It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Last night, the JWST observed Uranus for calibration. Even like that the result is awesome, so here you go with my processed image of that observation! 🔭

Observation of Uranus by the JWST. The planet itself appears mostly blue, but the pole, a big patch, is white. Some storms can also be spotted near the pole. The rings of the planet can be spotted in infrared light, so they appear in that image (in orange color).

Guys, i have crunched the numbers and the rate at which we use and discard a social media site is increasing exponentially. My calculations predict that in 5 years, we will be going through 2 Bebos a day

I suppose this is a personal judgement, but I don't think it does. They are complicit, were caught, denied it, and then a month later seem to admit to a wee bit of complicity
