To prepare for landing on the Moon, in Jan. 1965, 15 NASA astronauts spent 5 days training on the Island of Hawaii to learn about its volcanic features.
Of the participants, Armstrong, Aldrin, Conrad, Bean, and Scott would go on to walk on the Moon. #NationalTakeAHikeDay
Lots of people remember Mitch McConnell's famous words when he kicked Elizabeth Warren off the Senate floor for reading Coretta Scott King's letter.
But you probably don't remember who the first person was to defend her...
#Persist#ProgressivesForHarris
@TheRyanHamilton Just listened to your podcast, which is on point, sad, scary, and encouraging. We need these conversations; both of you show such strong voices even thru your personal pain. Do you feel more hopeful now that VP Harris is running?❤️to your families.
Can we talk? This week, our story gets shared with the world. All of the research, fact checking etc… is done. Before you start seeing it, a few things:
THANK YOU for the concern & support for my wife & family. We still can’t quite wrap our brains around all of the people who continue to comment, or send messages of love & support. It’s a long road to recovery, & this is something we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives. Especially my wife. I’ve been amazed at her strength as she continues to heal.
THANK YOU for sharing your stories with me/us. These early morning conversations have kept me sane. I’ve definitely had my moments, but I’m trying to keep it all together. Hearing your heartbreaking stories of loss have only made it more evident how much things have to change. Thank you. We hear you.
THANK YOU for continuing to use your platforms here, big or small, to share our story. As a lot of you have seen, there is A LOT of ignorance, and hate, in response to stories like ours. I now understand more than ever: We HAVE TO KEEP TALKING. Even in the face of all the ignorance and hate.
We never wanted to be here.
I never wanted to be here.
But… here we are.
We are here because of TEXAS ABORTION LAWS. Anyone who argues otherwise is part of the problem. I’m sure they will continue to spew their ignorant nonsense arguments, & I will CONTINUE TO TELL THE TRUTH.
I am hopeful that our story getting shared will have an impact. I am hopeful that it can/will inspire change. But the truth is, you never know with this sort of thing.
Regardless, I had to try. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t.
Whatever happens next…
Thank you. I love you. We love you.

@BradKeefauver Hi, Brad. https://t.co/rw6x2f3W2O would not let me connect. Of course, I went directly to your web site. Just wanted to let you know. Hope all is well with you and Kathy.
In theory, the prison should correct the convicts and thereby prevent the emergence of new crimes.

And in a Washington state prison, some years ago, they decided to conduct an unusual experiment.
As planned, for good behavior, prisoners were allowed to take cats for guardianship. An important point: these poor homeless animals were waiting for euthanasia, because they could not find the owners. Thus, the prison authorities decided to take them in.
As a result, harsh prisoners became calmer and kinder. Moreover, the convicts even began to work harder to earn new toys and sweets for their furry cellmates.
@MarkHamill@ColinAllredTX He’s been my congressional rep for the last four years, and is the kind of person who seeks political office to serve the people. Thank you Mark, and go Colin go!!!!!
Giant pandas and winter are a good match. As warriors from the Quaternary glaciation, they are fearless of the cold, and they do not hibernate in winter. Even when the temperature drops to below 0°C, they still move happily in the snow

Valonia ventricosa is one of the largest known unicellular organisms, if not the largest.
This means that what you see in the image, a sea-algae that can get to 5 cm in diameter, is actually a single living cell.
