White-light filtered photo of Sun, with Tiangong visible as a trail of small dots across its face. Several prominent sunspot regions, appearing much larger than the space station, are visible as well.

Chinese space station Tiangong transiting the Sun (w/sunspots) as seen this morning from my backyard. Smaller than the International Space Station, Tiangong is visible but hard to resolve with small telescopes. About 5.5 arcseconds in angular size and 0.75 seconds duration for this transit.πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ

Again, I will be strongly engaged in the primary process for the Democratic Party's nominee for President in 2028.
But I will support whoever wins, even if it's not my preferred candidate.
The stakes are too high to be selfish.

Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist.

It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.

I really don't want everyone to forget about Ukraine, given what's happening in the world. What's happening there has been going on for a short time, but in my country it's been going on for years and we live with it.
Keep talking about Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
Keep supporting Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

Schumer and Jeffries not being able to use all Trumps corruption and incompetence to their advantage shows you what shit leaders they are .

Yaroslava just posted this. She is right. If you’re not following Yaroslava, you should be. And support her through Patreon if you’re able. She is a wise voice for Ukraine, its history and culture. You will learn much from her. I know I have.

Analysis | With Stephen Miller running America's domestic policy, Benjamin Netanyahu running its foreign policy, and Donald Trump heading up interior decorating and bribe-taking, the executive branch has tripled its efficiency.

I never really understood why more people didn’t look at Donald Trump and think this guy could really destroy everything.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump β€œlost patience with negotiations”.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

I have a hard time watching old movies and tv shows but the Twilight Zone absolutely zips by and is fun as hell because they essentially do what a show on Apple TV takes two seasons to accomplish in a half hour
