Putting up an open thread. Everyone knows what’s in the news today. Plus, there’s Saturn. x Of course Saturn brought its ring light 🪐 Webb took its first near-infrared look at Saturn on June 25.

TOP COMMENTS Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig. From Tamar: Great comment from hummalong about Elon Musk -- an analogy to trump, from CharlesII’s recommended post on Twitter disallowing visitors without login IDs to view tweets.
