The nuclei of most normal galaxies contain supermassive black holes, which can accrete gas through a disk and become active. These Active Galactic Nuclei, AGN, can form jets which are observed on scales from AU to Mpc and from meter wavelengths to TeV gamma ray energies. High resolution radio imaging and multi-wavelength/messenger campaigns are elucidating the conditions under which this happens. Evidence is presented that: AGN jets are formed when the black hole spins and the accretion disk is strongly magnetized, perhaps on account of gas accretingat high latitude beyond the black hole sphere of influence; AGN jets are collimated close to the black hole by magnetic stress associated with a disk wind; higher power jets can emerge from their galactic nuclei in a relativistic, supersonic and proton-dominated state and they terminate in strong, hot spot shocks; lower power jets are degraded to buoyant plumes and bubbles; jets may accelerate protons to EeV energies which contribute to the cosmic ray spectrum and which may initiate pair cascades that can efficiently radiate synchrotron gamma rays; jets were far more common when the universe was a few billion years old and black holes and massive galaxies were growing rapidly; jets can have a major influence on their environments, stimulating and limiting the growth of galaxies. The observational prospects for securing our understanding of AGN jets are bright.

Radio-Gamma-Ray Properties and High-Energy Implications for Fermi Blazars
Using 1,687 Fermi blazars, the paper reports a plateau in gamma-ray loudness at high synchrotron peak frequencies, interpreted as Klein-Nishina suppression yielding magnetic field constraints for HBLs.

Peculiar Behavior of Optical Polarization in Blazar 1ES 1959+650: Role of Jet Magnetic Field and Geometry
In 1ES 1959+650, optical polarization correlates positively with brightness before a flare, anti-correlates after it, and decouples during the flare — attributed to changing jet viewing geometry.

Dynamics and geometry of the inner sub-parsec-scale jet in 3C 279 observed with the Event Horizon Telescope
EHT 2021 images of 3C 279 reveal an intrinsic, sideways-elongated jet base whose components move at apparent speeds up to 10c, implying a sub-parsec bend toward the observer and viewing angles below one degree.

A toy model shows that adding a hand-made angle-dependent force to dark-matter spacetimes produces visual chaos and irregular numerical-Kludge waveforms, but the force is not a realistic dark-matter perturbation.
