When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world.
The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all.
It truly is healing to me.

Social Security has worked well for decades. Republicans saw it as a money pot that they could take over. They call it an “entitlement” when it isn't one. So they have to wreck it so they can peel away our money and make it look like they're fixing it. It wasn't broken. They're breaking it now.

This is a stunning example of an Einstein ring.
The bright, diffuse galaxy in the centre is closer to us—and it's so massive, it's bending spacetime itself, turning light from a far more distant galaxy behind it into a ring.
It's bending the very fabric of the Universe.

The planets orbit the Sun at different speeds, with the inner planets moving the fastest—they need to, to resist being pulled in by the Sun's gravity.
Here's a side-by-side comparison (race?) of their velocities!
