Orion nebula, M42, last night. Fairly clear sky before the next storm and no moon. Never saw this by eye. Wow

I'll be in the midwest for the holidays.
I think I found a use for my high school trombone that I haven't touched in over 2 decades.
If you see a a person following ICE agents around Chicago while playing "Hot Crossed Buns" on a trombone (poorly) make sure and say hi.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

In a tiny red town, in a red county in a red state, there was a No Kings March Saturday. It made me feel so grateful & encouraged that so many folks stood up for Democracy!

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

(activist OR advocate) AND NOT Nazi
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
