@toast @tzimmer_history as an Iowa native, it pains me to witness the devolution of my home state. I moved to Chicago ten years ago and have said numerous times: had I stayed, I would've died from COVID-19. People think of Chicago as this cesspool of murder, but there are so many times that I feel as if my neighborhood of 67K has a much stronger "small town" vibe than the 2K population of my home town.

What would you say? Because while this is not a perfect analogy (analogies never are), it comes really close to capturing what is happening in Florida, and in red states around the country. And I believe that if something like this were happening in Germany, the reaction would be - and certainly should be - different. 6/

A fun, sweet and whimsical turtle image that is sure to bring a #smile to everyone's face! Happy! Happy!

Lying still in the sand so warm
An egg one day then poof
A little one with happy eyes
Trekking toward the ocean blue
Slowly, gradually, finally
Splish Splash
Swimming

The planet we found is one of the closest analogues to Jupiter found so far, at a distance twice as far as the next furthest of the several thousand planets discovered by Kepler. It orbits a star about 60% of the mass of the Sun. That's quite a surprise because current planet formation models predict that planets of Jupiter's mass should be very rare around low mass stars like this. Interesting to see if Roman turns up many more of these.

Does my ass look fat in this box?
