Sad news here -- Canada's astronomy magazine, SkyNews, has folded due to business pressures.
A sad day for both journalism *and* space nerds (like me).

I work in HR and the only time a person is unceremoniously fired w/o forewarning is usually when there is such an egregious and obvious policy violation that the company’s lawyers are more concerned abt the risk associated w/ continued employment vs. a wrongful termination suit

People of a certain level get fired because their bosses/owners want to fire them.
The indiscretions matter. But bad behavior gets overlooked until someone decides it's your time.

Quote Tweet
A fresh round of budget cuts from Mayor Adams could bring an end to six-day service at the New York Public Library and its counterparts in Queens and Brooklyn.

Tucker Carlson's demise at Fox was driven in large part by instances where he called Trump lawyer Sidney Powell the c-word, later revealed in the Dominion case.

Joe Russo says AI will be used to “engineer storytelling” in movies.
“You could save the AI on your streaming platform. ‘I want a rom-com starring my avatar and Marilyn Monroe's avatar,’ and it renders a story with dialogue that mimics your voice.”

One of my previous stories was updated without my knowledge. I stand with my colleagues today to protest the proposed layoffs and to demand a fair contract. As someone who was raised in a union household, I would never cross a picket line. The Griffithses don’t raise scabs.

Thomas's claim that he thought he only had to disclose gifts from people with "business before the court" was an obvious lie. Roberts has reported gifts from the University of Tokyo. in 2012 Scalia reported a gift from the National Wild Turkey Federation. Thomas is just flailing.
Quote Tweet
NEW: Justice Clarence Thomas said he was advised he didn’t have to disclose trips and gifts from billionaire Harlan Crow because Crow, a close friend, “did not have business before the court.”
But in at least one case to reach the justices, Crow did.

Twitter committed about $20M to back Black, Latinx and women VC fund managers after the murder of George Floyd.
Under Elon Musk, it's now trying to quietly sell those stakes -- while not wiring the leftover millions it promised.

Henry Selick, the director-writer-producer of Coraline, had “Wendell & Wild,” a fantastic stop-motion film come out literally last year.
It stars Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Angela Basset, and James Hong, and has phenomenal commentary on the school-to-prison pipeline!

When I interviewed Carlson back in 2017 for the profile I wrote I asked him to prove that science had conclusively proven that there were only two genders. He said he'd send me articles. I followed up with my own research. He never responded.

I floss before brushing, and do it so religiously that my dentist said, "you have the gums of a 30-year-old." When I told my wife, she said, "You'd better give them back."
