I lived a block away from the iconic Santa Monica Home Savings mural by Sheets. Such a joyful perfect work for the place, we preserved it for fifty years. Now it has a new home at the beautiful new Hilbert Museum at Chapman, where I now teach.

Murmuration!
A murmuration is a huge flock of birds that move together. Nature is full of beauty and surprises that inspire scientists to learn why. Flocking rules are used in animation to make things move realistically.

I trust journalists not AI. I have a list of trusted sources. AI can't make it because- AI can't stop lying. So you have to check everything yourself.
AP, REUTERS, NPR, BBC, NBC, NATURE, LAIST, When they all report something it's true.
Gorgeous spiral galaxy Messier 33 seems to have more than its fair share of glowing hydrogen gas. A prominent member of the local group of galaxies, M33 is also known as the Triangulum Galaxy and lies a mere 3 million light-years away. The galaxy's central 60,000 light-years or so are shown in this sharp galaxy portrait. The portrait features M33's reddish ionized hydrogen clouds or HII regions. Sprawling along loose spiral arms that wind toward the core, M33's giant HII regions are some of the largest known stellar nurseries, sites of the formation of short-lived but very massive stars. Intense ultraviolet radiation from the luminous, massive stars ionizes the surrounding hydrogen gas and ultimately produces the characteristic red glow. In this image, broadband data were combined with narrowband data recorded through a filter that transmits the light of the strongest visible hydrogen and oxygen emission lines.

Wonder if Elon thinks “The Diary of Anne Frank” is too one-sided.

Agency directors need to understand science and the agency. RFK does not understand science. He can be a spokesperson on certain topics. When you vote no, emphasize science illiteracy as a reason.

This salute was popular in American schools until the 1930s. The Nzis Forever tainted the gesture - No American would *ever* use it.
Anyone who uses it is no American.
