Beautiful!
On Mars, dust grains are ~ the same size as visible light wavelengths, so they scatter red light away (Mie scattering) and let blue through near the Sun.
On Earth, air molecules are far smaller, scatter blue away (Rayleigh) and leave red.
Same physics, inverted colors!

My artwork of a Sunset on Mars. Dust and small particles suspended in the Martian atmosphere scatter light in the direction of the Sun forward. This creates a blue halo around the setting Sun, rendering a Martian landscape quite different from its terrestrial equivalent.

![here is no question that the generations-long erosion of the
U.S. manufacturing base, and the diminution of the unionized pension jobs that this sector had offered, disproportionately harmed working-class men. (This is perhaps especially true for Black men, whose access to these steady, well-paying jobs greatly expanded following the victories of the civil-rights movement.) Ongoing industrial collapse has shaped many of the statistics that are central to the man-crisis discourse.
[highlighted]
Yet, if you tilt some of the most commonly cited data points this way or that, you can just as easily argue on the behalf of a woman crisis as a man crisis—or, perhaps most accurately, for an ongoing multidirectional crisis affecting us all,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xbsuw4ceyirmgtbscyptwgbe/bafkreid7oybg6am6zsw5tm7hgkji362xtccn6wx6ki4vzbnsefidr7jm6m@jpeg)

From time to time in Los Angeles I meet people who were involved in the Nakatomi business. They always find this time of year difficult.

For another thing, it's a fearful loser slogan. It's an extension of 35-40 years of loser Democratic politics in which all they care about is not being called commies by Republicans. Guess what: they're gonna call you commies anyway, so maybe fucking stand for something.

Messy isn't always bad!
Like I said in my comment to you yesterday, I got the writing done and started the drawing of my first comic thanks to your Comics School! The thing that tripped me up the most at first was feeling it shouldn’t look messy. Now it’s that my hands don’t work because of PsA. 🤷🏻♀️

I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

This is the second largest payout from a private university to the Trump admin yet, second only to Columbia’s $200m

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

I don't think that the internet was ever filled to the brim with only useful, verifiable info, but it was at one time a vast repository of knowledge. AI articles cannibalizing the web is the opposite of knowledge collection. It takes what once was knowledge and refracts it into something useless.
