Tonight is an open thread night.
I’ll scatter a few goodies here.
x This week @POTUS struck a serious deal to cut drug prices for people on Medicare and fight climate change, received a stellar July jobs report, shrank the unemployment rate to 3.5%, eliminated bin-Laden’s successor, & gas prices fell to a 50+ day low. Great week, Mr. President! — Bill Clinton (@BillClinton) August 5, 2022
And that’s not even including the win on abortion referendum in Kansas and Alex Jones.
x $44 million punitive damages for Jones -- nearly the limit of what's permitted by Texas law. Basically the jury hated him and they clobbered him. — Harry Litman (@harrylitman) August 5, 2022
And even that doesn’t include the fact that not only will Jones go through at least two more trials regarding Sandy Hook but also the subpoena of his texts and emails by the Jan. 6 Committee is imminent.
The week ends on a somewhat positive note and I will take all the good news that I can and enjoy it.
Because the news cycle will change. Eventually.
x Time to reinvent the wheel.
Here’s the Cartwheel Galaxy in a whole new light — as a composite image from 2 instruments on the Webb telescope. Webb uniquely offers not just a snapshot of the galaxy’s current state, but also a peek into its past & future:

x A star-studded #HubbleFriday awaits! ⭐
This image shows NGC 6638, which is a globular cluster – a roughly spherical group of stars held together by gravity.
Hubble studies what kind of stars make up globular clusters, how they evolve, and more:
