38 Hours with the M81 Group

Over 38 hours, a garden #telescope captured the M81 #galaxy group. Dominant M81 boasts spiral arms and a bright core, while cigar-shaped M82 shows intense star formation due to their billion-year gravitational tussle. Eventually, they'll merge into one galaxy. The image also features NGC 3077 and distant integrated flux nebulae from our Milky Way.

Leftist Lawyer

So, if I'm understanding this right, the best *plan* the #elite can come up with is destroying the #planet by strip mining it of every available resource so .0000000001% of the population can have more #YachtMoney?

Does that about capture "the plan"?

Banks as a #mathematical black 'hole' / bucket with a hole...

Banks are a #mathematical 'hole'...

Like a bad #algorithm #human #tax just for using it... #extortion when all life depends on erroneous, political and immoral numbers... it's a #war on people as a tool itself 'given' to people
- agree @freemo ?

Imagine the 'hole in the bucket' which they call #economics' - but the bucket is leaks as you use it (they catch the 'leaks') and people are paying over and over per dollar (paying multiples times) for " #money " itself - rendering using money futile / cheapening itself as a political or other change since they always get more (and abuse it / #fund #bad things).

Economics looks it's keeping people afloat but all it's doing is feedign economic soldiers, speeding up the progress of debt (people pushing up prices / power of debt / rent etc) ALL while planet is not as infinite as the maths and suffering also with it accordingly...

Money is a made up thing remember and 'optimised' over time like we see teh #web has been with #Enshitification !

Made by #bourgeois #classism / #royalty / #elite types that from day 1 had the idea to# trap people so YOU pay for everything while they (the royalty / crown / #bourgeois) sit back and do fuck al but make things worse as to keep the power leverage and bad balance in their favour.

Sounds very human as #slavery to me and proven over history (so it's kinda normal, but do you want to #evolve out of it) and repeatedly people seem to do that kind of things... instead of relieving suffering, and making it harder instead.

Money / Banks are not designed to help equalise or take care of people... but maintain unfairness (power) and crush people to take the top % cream from them and #planet...

I guess this fall under hashtags #crisis #human #suffering #finance #fascism #politics #slavery #energy

Does anyone remember the golden #Voyager record which sent encoded information about our own life form on voyages in the hope that an #alien life form would find it and decode it to communicate with us? 🛰️

Now, for centuries, we have had a #planet 🪐 right under our noses that looks like those rings are a giant #record

Could someone develop a record player that big to find out if it is coded #information left behind by an alien life form to communicate with us? 🤔

The #Feeling of deeply #Love is something very #Strange.
It's not only that it makes us behave like completely #Idiots.
No, in the #Extreme we will also freely give up our own #Life for this other #Special #Human only to make sure that there's a better #Chance of #Survival for them.
If this feeling among you and your significant other is #Mutual, then consider yourself/s the luckiest #People on the #Planet because this mutuality is very, very #Rare.
