12:20 P.M. at Hilltop. 69F with clear skies. No haze! Quite a few visitors to the overlook; a family enjoying a picnic lunch on the grass. No lizards or boids, but one cute doggo, a small, stout fellow who resembles a meatloaf. No PT today, but my lap around the circular path was wobbly nonetheless.

I agree, that struck me as missing what was actually annoying about Shannon.
Jeff complained in his On Fire podcast that fans were mean to Shannon earlier in the season just for being about “flowers and love.” 🙄
No, Jeff, that is NOT the reason we didn’t like Shannon. Get a clue.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

You know how the gramma in “Parenthood” sucks in some helium & then says “When I was a little girl, Grover Cleveland was President”?
Well, when I was a little girl, a candy bar was 5 ¢ - I shit you not.
When they went up to 10 ¢ I was outraged. Wrappers boasted that the bar was bigger.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Any constellations you can see year round look the same winter & summer, which are viewpoints about 2x93 = 186 million miles apart. So anywhere in the inner solar system should be similar. Beyond that, as you traveled much farther out things would gradually look different.

this photo makes me ask, again, if the constellations we name & identify from earth would be recognizable from 'outer space'?
It was cold out in that field at 4am this morning!
But worthwhile just to get my own unimpressive photos of interstellar comet 3I/Atlas. 🔭

the opening sentence in the VICE article made me laugh right out loud at the breakfast table.
Upon reading the article I finally understand references to 3I/ATLAS which I've heretofore seen only in defiant comments re: NASA Insta posts (Mars photo: "fake! AI! why can't we get a clear photo of 3I!")

Interstellar is a Christmas movie. While they're on the knee-deep water planet 23 Christmases happen.
The original "Planet of the Apes" is a Christmas movie. In the first ten minutes alone it has like 2,000 Christmases.
