New platform, might as well introduce myself properly for once.
I'm Scott, I studied geology at Indiana and now I live near where I grew up and work for a private engineering firm in NJ with most of our work being in NYC.

1% is a huge number unless you're talking about trans people
@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye
Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.

The aurora last night (Nov 26-27) as seen by the NOAA-21 satellite. You can see it was a pretty bright night with the auroral oval not too extended beyond the normal range.
Yellow areas indicate brighter emission (aurora and city lights) while blue/black areas are darker.

I'm confused what this is actually for since we can't DM photos

I went through my craft grade skulks and bones and figured I could put together little bone baggies if anyone in the USA (only!) wanted them for $25 each + shipping lol
If you can’t read my handwriting on the baggie, it’s in the photo alt text lol. They’ll go to whoever claims them first.

My kid has started designing "coloring pages" that he wants me to "put on the internet" so kids can print and color them.
I'll properly scan and upload this eventually but here's a preview of his first creation.

It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible.
It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.
