Your brain comes with its own mental photoshop. In this image there is no yellow. Mouse over closely and you'll see that each line in that circle is white. Your brain--a brilliant three pound mass of fat, water, protein, carbohydrates and salts--fills in the yellow colour for you.

I just read in today’s Globe and Mail that: “Queen’s Park has also agreed to pay the city of Toronto for money it loses because of Bill 23 – a piece of housing legislation, which was signed into law this week, that waives some development charges to spur construction.” Lets just remember that we, the taxpayers, pay our income tax to Queen’s Park - so Ford is promising to let the breadwinners in the province pay for Developmental costs for the Developers …+

Love the Republicans who quickly slide from "Putin had to invade Ukraine because of something about Nazis" to "You know Kanye's still making some good points."

I love working with students because they regularly ask me questions I don't know the answers to. It's the best — no one gives you better free pointers about things to learn more about and study next.

Saturn has at least 83 moons. Titan, the largest, is bigger than the planet Mercury and if you count the extent of its atmosphere the largest in the solar system. Enceladus is home to massive cryovolcanic plumes and is one of the best places in the solar system to look for signs of microbial life. Hyperion looks like a sponge and Mimas looks like the Death Star.

@enerjazz @godpod It's true! We've been making an egregious spelling mistake with "God" for millenia. All praise and glory to Saint Dan Piraro for bringing us enlightenment!

Oh the mind boggles about those cat-related lawsuits #cats

You don't have to be amoral or a sociopath to become a billionaire, but it helps.

I doubt they see fascism as an inherently bad idea. They are most often where they are because they are duplicitous authoritarians themselves.

Birds of a feather.🐦 🐦 🐦

Kanye West just posted a photo of a swastika inside of the Star of David on Twitter. This is abhorrent and dangerous. Shame on anyone who has enabled and supported him on his crusade against the Jewish people. We refuse to be silent in the face of this deplorable anti-Semitism. Never again.

This is nice. I am happy.

How is it even possible that Alex Jones still has a platform? Shouldn’t he be bankrupt by now & out of our lives? And today, HE’S the one who threw Ye/Kanye a pass yet Kayne took the opportunity to go even lower. I literally am breathless & speechless about how we are here right now - a country where our ancestors believed was a refuge. Yes. We updated our passports when TFG began in 2016.

Plenty of people have mental disorders and don’t praise Hitler or spread hate.

It was two years ago today that the platform of the 305m Arecibo Telescope collapsed. The Observatory continues to produce science from its other instruments, including airglow cameras, lidars and a 12m radio telescope.
Here's a sunrise photo from happier times, taken at the end of an observing session in November 2009.

I have questions.
Actually no, no I don't.

Fixed it!
