There’s a pervasive chemical in the environment that’s a potent solvent. Found in acid rain, it will asphyxiate you if it enters your lungs. Its vapors can cause 2nd degree burns, it’s a greenhouse gas, and it’s also found in most foods.
That chemical is called…
Water.

Located about 5,000 light-years away, Abell 78 is an unusual type of nebula.
This #HubbleFriday image captures a “re-energized” planetary nebula, which is an elaborate cloud of dust and gas formed by a dying star casting off outer layers of material: go.nasa.gov/3tFtUf1

“I’ve got science in my corner & there’s nothing to fear”
Five years ago my rapping nephew (@Ellect217) composed this diss-response to flat-earth-believing rapper B.o.B (@bobatl) after he had called me out for saying Earth is round.

TO: ALL NETWORKS, CABLE STATIONS, PODCASTERS, ANYONE WITH A PLATFORM-Don't cover Trump on the day that we restore the republic with the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. Trump is planning a mass rally at the Andrews AF Base the morning of the Inauguration. Ignore him.

I called Reverend Warnock and Jon Ossoff this morning to congratulate them on their hard-fought campaigns. Georgia voters delivered a resounding message yesterday: they want action on the crises we face and they want it right now. Together, we'll get it done.

Caldwell 22, nicknamed the Snowball Nebula is a planetary nebula located about 2,500 light-years from Earth. Nebulae like these represent a stage in evolution that stars like our Sun undergo when they run out of fuel.

A pardon is supposed to be an instrument of justice—not a tool of corruption.
D Scherr-Freedman retweeted
During the Mueller investigation, Trump’s lawyer floated a pardon to Manafort.
Manafort withdrew his cooperation with prosecutors, lied, was convicted, and then Trump praised him for not “ratting.”
Trump’s pardon now completes the corrupt scheme.
Lawless until the bitter end.

Demanding governors overturn results.
Coercing state election officials.
Insisting state legislators appoint new electors.
Trump lost, and these attacks will not succeed.
But if you believe in democracy, silence is complicity.
D Scherr-Freedman retweeted
The election was not close. There was no evidence of fraud. The states have certified the results.
Yet Trump continues to try to overturn the election at the expense of our democracy.
The emperor has no clothes.
Republican electeds who continue to humor him have no spines.

This Just In. All 50 States and DC have now officially certified their presidential election results. The @JoeBiden national popular vote lead over @realDonaldTrump is more than 7 million votes - 51.3% to 46.8%. Biden has 306 Electoral Votes; Trump has 232. (270 needed to win.)
