This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.

“I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.”

A profile in absolute courage.

Kirchner’s the Bus is one of the cleverest, ingenious, well drawn, constraint-based comics ever. Check it out if you’ve never seen it!

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

love this thread
A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

chaser: after local outcry against a massive proposed AWS data center near Tucson (yes, in the desert!), developers agreed to use a less water-intensive cooling system.

AWS has now backed out because "its operations aren't compatible" with the less water-intensive option.
