Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

57 years ago today, Apollo 8 crew member Bill Anders took his iconic photo of the Earth rising over the Moon. It is still a fantastic image. Here's a little video of how it was done:

Saturn's tiny icy moon Mimas hangs in space against a backdrop of the giant planet itself.

The rings cross the bottom of the view, and cast their shadows onto the planet beyond.

Anders, a few years after Apollo 8: “When I looked up and saw the Earth coming up on this very stark, beat-up lunar horizon…I was immediately almost overcome by the thought that here we came all this way to the Moon, and yet the most significant thing we’re seeing is our own home planet, the Earth.”

Anders: Oh my God! Look at that picture over there! There's the Earth coming up. Wow that's pretty.

Borman: Hey don't take that, it's not scheduled [laughs]

A: You got a color film, Jim. Hand me that roll of color quick...

Lovell: Oh man, that's great!

From The New York Independent:
"This is how the Department of Justice is redacting files to cover up for Donald Trump. The top redacted document was released by the DOJ. The bottom identical document was released by a judge during the Biden administration. See the difference?"

The Apollo 8 crew tries, but fails, to show the TV audience their view of the Earth at approximately 217,000km.

Photos developed after the mission reveal what the TV audience missed.

The first time humans saw their whole planet at a glance.

The Crew of #Apollo8 were 12,038 kilometres from Earth, staring in awe at the sight of the whole Earth shrinking into the distance behind the third stage.

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.
