Urge @Kroger to stop using climate-polluting refrigerants in its stores!

Take action with @GreenAmerica: greenam.org/3G3sya0

As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids.

If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

CBS: We won’t run a negative story about the Trump administration unless they comment on the record.

Trump Administration: No comment.

CBS: Awww, Jeeze. Guess we can’t talk about them sending people to be tortured and possibly murdered. Sorry. Fair and balanced.

I gripe a little bit about the ambiguity of the word "day" — astronomically speaking, of course — and also present you with a *gorgeous* Hubble shot of a face-spiral galaxy that turns out to be part of the puzzle that tells us how the universe expands.
