Happy #NewstodonFriday! If you’re absolutely averse to seeing coverage of the U.S. election and Donald Trump, you might want to look away now — or scroll quickly. If you can bear to linger, you’ll find important stories about Elon Musk’s political funding, why the media aren’t talking about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the push to get out the Native note, and what happened after Hurricane Maria. Interspersed, there’s an investigation into the state of criminal prosecution in Anchorage, two inspiring stories on assistive technology, a look at whether Alan Shepard hit three golf balls on the moon, and some gorgeous photos, including bracken that looks like Jabba the Hutt. To remind you, our goal with this thread is to highlight the work of newsrooms and individuals that maintain an active presence in the fediverse.

Finally, a palate cleanser after this politics-heavy thread: The winners of the Nikon Small World competition, which our @[email protected] featured earlier this week, and which rewards the best photos taken under microscopes. A fighting weevil, many-eyed green crab spider, insect egg parasitized by a wasp and Jabba the Hutt-resembling bracken fern were all highlights of NBC’s photo gallery.
