Friday Cephalopod: I succumb to peer pressure and will mention Octopolis

Image credit: Chris Spratt of http://www.islandnet.com/. These faint, fuzzy, extended objects are far dimmer, sparser and more cloud-like than almost anyone expects. Yet thanks to some incredible image processing,…
Philando Castile's Killing: Some geographic background
Philando Castile told his mother that he was reluctant to carry his legal, permitted, firearm because he was afraid that if he had a run in with the police, they would simply kill him. Later that day, a Saint Anthony Village police officer pulled Castile over for a broken tail light, and then, at the first opportunity, fired several bullets into his arm and torso. A few moments later, Castile…
