Today was a very good cloud day. Lovely puffy ones just after sunrise. And layered, excited ones this afternoon. I caught a downpour in one of the photos towards the end out to the southwest. We only got a few drops of rain here. #AZwx

'So keep fighting for freedom & justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Be outrageous... rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce.

And when you get through celebrating the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was!'

lol #NoKingsDay is a DIRECT result of people not hiring a qualified Black woman and I think there's an IMPORTANT lesson to learn from that.

I don’t have kids, I don’t want kids, I don’t particularly enjoy being around kids. But let me be very clear and as unambiguous as possible: I STILL WANT MY TAXES AND SPARE GOING TO FEED KIDS, YES, 100%, YES.

🌈Dr. Franken Frizzle 🎃 @swilua.bsky.social · 12d

Let me go on the record: as much money I have, whatever I can spare, I will ALWAYS want the extra to go to feed children

Have we already finalized the #2026MMM line-up?
Yes.

Is it epic?
For sure.

But is it ridiculous?

This is 'Rakotzbrücke Devil’s Bridge', commissioned in 1860 in the German village of Kromlau in Gablenz on the estate of Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke, now a public park.

Its purpose is ornamental: to form a perfect circle with its own reflection when light & wind permit.

Sangre de Christo Mountains outside Taos in a sunset color festival of pinks, oranges, and purples as a thunderstorm moves through. Large rainbow visible against the mountains with thunder and lightning overhead. Heavy rain and wind starting just as I took this photo. No filters.

#NMWx

Picture of Pueblo Peak outside of Taos, NM tonight as a thunderstorm collides with sunset against the mountains, turning the landscape into a swarm of yellows, oranges, pinks, blues, and purples. Virga, rain that evaporates before falling to the ground, is visible. There is also a bright rainbow on the side of the mountain that my phone's camera can't adequately capture.

COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

There is a lightning bolt from cloud to ground on the right side of the frame. The clouds are illuminated purple around it. A few stars are visible in a break in the clouds above.

It is night. There is a storm over the mountains. There is a bright flash on the horizon where lightning strikes. The clouds are illuminated purple around it. Stars are visible in a break in the clouds above.

Another shot of a thunderstorm over Superstition Mountain just outside Phoenix AZ. I love how the light shows the surface winds pushing along the front edge of the storm at right.

A bolt of lightning illuminates Superstition Mountain on the Eastern edge of the metro Phoenix, AZ area. Brilliant purples backlight the shafts of rain and illustrate the surface level wind generated by the storm moving left-to-right in this frame.
