Posted on June 17, 2021June 17, 2021 by Evan GoughThe Largest Rotating Objects in the Universe: Galactic Filaments Hundreds of Millions of Light-Years LongWe’ve known for a while about the large-scale structure of the Universe. Galaxies reside in filaments hundreds of millions of light-years long, on a backbone of dark matter. And, where those filaments meet, there are galaxy clusters. Between them are massive voids, where galaxies are sparse. Now a team of astronomers in Germany and their colleagues in China and Estonia have made an intriguing discovery.These massive filaments are rotating, and this kind of rotation on such a...

The “woke’’ elite Manhattan school under fire for showing students a video that “tarred and feathered’’ white women claims it was a “significant mistake” in a letter sent to parents after The Post broke the story. Bodie Brizendine, head of the tony k-12 Spence School on the Upper East Side, sent out an e-mail to parents Wednesday claiming, “We take this seriously; it is never acceptable to ridicule anyone at any time. “This video is not part of the Spence curriculum. Our teacher and the School acknowledge that sharing a satirical video that made fun of white women was a...

June 16 (UPI) -- A single dose of one of the two-shot COVID-19 vaccines prevented an estimated 95% of new infections among healthcare workers two weeks after receiving the jab, a study published Wednesday by JAMA Network Open found.

Former President Donald Trump offered an anything but humble assessment of his ability to get fellow Republicans elected to public office during his latest interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. “I’m very honored to say that my endorsement means more than any endorsement that has ever been given by anybody,” Mr. Trump declared Wednesday during a phone interview with the host of “Hannity.” Mr. Trump added that candidates he endorsed in past election saw their poll numbers increase by double digits after receiving his support. “The Fake News doesn’t like talking about it. But the numbers are really incredible,”...

Alina Chan isn't saying the coronavirus definitely leaked from a lab in China. What she is saying is what more scientists have grown comfortable discussing publicly: There's no clear evidence either way. "I know a lot of people want to have a smoking gun," said Chan, a postdoctoral associate at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University who specializes in genetic engineering and has been vocal about the need to investigate the possibility of a lab leak. "It's more like breadcrumbs everywhere, and they're not always leading in one direction. It's like the whole floor is covered in breadcrumbs."...

'If you dream of owning your own little slice of hell and turning it into a piece of heaven, then look no further!' the listing says, but warns: 'This house is not for the faint of heart but for that special person who can see through the rough diamond to the polished gem inside.' Listed as an 'investor special,' the 3,598 square-foot home is filled with graffiti that includes the message 'evict me bitch' spray painted onto a door and a freezer full of rotten meat left behind in the basement Foster said the carpets were also 'saturated with urine'...

Mark and Patricia McCloskey, a St. Louis couple who gained notoriety after brandishing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters last summer, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreed to give up their weapons in court on Thursday afternoon. {}

When someone calls for arresting members of Congress not only does he sound coo-coo, he also sounds like he is calling for a coup. What made this call particularly troubling was that it came last week from a former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence who is now an MSNBC contributor.That infamous figure would be Frank Figliuzzi, who has a history of derangement, including his accusation in 2019 that President Donald Trump was sending a secret signal to neo-Nazis by ordering that flags be lowered.It's been two years later and Figliuzzi hasn't sounded any less kooky. His latest escapade into the...

Tim Anderson, a criminal defense attorney who lives in Virginia Beach, doesn’t run from controversy. He sprints toward it, not only relishing what he can bring to the fight but the media attention that comes with it. It’s impossible to ignore that many of Anderson’s political melees involve race, undoubtedly the reason that Anderson, who is white, has been branded as an outspoken Trump Republican. But it’s his willingness to scrap that likely helped Anderson beat the establishment candidate from a prominent political family to win the Republican primary last week in the 83rd House District. “Tim positioned himself as...

At the age of 50, Nina Schoen expects to have a long life ahead of her, but the Seattle-based project manager has thought a lot about death - and why people are so reluctant to talk about it: "It's going to happen to all of us," she says, "but it should be a more positive experience than the fear we infuse into it." When she first heard about a new end-of life process that turns the body into compost, "I was really moved by the idea. It just felt right," says Schoen, who became one of the first to reserve...

In his new memoir, On the House, chronicling his 40 years in public service, former Speaker of the House John Boehner does not mince words about his former colleagues. He describes fellow Republicans who opposed President George W. Bush's stimulus package as being from "Crazytown." The Tea Party is labeled as the "chaos caucus." And when he gets to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, he pronounces him "Lucifer in the flesh" and uses other words unfit to print in these pages. As for President Joe Biden, whom he's known for 30 years and with whom he shared the 2016 Laetare Medal...

A Florida man on trial for a double homicide turned the proceedings into a circus, as he acted as his own lawyer and cross-examined his 11-year-old son, who responded to his dad by testifying: “You stabbed me.” Ronnie Oneal III allegedly murdered his girlfriend and their disabled 9-year-old daughter, then stabbed his then 8-year-old boy before setting the family’s Tampa home on fire in 2018. The surviving child testified Wednesday by remote video that he witnessed the murders. When it was Oneal’s turn to cross-examine the boy, he asked his son, “Did I hurt you that night?” “Yes,” the 11-year-old...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The CDC's eviction moratorium ends on the last day of June. Right now hundreds of people are facing eviction in Duval County. According to the Duval County Clerk of Courts Office, more than 450 evictions were filed in May, which is down from 940 in January. "The biggest tip I can give is communicate," said Northeast Florida Association of Realtors President-elect Mark Rosener. "So long as the tenant and the landlord are talking to one another, I believe that most of those issues can be resolved." In April, the City of Jacksonville began distributing nearly $30 million...

Democrat Rep. Peter DeFazio (OR) called a person asking if the congressman would condemn the radical remarks made by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) comparing the United States and Israel to terrorist organizations a “jerk.” Republican National Congressional Committee (NRCC) Regional Press Secretary Courtney Parella tweeted a video of DeFazio being asked if he has an opinion on holding Omar accountable for her remarks. DeFazio proceeded to call the person a “jerk.”

The Justice Department is warning Missouri officials that the state can’t ignore federal law, after the governor signed a bill last week that bans police from enforcing federal gun rules. In a letter sent Wednesday night and obtained by The Associated Press, Justice officials said the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause outweighs the measure that Gov. Mike Parson signed into law Saturday. The new rules penalize local police departments if their officers enforce federal gun laws. SNIP President Joe Biden has made gun control laws a priority of his administration, and the House has passed two bills requiring background checks on...

Mark Coulson today sentenced Michael Haak, age 60, of Longwood, Florida, to one year of probation, after Haak admitted that he committed a lewd, indecent, or obscene act during a flight in which he was pilot in command.

The guilty plea and sentence were announced by Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Jonathan F. Lenzner and Acting Special Agent in...

The US will invest more than $3 billion to advance the development of antiviral pills for COVID-19 and other pathogens to prepare for future pandemics, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday. The nation’s top infectious disease expert announced the $3.2 billion investment as part of a new “antiviral program for pandemics” to develop drugs to address symptoms caused by potentially dangerous viruses. “It’s a whole-of-government effort aimed at developing the next generation of COVID-19 treatments, as well as preparing us for future threats,” Fauci said at the White House’s coronavirus press briefing.
