Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Wonderful tribute to a teacher: young Sofonisba Anguissola paints herself being created by Bernardino Campi -- yet at same time, she is of course creating him! Today is her day.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

A picture I took of Bob Willis in his delivery stride during India's second innings of the 1st Test at Lord's in June 1982. Willis, in his first Test as England captain, took 6 for 101 - and nine wickets in the match - as England won by seven wickets

The EU-Commission wants to negotiate a very sensitive agreement that would allow US authorities direct (!) access to police-stored fingerprints & facial images in Europe.
Potentially, all travelers could be affected by this #EBSP – and people in need for protection.

Been imaging Saturn while its rings are nearly edge-on and tried some infrared filters. At this 889nm methane band, Saturn strongly absorbs light, whereas its rings scatter equally across wavelengths.
Also a good visual demo of how astronomers measure exoplanet atmospheres!

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

An vielen Spieltagen gibt es “umstrittene” Schirientscheidungen und meinetwegen ist die Frage, ob Nutella mit oder ohne Butter (oder gar nicht) gegessen werden sollte, ebenso “umstritten”. Aber in diesem Kontext scheint mir die Wortwahl völlig verkehrt.
