Vicambulate [vahy-KAM-byoo-layt]
(v.)
- To take a stroll about town; to saunter leisurely.

Used in a sentence:
“Percival drew himself up, affronted. ‘Aunt Agatha, please. I wasn’t ‘wandering.’ I was vicambulating, which is considerably more dignified, you know.’”

What if, and I'm just pondering here, we did this at the national level with 340 million people and called it the "Public option", say... through Medicare...?

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

30 years ago yesterday the Galileo probe entered the atmosphere of Jupiter. I made this animation for NASA Ames using traditional methods, paint on acetate cels and shot on 35mm film. It is real time like the old Apollo news animations. My sequences start at +35 secs

2/2 🧵

The Outer Planets by JWST - My final version

Full size image & all info: flic.kr/p/2oUkYSY 🧪🔭
Credit: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/AndreaLuck
The image is divided into four sections, each showing one of the gas giants against a black background. Top left: Jupiter. It appears as a large, round sphere with horizontal bands in shades of light brown, tan, and white. A bright white oval storm sits on the lower right side. A faint ring is visible alongside Europa, one of its satellites, which appears very bright with a star-shaped artifact. Top right: Saturn. It has a pale beige surface with soft horizontal shading. Surrounding it is a wide, bright ring system tilted diagonally. The rings look thin and sharply defined, with multiple subtle bands of light and dark. Bottom left: Uranus. It appears as a smooth blue-green sphere with some whitish circular clouds around the pole that is facing the observer. Surrounding it is a bright circular ring system made up of thin white lines. The rings form a bright, symmetrical halo around the planet. Bottom right: Neptune. It is a blue sphere with slightly brighter and darker circular features on its atmosphere. It also has a thin ring system, dimmer and less defined than Uranus’s in this image, appearing as a faint double oval around the planet. Each planet has its name printed below it in white capital letters.

Maybe it's making things worse, but at least it's trying.
