Check out this new #JWST image.
It's another stunning view of the deep universe, but in the box at right is a small, red blob.
That's a galaxy in which a supernova was detected in March.
That galaxy is thirteen BILLION lightyears away. It's the oldest supernova found so far.

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.
Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Any #scifi recommendations?
I’m looking for a story:
* about highly competent people
- who butt heads but work together
- to manage emergencies
- in an isolated environment without backup
* that says something about society

Request for #BookSky - I just finished the #LadyAstronaut series by @maryrobinettekowal.com - what should I read next?
I loved the blend of anthropology, sociology, and good science in the Lady Astronaut series.
I want more plausible SF with competent astronauts scraping the edges of their skills!

Yes, there’s a reason alright.
Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge

I'll put this marker down now: if we go into a shutdown and Dems actually hold the line and don't immediately cave, their poll numbers will go up
90% of the reason their numbers are so low with non-Rs is they've managed exactly zero concrete opposition so far

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

I do not want to vilify veterans. I believe our policies of unjustified violence, coupled with inadequate care, have created some very broken people.
"out of the three mass shootings today,"
Iraq War veteran Thomas Sanford has been identified as the gunman who attacked Grand Blanc Mormon church, killing 2 people and setting it ablaze. Out of the three mass shootings today, two of them have been carried out by Iraq war veterans.

I'm glad one of the firefighters recently detained by ICE while fighting the Bear Gulch Fire is home. It took the work of community and legal advocates to secure his release after weeks of detention.

"Labels" can work as shorthand to expeditiously communicate what you are. But they're only as useful as they are relevant to you. You are not beholden to any label.
If-- at any point-- a label no longer represents you? That's fine! Don't be afraid of change.
Nobody can define what you are but you.
