interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

today I learned that the earth rise photo from 1968 was not expected and they had to scramble to get color film into the camera to capture that image. Also, fabulous shots from this week and a bit about what’s in each frame.

A star scientist showed that better genetics lessons could reduce racism. It was the death knell for his career
Brian Donovan had persuaded high school teachers and education researchers that prejudice might be ended by changing how genetics is taught.

Around the office park: between rainstorms I finally caught the limpkin I’ve been hearing for weeks, in spite of Merlin App saying that limpkin is “unlikely.” Take that! Also a great egret.

Eulogy for the CIA Factbook: The free standard for world facts, long an educational staple, is gone
The Trump administration has shut down the CIA World Factbook, and there's much lamenting about the demise of a free source that many people used to check basic facts about countries.

Another step in Trump & Hegseth’s relentless effort to politicize the military. By the time this stuff gets the attention it deserves it will be too late. But I will keep talking and writing about it.

guys never let someone tell u that ur too much of a freak. Kate Bush's record company tried to get her to release something other than Wuthering Heights as her debut single. they said it was too weird & wouldn't chart well. but she didn't listen to them & now she's Kate Bush. never stop being weird

Painted buntings!! There were three at the feeder, two males and a female. Sorry for the blurriness, need to get a real camera. Also, they are significantly more brightly colored than the phone captures.

Turning on an immune pathway in tumors could lead to their destruction
By activating an immune signaling pathway inside cancer cells, MIT researchers found a way to force tumors to produce a molecule that leads to their own destruction.

Fire King in honor of No Kings Day 3 is a scarlet almost geranium-red rose that stands out against its dark, leathery foliage. He has a strong, musky fragrance that emits from double blooms.Bred in France in the 1950s, this Floribunda produces clusters of 2” blooms in flushes throughout the season.

Excellent article! Speaking as a breast cancer survivor, every fuckbrained idiot in town will turn up and try to tell you crap like eating a frozen lemon every day will cure you. Cut these assholes off. Get to a cancer center and do what they tell you. Science works.
