthcare is collapsing and privatization doesn't solve anything, what are you going to do?

Smith - Well, healthcare was struggling when there were experts involved, so we've gotten rid of them and feel pretty confident.

A non-negotiable for Democrats in the 2028 primaries is that they must promise to expand and reform the court. The Supreme Court has lost all legitimacy to rule and it needs to be completely overhauled. Nothing less would be an abject failure and acquiescence to Republican ratfucking of the court.
SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.

This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Re-Watching Van Helsing (2004)!

You would think everyone would want a monster hunter to come to town and take out the monsters that plague them. Unfortunately, you really don't know cowards that well! What are they supposed to do when they don't have to cower, hide and scream shrilly?

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

TODAY, UCP government denied the Chief Electoral Officer a supplemental budget required to prepare a referendum on Alberta’s separation from Canada.

Is #ForeverCanadian safe to presume that this is an indication that no such referendum will take place?

“Lukaszuk is hoping the government chooses to adopt it as policy and avoids a province-wide vote.

Going straight to a referendum would be the nuclear option. He wants the government to save the province from a “divisive, prolonged referendum campaign.”

Can someone please explain to me why people from outside NYC are so afraid of Mamdhani?

He doesn’t seem to be proposing anything particularly radical, and his message is obviously resonating with people who actually live there.

What am I missing?
