New Worlds vol. 22, no. 65 (November 1957)

That yellow thing is a living creature, right? It's some kind of alien which has grown in, or infiltrated that sterile machine? Or was it trapped/imprisoned in it and it's broken out? Wait whose side are we on? Yellow thing or red space guys?

10 LESSONS FOR STRONGER MOVEMENTS

Critique to build, not tear down
Organize, don't just argue
Movements win, not individuals
Perfection is the enemy of progress
Ego kills movements
Plan for the long game
Meet people where they are
Power doesn't care about feelings
Division is a weapon used by elites
Don't play along

Worlds of IF (May 1961)

These guys are all on their way to clichéd office jobs with their clichéd props like briefcases and newspapers, and they even have clichéd wives waving goodbye to them.

I don't quite know how they're all going to fit in that autogyro-hover-thing which is presumably their bus.

I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.

What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.

Warped space, right before your eyes!

This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month features a rare cosmic phenomenon called an Einstein ring. What at first appears to be a single, strangely shaped galaxy is actually two galaxies that are separated by a large distance. The closer foreground galaxy sits at the center of the image, while the more distant background galaxy appears to be wrapped around the closer galaxy, forming a ring.

Science Fiction Stories vol. 7, no. 4 (January 1957)

I love the prosaic quality of this contrasted with the space setting. No knock on the door from an officious-looking old dude carrying a briefcase is good news, right?

Also "Male Strikebreaker"? Someone has to read that story please, so. many. questions.
