Each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity.

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

“I believe art is utterly important. It is one of the things that could save us. We don’t have to rely totally on experience if we can do things in our imagination... It’s the only way in which you can live more lives than your own. You can escape your own time, your own sensibility, your own narrowness of vision.”

"I feel more from Minnesota than I’ve ever felt. And I’ve grown up here. But now I know as I’m walking down the street that I have hundreds of people who will swarm to help me if needed, and that I will swarm to help them. It’s incredible."

🔥@MarkRuffalo: “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered. We have stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him… this is crazy.”

I can’t condone this but damn that looks fun.

On Nov 13th, there was a solar particle event that resulted in beautiful blankets of aurora. You may have seen it. We had the most amazing view and our crew collectively took thousands of photos and dozens of time lapses. Here is one of those time lapses. Nov 13th. Nikon Z9 | 14mm.

Imagine this: 300 light-years away, there’s a star almost identical to our Sun, and around it orbits an entire alien planetary family. And for the first time in human history, we’re not just detecting a blip, a wobble, or a dip in brightness; we’re looking at a real, honest-to-God photograph of that system. Actual planets hanging in the dark like real worlds, not anonymous pixels.This isn’t sci-fi concept art. It’s not an artist’s impression. This is a genuine image, taken right now in the 2020s by one of the European Southern Observatory’s telescopes. We’re literally staring at someone else’s planets the same way Galileo once stared at Jupiter and its moons; except this time, they don’t belong to our Sun.Welcome to the era where neighboring star systems stop being graphs and data points… and start becoming actual photographs in humanity’s family album.

In honor of National Fossil Day, we're highlighting this mouse deer fossil found in the Abocador de Can Mata, a garbage dump in Spain that has been the source of more than 70,000 fossils from the Miocene era—about 11.2 million to 12.5 million years ago—over the last two decades.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

"Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved."
