Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

You are going to want to save this image for the next time a person just "asking questions about trans people" gets caught impersonating a priest.

A stunning cosmic dance: A combined image from the Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope's MIRI instrument captures the intricate interaction between the spiral galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207. The image reveals a mesmerizing display of swirling gas, dust, and young stars, showcasing the dynamic forces at play as these galaxies collide and merge.

A nine panel collage of different space images containing many stars. In the center of the image in white text it reads: “stars”.

where are my star lovers at

ok, my hottest hot journalism take is that journalism which relies on paywalls for funding and restricts access to those who cannot afford it or otherwise just cannot be bothered to jump through the hoops to read that content is not accessible journalism, and access matters a ton right now.

Giving up Twitter… heard it’s nice here… here is a picture I took from my front door. If you see it give me a follow….

A roughly circular cloud of gas and dust with complex structure. The inner shell is made of bright pink and orange filaments studded with clumps and knots that look like tiny pieces of shattered glass. Around the exterior of the inner shell, there are curtains of wispy gas that look like campfire smoke. Around and within the nebula, various stars are seen as points of blue and white light. Outside the nebula, there are also clumps of dust, coloured yellow in the image.

This is Cassiopeia A, a star that died 320 years ago.

Good morning, Bluesky!☕

the cat burglar and his evil little sidekick

A scene with inky darkness. The moon blots out the sun and ring of fire appears in the sky. The horizon looks like sunset and the golden color reflects in the lake. Three people in the bottom right corner look up. They are in silhouette.

Remember the eclipse back in April?

Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.

A very deep red spiraling space nebula, with some complex purple structures at its center. There's also an immense number of stars, including and handful of prominent bright ones, including the triple-star system 16 Aurigae which glows in an orange color.

What happens when put a photon trap on your driveway during the night? Why, glad you asked!

I've now had two different friends with high school aged daughters who've been subjected to shitty teenage boys telling them "your body, my choice."

And to say I'm incandescently angry is an understatement.

Guys, you shut that shit down if you hear it. This one is your work.

have we talked about how pretty the loading screen is

Two cats, one orange and white tabby and one brown tabby, sitting side by side. The orange cat, Mr Lover, looks to the right of the camera with a relaxed, neutral expression. Fishtopher, the brown tabby cat, faces the left and looks at the camera with green eyes.

this town IS big enough for the two of us

Three floofy kittens in a shelter transfer cage. A brown tabby, an orange tabby, and one who is black with a little white chin and paws. They have big eyes and are wondering how they got here.

Three mini floofers!

A night time photo of the northern sky. A mirrored lake reflects the Big Dipper. Northern lights across the lake contain pillars of pink.
