Guy on CNN just now cited Maduro's election loss and subsequent refusal to cede power as a justification for removing him.

The setup is technical. If you can manage one that has an automated mount, all the better. The StarSense Explorer should get the job done. But you’ll need a telescope with a good enough aperture to see Saturn and Jupiter well enough. Zoom often gives blurry or faded view that far out.

I’ve used the Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ with my little kids and we’ve had excellent views of Jupiter and Saturn. With the right eye piece, we’ve seen some of Jupiter’s Galilean moons.

There were survivors of the Grand Blanc Mormon chapel shooting at the game. I'm not sure the victim complex far outstrips the actual reality as you say. And you're right: it happens at almost every BYU road game. I've heard it chanted at games vs. SDSU, UNLV, and Cal going back to the '90s.

Call me an effete liberal snob but I like that Mayor Wu can do this. I like having a mayor who has a developed inner life, who doesn’t give the impression of being hollowed of everything but ambition.
