Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Valentina Gomez announced her run for Texas’ 31st Congressional District with one of the most vile racist messages I’ve ever seen:
“Vote for me so we can kick every dirty Muslim out of Texas.
Save your daughters from getting ra**d by Muhammad”

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

For World AIDS Day 2025: the stigma of HIV & AIDS was so strong that many avoided talking about their diagnosis until their final days.
In other cases, the families kept the secret for decades after.

In 1983, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov had triple bypass surgery at NYU Medical Center, during which he contracted HIV from transfusions.
His doctors advised him not to disclose his status because of anti-AIDS sentiment.
He died 1992 from AIDS-related complications.

Beautiful!
On Mars, dust grains are ~ the same size as visible light wavelengths, so they scatter red light away (Mie scattering) and let blue through near the Sun.
On Earth, air molecules are far smaller, scatter blue away (Rayleigh) and leave red.
Same physics, inverted colors!

My artwork of a Sunset on Mars. Dust and small particles suspended in the Martian atmosphere scatter light in the direction of the Sun forward. This creates a blue halo around the setting Sun, rendering a Martian landscape quite different from its terrestrial equivalent.

Sometimes I imagine what it would have been like had we adapted to Covid instead of giving up.
If we had clean air in public spaces.
Respirators in healthcare.
Free masks for those who need them.
Better tests & treatment.
Paid time off.
We would all be healthier.
