The Left needs to read some Sun Tzu, paraphrasing…

On contentious ground, protest not

Don’t be where they expect you to be unless it’s a distraction

Don’t give them the media fodder they seek, retreat and protest elsewhere and then be gone by the time they get there in force

Meade Newtonian LX70 — just ok but it works (150mm diameter, 750mm focal length).

I keep being tempted to get a coma corrector but they cost more than the telescope did :). So I just crop

Yeah I have an ok telescope and nice mount — I can do better just not from my parking lot with Bortle 8/9 skies :)

And finding it harder to drive 2 hours each way these days and find the time.

I may need to work harder on mine… :)

Was just a short test shot in poor lighting but I really would like to work on it eventually

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

If Biden had done a tenth of what Trump is doing MAGA would have been violently rioting and shooting officers trying to enforce even the most mundane and uncontroversial laws

Remember what happened when the government tried to make them stop stealing from federal lands (not paying the grazing fee)?

Remember, you are dealing with a brainwashed cult, they have created fake “Journals” to publish their lies, they’ll happily trot those out and ignore all objections like they do everything else

Pharmacists who recommend homeopathy should be willing to accept as payment envelopes that once contained money.

Coming up next:

Trump tells Congress to go fuck itself and Supreme Court backs him

Then they fire every registered democrat

Then the arrests begin

Yeah, we do way worse things and that they came up with a way to save them is kind of endearing — at least CO2 poisoning is painless (for birds too as best I can tell). Meanwhile our Housecats kill billions of birds a year.

I foolishly thought it would break down barriers between individual people and bring everyone closer to together.

But no, it elevated the stupidest, cruelest, smallest minded ideas and voices. It brought back Flat Earth for a while, gave us Q-moron, republicanism, fascism, and nazism — haiyah

Oh the sweet idealism — I distinctly remember being this idealistic back in 1992 when I first encountered the World Wide Web. I knew instantly that it would be huge and would transform society, I just thought it would be for the better.

Funny because I’ve been pondering that idea for a while — individuals should have privacy within reasons — but companies I really think should not. And stewardship of a company should come with social duties and obligations, should be a service not legalized robbery, which is what it has become.

Tell you what, let’s START with capitalism—no secrets allowed—every moment of every executive officer should be live streamed, every email public, every company decision up for review. Violations treated as violent offenses.

Let’s do that first and see how that goes — just a small scale test.
