They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Mars taken last night.
It's getting smaller now and I was quite pleased how much detail I was able to capture.
The dark "finger" of Syrtis Major is near the limb on the right. Sinus Sabaeus and Meridiani are the dark features towards the bottom.

Bandicoot walking in fallen leaves and grass. Fur is short and grey-brown, lighter in colour near the body with darker tips. Ears are mouse-like in shape but small-ish. The snout (or should I say snoot) is long. Photo credit: Isaac Clarey 2025 CC-BY-NC 4.0 (Int) Bandicoot photo captured using a camera trap method (for species monitoring). Bandicoot is hunched by a brown post with a white cylinder hanging from it (probably used for the research project). Photo credit:	Megan McLeod - Museums Victoria 2023 CC0 Bandicoot standing on grass lawn facing the camera. The long bandicoot snoot is captured by the photo in its full glory. The ear of this bandicoot seems to be missing a piece, maybe from an incident with a predator. Photo credit: Ricardo Simao 2023 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 (Int)

We recently saw bandicoots around our place for the first time *with our actual eyes*! 😀

These rabbit-sized marsupials are nocturnal (and very sneaky). Research finds they are important fungi dispersers, aiding decomposition & nutrient recycling in ecosystems

A micro CT scan of an ammonite revealing the internal patterns of the sutures, a fractal structure across the ammonite spiral.

When you scan certain species of #ammonites, you find yourself in a beautiful realm of fractality and geometry! (2/2)

The issue isn’t whether Universal Healthcare can work. The issue is how do we get from where we are to UH. It took Canada decades and it has a ton of limits we might not like.

The point being we have to find a starting point that can grow it into what works here

Jupiter and its 4 gallilean moons Io, Europe, Callisto and Ganymede.
Imaged from my back garden

Jupiter and its 4 Gallilean moons, imaged on 7th Jan with my Edge 8" and Uranus C camera.

My old camera didn't have enough field of view for this type of shot, but the Uranus is a joy!

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

In the beginning, God created Man.
However, contrary to the common telling, God did not say, "Man, thou must have a mate."
God said, "Oh, shit, what did I just do?"
So, God created a better model and said unto his initial creation, "Behold, I have created People 2.0, with fewer bugs and glitches. I give you Woman."
And Man was pissed.
