Rest easy, Captain. We have the helm. ✨
This is Webb’s look at Westerlund 1, a super star cluster. Because our galaxy is past its peak of star formation, and because stars live relatively short lives, only a few of these clusters exist to give us clues to that past era.
ALT Image description: A quote by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart. "I've come to believe that the stars have always been in my favor." - Jean-Luc Picard. The image shows a dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colors reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

We lost one of the greats of stage and screen today. And, in my book, a tremendous friend and man. I learned so much from him. I will miss you, Patrick Stewart, all of my days. @mang0ld

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.

My 2c.. instead of quote tweeting or retweeting these paid for accounts that are trying to stoke BS, rather screenshot it and reply to that.
Deny them the engagement and the reach of your audience. 🙃

All I'm saying is that if you had a tribe of say 100 people, and 10 of those people hoarded 90% of all the tribes resources while half the tribe starved, the rest of the tribe would eventually run those 10 people out of the tribe.

South Africa is one of the most religious-tolerant countries in the world.
We celebrate Eid and Divali and Yom Kippur just like we celebrate Good Friday and Christmas. They are all moments where there’s good vibes in SA, even for atheists.
The campaign to divide us will fail.

When we approached @azania_ for her Nounouche cover, we knew we wanted someone who could bring her story to life in a truly beautiful way. We had a few names in mind, but when we asked who she would like to speak to, her answer was simple: “I’d like to speak to Penny…”
And so, @pennylebyane came through and gave us an extraordinary interview — a beautiful account of a sisterhood that some may have wanted to frame as rivalry, but instead grew into something far more powerful: a bond built on mutual respect, shared history and sisterhood.
Like Azania, Penny is a pioneer. One of the women who helped shape the face of radio, influence culture and carve out space in a predominantly male-centred industry, all while carrying herself with grace, conviction and elegance.
The Phly One! A cultural force. An icon in her own right.
