It sucks that victories these days are 'well, at least they didn't destroy peoples lives in this particular way', but a win is a win. Thankful so many of my friends and neighbors don't have to fear the loss of their right to marry. ❤️🌈
Breaking news: The Supreme Court has declined to consider a challenge to its landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The challenge came from a county clerk who stopped issuing marriage licenses shortly after the ruling.

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling
The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

Watching the game I wanted him gone for a long time.
I have since realized that directly before the punch ARSB, after scoring a TD, pointed to Trump's box and did the stupid Trump dance.
I don't think that's why Payne through a punch, but now I kinda want to bake him a casserole while he's out.

Both Peters and Slotkin were 'No' votes on the motion to capitulate. I'm somewhat surprised but proud of both of them. @slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov Thank you both for standing up for health care for Michiganders.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

Good! They should! After two decades of piracy panic they just went and stole... everything. They would, in fact, download a car.
OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

This might be my favorite JWST image from the nearby Universe so far. You’re seeing the late stages of evolution of a star like the Sun, after it’s exhausted its nuclear fuel. This is a transient phase where it’s ejected its outer gas layers, which are then irradiated by the hot stellar remnant.
Another STUNNING image from JWST, this time of the Red Spider Nebula—the vast, wispy, gaseous remains of a now-dead star, the white dwarf core still glowing in the centre.
