The news was saying thr Teump campaign said I'm the video was created(?) posted by a supporter and Trump's media guy reposted without really looking at it lol
This article leaves me with a lot of questions. As I understand it, SPF labels in the US have to apply to both UVA and UVB. They tried labels specific to each but decided that they were too confusing. Next, you don't need more than about SPF 35 to get appropriate protection from skin cancer. SPF rating higher than that offer only marginally more protection. Lastly, how are these "chemical" sun screens blocking UV. If it's not physically blocking the light, are they somehow changing the spectrum of the light so that it is not harmful? So, other than this guy who has spent $18B to try to sell his product in the US gunning for it, what is the advantage of the newer "chemical"? Do they last longer, cost less, have other functions for health and beauty? Are they generally easier to use?
Here is just one of the many videos I could find describing the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens. In short, both, to an extent the physical kind included, absorb and transform it into heat. Consumers can get chemical kinds that don't leave a white cast, offer varying levels of protection, dry fairly quickly, and are easy to apply under makeup if that's a concern. I know because I've used a couple brands with these things in mind and have loved them for years.
I don't know about actual sun protection but I pretty much exclusively buy Asian (namely Japanese) sunscreens because I prefer the thin consistency. They're not greasy, perfect for daily wear, affordable and easy to buy off of Amazon.
That being said... I'd still go with the heavy duty American or Australian sunscreens during all day in the sun, full exposure type of activities. Haven't tried EU ones, but they're probably a nice compromise.
Steven Goldberg, a retired vice president of BASF, said companies are wary of the FDA process because of the cost and their fear that additional animal testing could ignite a consumer backlash in the European Union, which bans animal testing of cosmetics, including sunscreen.
fucking good, there should be a backlash against companies doing animal testing. It's fucked up and archaic, and it's time for it to end. The FDA needs to update and end the violence
I have only one question. Why mission to Hubble need to be manned? Dragon should be capable to dock to the ring even without guidance assist from Hubble.
I think Jared Isaacman is my favorite space billionaire? Not that that should be a thing, but he's at least spending his money on private missions that move technology development forward.

For over three decades, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of distant galaxies and stars, allowing astronomers to probe the evolution of the universe and its most mysterious cosmic phenomena.
Jared Isaacman, a private astronaut who has orbited Earth in a SpaceX capsule, basically has said he'd foot the bill to take a maintenance crew to Hubble if NASA would greenlight such a mission, potentially saving the space agency hundreds of millions of dollars.
The first demonstration of a private spacewalk could come within weeks, as part of a series of SpaceX flights that Isaacman is sponsoring called the Polaris Program, which aims to "rapidly advance human spaceflight capabilities."
Isaacman appears to have shared that view: In one interview, he said new hardware could essentially be built into the same mechanism that docks with Hubble, and that "we're talking about potentially just plugging in a couple cables here" to hook it up to data and power.
He says the space station is set up with equipment to help visiting spacecraft assess the exact distance to the outpost and how fast the incoming vehicle is closing in โ allowing for a smooth connection rather than a miss, or worse, a collision โ but Hubble doesn't have all that.
Once the butt of jokes because of its flawed mirror, it became a scientific triumph, producing thrilling images like the "Pillars of Creation," an iconic picture showing dense clouds of dust and gas where new stars are forming.
PARIS โ Deadly violence continued for a third night in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia over a proposed change to France's Constitution that would give voting rights to an increasing number of non-Indigenous residents of the archipelago.
French TV reports showed stores and cars in New Caledonia that were looted and burned, and citizens, some of them armed with rifles and machetes, clashing with riot police.
At least four people have been killed in the violence, including a police officer who was shot in the forehead at point blank range, according to French Interior Minister Gรฉrald Darmanin.
France declared a state of emergency on Wednesday for at least 12 days and dispatched hundreds of riot police to the archipelago, as French President Emmanuel Macron called for calm.
The semiautonomous territory is important for France as the European country cements its place as a strategic power player in the Indo-Pacific region.
Political tensions have simmered for years in the archipelago โ pitting the island's largely pro-independence Indigenous Kanak communities against the mostly French inhabitants opposed to breaking away from France.

In life, I strongly value the importance of making decisions that feel best for you and your mental health. As Individuals, we grow through experiencing different things in life that lead us to learning more about ourselves. My journey as Miss USA has been incredibly meaningful, representing Utah with pride, and later the USA at Miss Universe. Sadly, I have made the very tough decision to resign from the title of Miss USA 2023. I am grateful for the love and support of the fans, old and new, my family, my friends, my coaches, former state and local directors, and my darling beloved Miss Teen USA, UmaSofia. Lifelong friendships and connections that I had the opportunity to make along the way while attending different events, and competing at state pageants, Miss USA, and Miss Universe are invaluable things I will be forever grateful for. Every time someone asked me what my favorite part of being Miss USA was, I would always share with them how much I loved getting to work with Smile Train, being a fervent advocate for anti-bullying, dating violence awareness and prevention, immigration rights and reform, and shedding light on my roots as the first Venezuelan-American woman to win Miss USA. Never could I have imagined the journey that my childhood dream would take me on. Constant and consistent hard work and dedication all lead me to where I am today, and I hope that over the last seven years of competing in pageantry and sharing my journey with you all is something that inspires you to never give up on your dreams, whatever they may be. Eternal gratitude fills my heart when I think about the platform I was given to make a difference, the feeling of achieving a lifelong dream, and connecting with people all over the world, just as I said I would do on the Miss USA stage. Deep down, I know that this is just the beginning of a new chaptor for me, and my hope is that I continue to inspire others to remain steadfast, prioritize your mental health, advocate for yourself and others by using your voice, and never be afraid of what the future holds, even if it feels uncertain.
How I wish I could hug all of you. I love you all with all of my heart and always will. Peace and love, always.
