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. 🔭

Here are some good questions that the Executive Office needs to answer-

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:
1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?
2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?
3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.
We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.
That's the revolution.
