A distant quasar being lensed four times by a foreground galaxy (top left). Simple, beautiful proof of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Observed by JWST/NIRCam, processed by landru79 (X).

I've been really broody lately. I might be menopausal? but that's neither here nor there.I miss holding babies and today I realised I haven't held a baby for years. YEARS. I haven't even seen a baby since before Covid.

There were 4,349 book bans across the US during the fall 2023 semester.

That's more than the bans reported during the entire 2022 school year.

Nothing scares conservatives more than a multi-racial generation of young people who ask critical questions and speak truth to power.

Thank you to Stephen Colbert and everyone at The Late Show for the opportunity to come and speak about my new book, “My Lost Freedom.” These stories are important, and I'm grateful for the chance to share mine.
George Takei: This Heirloom Preserves The Memory Of My Family’s Internment During WWII
Activist, author and acting legend George Takei shares the gut-wrenching story of his family’s experience during WWII, when racism and war hysteria led the United States government to imprison 125,000 Japanese-Americans in internment camps. His new book, “My Lost Freedom,” chronicles his family’s experience in a way that makes it easy for parents to teach their children about this dark period in America’s recent history. #Colbert #GeorgeTakei #MyLostFreedom #Books Subscribe To "The Late Show" Channel: http://bit.ly/ColbertYouTube Watch full episodes of "The Late Show": http://bit.ly/1Puei40 Listen to "The Late Show Pod Show" podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/Awagtx95?sid=yt Like "The Late Show" on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1df139Y Follow "The Late Show" on X: http://bit.ly/1dMzZzG Follow "The Late Show" on Instagram: http://bit.ly/29wfREj Watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert weeknights at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 PM CT.

The world makes a lot more sense when you understand that the world’s most powerful people are certain that the world is ending soon, be it through climate change or Biblical Armageddon

They don’t see any purpose in long-term sustainability, so they’ll happily abuse the rest of us until doomsday

Astronomers have found the most massive stellar black hole hole in the galaxy yet, because it's tossing around its companion star like a toy ball. Also? It's pretty close to us, on the cosmic scale of things.

"Donald Trump is a racist" is a factual statement. It is not a partisan or biased statement.

Donald Trump is so racist that the *Nixon* Administration sued him for discrimination.
I might have to write a sternly worded letter to the Times.

Every iteration of the collapse of twitter features Elon Musk saying "just give me more money and the bots will go away" even as the bots multiply and the quality of the site keeps declining.
"Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots."
