Reliable reports that Comet C/2022 E3 has now tipped over into naked-eye visibility (from dark sky sites). *BUT* this doesn't mean it'll be a bright, highly structured NEOWISE-style view. More like a dim, fuzzy spot at best. Binoculars a better bet. Chart for next few nights

Watching people on the left abandon care through abandoning their masks, I can see why the left accomplishes so little. We cannot even understand the politics of care and translate that into concrete action to build safety for all to participate. We’d be better taking on 1/

Imagine being so cool, your molecules freeze 🥶 the Chamaeleon I dark molecular cloud is so frigid molecules have actually frozen onto the grains of dust inside the cloud 🤯

No sugar or spice, but everything ice 
In this molecular cloud (a birthplace of stars & planets), Webb scientists found a variety of icy ingredients. These frozen molecules, like carbon dioxide and methane, could go on to become building blocks of life. go.nasa.gov/3Xy07Vd

I’ll link again to this crucial piece by and from which we adopted the apt term “counter-reckoning.” It provides an excellent dissection of the post-George Floyd landscape and also comes with tons of data and references:

When people jump in my mentions to harass me for talking about racism and white supremacy, all I can think about is Kiese Laymon's writing about how Americans lie to themselves all the time and how this makes it harder for us to build a loving community

Being in a Black and Asian American household means sitting with each other through mass shooting after mass shooting, wiping away tears, worrying and with high frequency learning that people were shot because of their race, and knowing we can’t protect each other from that.

Just heard the horrifying news out of Monterey Park, CA. A whole community wracked by gun violence and death, on what should have been a joyous Lunar New Year celebration.
No motive is yet known. But we must act to end the ability of murderers to take so many lives so brutally.

It’s true—dolphins were spotted in the Bronx River this week! This is great news—it shows that the decades-long effort to restore the river as a healthy habitat is working. We believe these dolphins naturally found their way to the river in search of fish.

I wrote about why Matt Taibbi & the "Russiagate" skeptics are wrong about that new study looking at Russian interference.
It doesn't show that Russian influence had no impact — and Russia's $1.5 billion/yr disinfo budget suggests there's a payoff.

The dominant cultural belief in the United States, particularly popular among conservatives, is that poverty is a personal failing and a social crime to be laid at the feet of those who suffer it, and that cruelty in punishing poor people for it is a moral necessity.

The GOP just proposed new restrictions on the types of food eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits, putting even more pressure on families with children.
In addition, they would aim to keep families with more than one vehicle from receiving help.

The judge said “that DeSantis’ suspension of Andrew Warren, the ousted state atty for Hillsborough County, violated FL’s Constitution, but as a fed judge, he couldnt rule against a state official based only on the violation of state law."
