NATIVE CARBON DIOXIDE FOUND ON JUPITER’S MOON EUROPA

James Webb Space Telescope detects 1st evidence of carbon on Jupiter's icy moon Europa

The discovery made using NASA's powerful space telescope brings scientists a step closer to determining if the salty water oceans of Europa

HOLY SHIT, IT'S HAPPENING! EVERYBODY STAY CALM!

[gun-witch-deactivated20250818]

For those confused, this combined with liquid water being there makes this the strongest evidence of alien life to date.

These are conditions shockingly similar to earth.

For anyone wondering, the reason Europa (as well as Saturn's Enceladus) is warm enough to have oceans is because of the tidal friction from the large gas giant right next to it. (Also why Io is constantly erupting, it's so close to Jupiter it can't stop) Any life on these moons could resemble the life we have in geothermal vents and sunless depths of our own ocean.

As a mass comm major, IF THERE IS SOMETHING UNJUST OR IMMORAL BEING DONE CALL YOUR LOCAL NEWS STATION THEY WILL HELP MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE

Cities and government agencies HATE bad press. This story that was told to me by the journalist that covered this, and he showed us the piece:

There was a traffic light that was set up on the far side of an overpass, but it was improperly hung so you couldn’t see the light until it was too late. There were accidents there EVERY SINGLE DAY and calls to the city did NOTHING.

Someone had the idea to call the local news station and this dude went out to see. As he was interviewing someone, there was a wreck.

Guess what happened after that piece aired?

Suddenly the city had the time to lower the traffic light and the accidents stopped.

Journalists get a bad rep, and while big stations like Fox deserve it, I think more thought should be given to who you’re actually shitting on when you say “I hate journalists.” Because we’re overworked, underpaid, constantly shit on, but we still do the job because we want to help people. All professional, prestigious journalists that I’ve met hate the government and will do whatever they can to get the information and change that’s needed. Being a journalist is a dangerous profession: at every professional convention I’ve been at there’s a fund for the families of journalists that have been killed (there’s a lot!) and a long memoriam roll.

I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms. 

[samwisethewitch]

The fact that I did not mention abortion anywhere in this post, yet the replies and reblogs are filled with Christians trying to “well actually” me and/or resorting to anti-choice insults is… telling, to say the least.

[samwisethewitch]

So you agree? Current US laws banning abortion are based on the religious convictions of a select few?

That's awesome.

It might also be the clearest evidence I've ever seen for a theory I read a while back that a lot of American Southern accents are Scottish and Irish accents that have been slowed down.

Being hyper-secretive online is probably the only good kneejerk reaction boomers have put into our heads twenty years ago and now both them and the next generation look at you like you're a freak if you don't list your social security number in your carrd.

chronic fatigue from mental illness and neurodivergency isn't something you can just will your way out of. your nervous system is part of your body. your brain is an organ. the fatigue is real. you're not lazy. so be kinder to yourself. be gentler with your bodymind.
