Webb has found crystalline water ice in a debris disk around a young, Sun-like star called HD 181327. Based on its presence in our own solar system, scientists have expected to see it in other star systems — but haven’t had sensitive enough instruments to provide definitive proof until now.

Barn swallow juvenile (Hirundo rustica rustica) at the Ormož Basins nature reserve, Slovenia. Taken during a period when the storm Boris blocked migration routes, and low temperatures left the swallows struggling to find prey and stay warm in that area. This one was visibly weak, nevertheless, it had just caught a moth, with remains visible around the beak, and its scales on the face.

The world of memes is a fairly egalitarian one, at least when it comes to sharing them. Anybody with the most basic of modern technological and cultural understanding can look at a meme, find it funny and/or relatable, and then save it on their device or share it on their social media. They are a form of entertainment that is basically designed to be stolen and spread far and wide so that as many people as possible can get the message.
In this spirit, the memes that can be found below are here to be taken, and giving back is optional. It is not necessary to take these memes somewhere else, but it is nice to have the option. You can’t just take a painting off the wall in an art gallery, but you can save a dumb internet picture for future reference if you decide that you like it enough.

The brilliant musician, Marshall Beck, suggested to congresswomen Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla) that they take a photo with me in the middle, to illustrate that UAP interest is bipartisan. During my…

In our current era, we tend to glorify the author and hold the original text in high esteem. We regard Shakespeare with particular reverence, and his text is held aloft as the sacrosanct work of genius. But this was not always the case. In fact, an altered edition of Romeo and Juliet was widely printed and preferred over Shakespeare’s authoritative text for over a century.
