Here's a thought:
"If children are slaughtered in their school and your reaction is 'Don't you dare think about taking my guns!!' rather than 'How do we stop this from ever happening again??' then we don't have a difference in political opinion. We have a difference in morality."

Does he mean that the answer to everything is rainbows?
Rainbows arc at 42 degrees. The prettiest natural phenomena ever, it make me so happy to see them.

Btw, when you sometimes see two rainbows together, the band that separates them, is called the Alexander band. Also, the secondary rainbow's colours are always inverted.

Gas giants orbiting our sun show a clear pattern; the more massive the #planet, the lower the percentage of “heavy” #elements (anything other than #hydrogen and #helium) in the planet’s atmosphere. But out in the #Galaxy, the #atmospheric compositions of giant planets do not fit the solar system trend, an international team of #astronomers has found.

OK, :fediverse: #Fediverse hive-mind. I'm working on #TwitterMigration research on higher reach individuals on Twitter that have already migrated to the Fediverse, and have not left #Twitter... at least not yet.

Am looking for accounts on Twitter that have about 500K followers and higher and are also here.

▶️ Am I missing any accounts?

Boost this around to help share it, want to make this as complete as I can. Thanks

@south_lib This is what I found. Cell theory would be one of those things we couldn't teach kids.

A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn and should be removed from school libraries. Here’s their full challenge. The parent writes that the book should be considered indecent under Utah’s new book banning law, after seeing the other titles that have been pulled.

“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.” sltrib.com/news/education/2023

These are the chronicles of an alchemist potter.

They're continuing work

To seek out new glaze effects and new finishes

To body create things no one has created before.

When the stars are your subject, with their infinite possibilities, the raku firing process is a perfect fit, as no two pieces end up exactly alike.

Sorry, a bit of a rant (okay, more than a bit)

My is 6 years old. My team has had a major leak in the ceiling all year. A falling ceiling tile almost hit a student, and she currently has 12 buckets catching water. She has to come in on the weekends to empty them.

We've had a lot of rain this week, and the problem is now endemic in the hallway. All the exterior rooms either have leaking roofs, water seeping up from the floor, or water coming in at the windows. It has gotten so bad that every exterior classroom has to be moved so Maintenance can start ripping out carpet, drywall, and ceilings.

A 6 year old building that has settled so much that a hunk of it is unusable. They are going to have to re-do the soil engineering, put on a new roof (this time, not totally flat), and rebuild the interior. It's so bad that the State cut a check overnight to start the process of rebuilding. That is unheard of, even though it is WAAAAYYYY less than the probably $3-4 million the restoration is going to cost.

And I have to buy my own copy paper ...
