Image release September 2, 2010 ABOUT THIS IMAGE: This image shows the entire region around supernova 1987A. The most prominent feature in the image is a ring with dozens of bright spots. A shock wave of material unleashed by the stellar blast is slamming into regions along the ring's inner regions, heating them up, and causing them to glow. The ring, about a light-year across, was probably shed by the star about 20,000 years before it exploded. An international team of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope reports a significant brightening of the emissions from Supernova 1987A. The results, which appear in this week's Science magazine, are consistent with theoretical predictions about how supernovae interact with their immediate galactic environment. The team observed the supernova remnant in optical, ultraviolet, and near-infrared light. They studied the interaction between the ejecta from the stellar explosion and a glowing 6-trillion-mile-diameter ring of gas encircling the supernova remnant. The gas ring was probably shed some 20,000 years before the supernova exploded. Shock waves resulting from the impact of the ejecta onto the ring have brightened 30 to 40 pearl-like "hot spots" in the ring. These blobs likely will grow and merge together in the coming years to form a continuous, glowing circle. "We are seeing the effect a supernova can have in the surrounding galaxy, including how the energy deposited by these stellar explosions changes...

Glum George Lucas talks about how important trade disputes are.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
The "humorlessness of the left" INVARIABLY means "people didn't laugh when I used slurs and cruel stereotypes as 'jokes'."
This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.
You're amazing, thank you for your hard work all of these years.

This is it folks! An end of an era. After twelve years Alfie had finally been defeated, by me.
"During Covid" is such a pernicious phrase and I hate how hard it is for me to even catch myself referring to it this way. The cultural, social pressure to believe Covid is an event in the past is heavier than any other class consensus lie I can think of.

Here's a song called "Learning to Die"
Chili's is a corporation, it has no personal values or lifestyle.
Bluesky hates trans women so much that when a bunch of people decide to sexually harass us and mass report us, the mods take their side and then even when we're back, they'll scrape posts from however far back it takes to make sure we stay dead.
this website is a fucking joke btw
I do not care for the way transphobes are methodically working to scrub the site of our presence, whether it be via fake block lists or mass reporting spam rushes.
I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
