Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Karin Immergut is an ex-AUSA. That’s no guarantee of character, obviously. There are plenty of ex-AUSAs who are hacks, grifters, climbers, and throne-sniffers. Look at Emil Bove. But some of them give a shit about the rule of law and won’t pretend the emperor has clothes./1

An interesting study shares JWST breathtaking images of a protoplanetary disk seen edge-on around the protostar IRAS04302+2247, still nestled in its birth cloud.
The young star is located 525 ly away in the Taurus star-forming region.

Self-replication seems like a simple thing with DNA; it regulates self-replication for right about everything we consider "alive" (& some we don't).
But what if we want to make stractures out of it?
We can. Self-replicating DNA-based nanoassemblies are a thing. 🧪

15 years of radio observations yielded this amazing view down the throat of a black hole.
We're looking into a jet of plasma shooting out from a supermassive black hole, called PKS 1424+240. The lines depict intense magnetic fields threaded through the jet. 🧪🔭

Very cool news about a newly-measured 'ultramassive' black hole, with some gorgeous gravitational-lensing pics. New mass-measurement method & led by a Brazilian PhD student! 3.5 x 10^10 M_sun, 10^4 x heavier than Sag A*. www.cbc.ca/news/science...
One of the biggest black holes ever was discovered — with a mass of 35 billion suns | CBC News
Astronomers have used a new method to weigh the ultramassive black hole. They hope this will help them better understand how to find and measure them in the future.

I was adopted via closed adoption, born in North Carolina.
It was closed so I have no knowledge of or access to my biological mother’s details. It also means my biological mother isn’t on my birth certificate.
So if birthright citizenship becomes a patchwork right, what’s someone like me to do?

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
