Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.

But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭

Kid A came out 25 years ago today. It was one of the most important albums of my life. Five years ago, I wrote this retrospective: www.stereogum.com/2094039/radi...

I just saw an influencer on TikTok say that they refuse to give their child Tylenol, and instead they only give them acetaminophen so I’m just logging off for the day

... There was a documentary on Amelia Earhart running on TV last night, wasn't there?

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 13d

Trump says he’s ordering the release of all government records on Amelia Earhart.

Trump: I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story, and would I consider declassifying and releasing everything about her, in particular, her last, fatal flight! She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation "firsts." She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World.
Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

Totally. The club I do it with is down to one last event next weekend too.

Give it a shot, I think you’ll like it. It’s fun, inexpensive, grassroots motorsports. I do it with the Windy City Miata Club, but there are places all over the country who do it, including the SCCA.

Finally got around to #autocross this year, saved my best run for last. Def some areas to improve, but the car handled great & liking the WedsSports wheels. #miata #miatandrf #miatarf #mazda

Street Art Utopia @streetartutopia.com · Sep 1

Urban walls, sidewalks, and even utility meters are the unlikely canvases behind this clever collection of genius street art. From an illusion of a zebra being striped to a sidewalk creature with a real rock for a head, these eight works turn... 👇

Street art sticker of the character E.T. placed on a stone wall, cleverly aligned with a red metal fire hose fixture so that the two circular outlets resemble E.T.’s large eyes. The setup transforms the fixture into the alien’s head, while the drawn body shows his wrinkled skin, long arms, and glowing finger.
