BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead.
(And no, I'm not taking questions about this.)

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

NGC 613 - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2gMssee

Spiral galaxy NGC 613 and the search for the progenitor of SN 2016gkg. Pockets of star formation are visible as green nebulas of gas in this near-infrared and visible image. The galaxy's bar is quite distinct and completely within the bounds of the image, but much of the outer arms are not included. I will mark the approximate position of the supernova with a Flickr annotation. I find the circumnuclear ring of star formation to be especially beautiful in this image, though you'll have to zoom in to see it clearly.

I spent a good number of days working on this, which feels incredibly slow compared to the pace I've been keeping with the single filter (grayscale) images of galaxies from the past couple of months. There were a whole lot of cosmic rays to deal with, and I did my best, though there are still a few hiding here and there. I bumped up the saturation a good bit along with the clarity and dust texture of the nucleus.

Data from the following proposal were used to create this image:
The Progenitor of Supernova 2016gkg

Red: ACS/WFC F814W
Green: ACS/WFC F606W
Blue: ACS/WFC F435W

North is 25.19° counter-clockwise from up.

It’s almost Halloween and I’m terrified thinking of all the skeletons walking around, hiding inside people. And nobody’s doing a damn thing about it!!

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

I had great seats when he came to our local venue a few times. And so, I got some great photos.
