Nice! I’ve been there: beautiful location, and lighthouse.

Trump clearly fantasizes about having Hitler’s power. Definitely a wannabe.

I wasn’t sure, but it seemed a bit too close to be sure. I just looked, though, and others agree. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Trump is horrible, but I’m pretty sure the Hitler image is AI.

Same as the Ionian, but with a slight drawl on the 3rd.

RIT professor leads research showing true structure of the iconic Ring Nebula RIT Professor Joel Kastner leads a research team that determines the true three-dimensional structure of the iconic Ring Nebula.

A pal of mine is uncovering the 3D structure of that well-known nebula. Cool science! www.rit.edu/news/rit-pro...

This is sickening. (Note the the label on the pallet: “Dispose.”)

Dismantling our public health. Throwing science out the window.

“Fucking insane.” Yup. Let’s go back to pre-mRNA vaccine days, when ~1.25M died in the US from COVID.

Sort of like a “smart” version of Republicans. (No moral compass. Willing to do anything to preserve power. But “clever.”)

Biden tried the “kitchen table” thing. Complete nothingburger. Now’s the chance to say, “it’s about Trump — and his sleazy, divisive cruelty.”

I don’t know why, but when I see a chunky symmetrical knot, I think “clip-on.”

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came?

Boring. Low energy. Sad!

I am at a loss for words!

The amount of hate & political violence seems never ending when it comes to Trump & his people. There is literally NO good that he brings out of people… just darkness.

We need compassionate & educated warriors, leading our nation not incompetent hateful assholes!

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
