"A Look to the Heavens"
“Over 400,000 light years across NGC 6872 is an enormous spiral galaxy, at least 4 times the size of our own very large Milky Way. About 200 million light-years distant, toward the southern constellation Pavo, the Peacock, the remarkable galaxy’s stretched out shape is due to its ongoing gravitational interaction, likely leading to an eventual merger, with the nearby smaller galaxy IC 4970. IC 4970 is seen just below and right of the giant galaxy’s core in this cosmic color portrait from the 8 meter Gemini South telescope in Chile. The idea to image this titanic galaxy collision com... read more

"What Foolish Forgetfulness..."
“You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, so all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last. You have all the fears of mortals and all the desires of immortals… What foolish forgetfulness of mortality to defer wise resolutions to the fiftieth or sixtieth year, and to intend to begin life at a point to which few have attained.” - Denis Diderot read more

*"As Time Goes By"* by Chet Raymo "Is time something that is defined by the ticking of a cosmic clock, God's wristwatch say? Time doesn't exist except for the current tick. The past is irretrievably gone. The future does not yet exist. Consciousness is awareness of a moment. Or is time a dimension like space? We move through time as we move through space. The past is still there; we're just not there anymore. The future exists; we'll get there. We experience time as we experience space, say, by looking out the window of a moving train.

“Incidit In Scyllam Cupiens Vitare Charybdim”
*“Incidit In Scyllam Cupiens Vitare Charybdim”* by Steve Candidus “One of the great things about ancient Greek Mythology is that the stories all teach a lesson. They don’t end with – and the moral of the story is – though. They leave it to the reader to figure them out. So in addition to being just plain fun to read they are wonderful teachers about life. Perhaps the best thing about this one is that we still use the expression it contains exactly the same way that the ancient Greeks intended it almost 3,000 years ago. That almost never happens. Language is fluid and the meanings o... read more

It gives a good impression of the state of the morale in VSU and the quality of personnel it gets through all those numerous "mobilizations".

The haters are back
You may have noticed - I certainly have - that the lull in vociferous Israel-bashing is finally over. What turns out to be a temporary diversion from the anti-Israel status quo may have been because the media’s current focus on Putin’s war against Ukraine has effectively paled other conflicts into insignificance; it may simply be the fallout from the near-miss of a Corbyn government. Whatever caused the haters to beat a temporary retreat, the Israel-bashing hiatus has now reached its natural sell-by limit. Back to abnormal; the haters are back in full force.

Durham's route to exposing the Russian collusion hoax*Andrew McCarthy:* *One lie that hides an enormous conspiracy: Inside the trial that exposes Clinton’s plot to slander Trump* It was one of the biggest political frauds in history that started with a lie to get the FBI and DOJ involved in pushing the fraud. Sometimes one of the best ways to try a major fraud case is to pick out an obvious lie that was used to promote it. In a case I had where some retuning Vietnam POWs were swindled out of their back pay by a bond dealer where the salesman claimed he had been a Korean war POW as a Marine in order to get the victims to buy, I m... read more
