“There is a crack in everything…”
When millimeter-sized drops of water infused with nanoparticles dry, they leave behind complex and beautiful residues. As water continues evaporating, the residues warp, bend, and crack. In this video, researchers set their science to the music of Leonard Cohen. The results resemble blooming flowers and flying water fowl. If you’d like to learn more about the science behind the art, check out the two open-access papers linked below. (Video and image credit: P. Lilin and I. Bischofberger; submitted by Irmgard B.; see also P. Lilin and I. Bischofberger and P. Lilin et al.)

Much to the consternation of his Federalist Society colleagues,
#Leonard #Leo had also begun
🔥cannibalizing the organization’s own deep-pocketed donors to help finance some of his more personal initiatives
— and those of his friends.In 2010, he co-founded along with Ginni Thomas an organization called "Liberty Central";
Thomas was the wife of his good friend Justice Clarence Thomas and they used a $500,000 donation from Dallas real estate billionaire #Harlan #Crow,
also a donor to the Federalist Society.The group billed itself as “America’s Public Square,” promising to preserve freedom and reaffirm the core principles of the Founding Fathers.
The following year, he joined the board of "Chicago Freedom Trust", which had been set up by manufacturing billionaire #Barre #Seid as a pass-through
to anonymously channel funds to initiatives he wished to support
and to take advantage of the recent #Citizens #United ruling shielding big donors from disclosure.Leo met Seid through #Eugene #Meyer, president of the Federalist Society, who envisioned the wealthy manufacturing tycoon as a potential donor to the law society.
Instead, Leo cultivated him as a funder of his own dark-money network.
The move brought Leo into contact with other central figures of the conservative dark-money world
— like #Whitney #Ball and #Adam #Meyerson,
the main actors behind #DonorsTrust, who were responsible for anonymously funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to various conservative grassroot groups,
including some linked to the far right.He also used his influence there to divert funds to Opus Dei, with the pass-through soon becoming a regular donor to the Oakcrest School.
As Leo’s access to the world of dark money grew, his Opus Dei friends the Corkerys became critical as a front for the tens of millions of dollars streaming through Leo’s hidden network of nonprofits.
Neil and Ann had provided crucial cover for him during the campaign to secure the confirmations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito in 2005,
hiding the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent to influence public opinion.
As more dark money poured in starting in 2010, they began to do the same again through various nonprofits such as the "Wellspring Committee" and the "Judicial Crisis Network".
Their importance only grew following Scalia’s death,
as Leo pumped his network for ever larger sums.In the weeks after Scalia’s death, the Corkerys began opening the purse strings in what would eventually become a 🔥$17 million campaign to stop Obama from replacing Scalia
and instead ensure a reliable conservative filled the vacancy.It was just the start.
Over the next five years, Leo and the Corkerys would oversee the transfer of almost 🔥$600 million of dark money to right-wing causes.
Their hidden ecosystem would eventually enable a conservative takeover of the Supreme Court that would disassemble
hard-won civil rights and turn back the clock on issues close to their hearts
— on abortion,
on affirmative action,
and on vast swathes of what they saw as a progressive agenda. -

A nice find while out toy hunting yesterday. Rather appropriate, too, as it coincided with Leonard Nimoy’s birthday.
The Three Spocktors.

I can’t let the day end without remembering Leonard Nimoy on what would have been his 95th birthday.
Actually, it’s been a bit of a Spocky day today, but it’s late, I’m old and I’m tired, so I’ll tell you about it tomorrow (it’s nothing exciting – don’t let it keep you awake). But, yeah… a little bit Spocky-wocky.
