Brace yourself for conservative media outrage over the length of her hair
Oh they have far more to lose their shit over when it comes to Dr. Rigby:
Rigby was a founding member of the American Astronomical Society Committee for Sexual-Orientation and Gender Minorities in Astronomy.[12] In 2015 she co-organised Inclusive Astronomy, a worldwide initiative to celebrate inclusivity and equity in astronomy.[13][14]
And:
Rigby came out as lesbian in 2000.[2] When she joined the University of Arizona as a graduate student, it was still against state law to be gay.[2]

Not sure if she’s the first out lesbian to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but it wouldn’t shock me.
Edit: Never mind. Billie Jean King got one from Obama and there might be women other than her, I just saw her name when I was scanning.
Ignore my previous post. They won’t even notice because he also gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Nancy Pelosi in the same ceremony.
Hoping like hell Biden didn’t try to sniff it.
Oh right. Forgot about that conservative trope. Don’t mind your leader is literally convicted for rape and is on trial for influencing election outcome by paying hush money for cheating on his 3rd wife with multiple women.
Let’s focus on imaginary Biden hair sniffing. P in GOP stands for projection after all.
Put down your weapons. I voted for Biden and will very likely do so again. Doesn’t mean we can’t make fun of his weirdness.
Bro it’s been like 6 years since thar was even a thing? Is there really nothing new?
Come back next week when I do my bit about Dukakis in the tank!
John Sununu got a haircut!
Howard Dean yelled “Yeah!” weird once!
The amount of data that has come out in the year since it’s launch has jumped mankinds knowledge of the cosmos forward by leaps and bounds.
it’s also further shown us just how little we know.
Yeah the JWST will go down as one of the most important pieces of scientific hardware ever created. She and all the NASA/ESA/CSA scientists who created it deserve all the medals. IIRC it was ESA’s most viewed launch to date, I sure remember stressing tf out haha.
Lovely, well-deserved!
