Two panels. First: a white, upper middle class family, well-dressed. seated around a table w/ tapers & a floral centerpiece. A prayer is attributed to them, "Thank you, Jesus, for this meal." Second panel: 2 farm workers in a field, large truck a ways behind them. The closest farm worker is slightly smiling at the camera, saying "De nada," in response to being thanked.

Someone named Paul took this in Santa Fe NM today. A severe (G4) geomagnetic storm is underway right now following the early arrival of two CMEs on Nov. 11th. Your cell phone camera might just catch the reds!
Photo of a red aurora in Santa Fe NM. Foreground very blurry; may be juniper trees & houses w/ the lights on in windows.

W/ several tails & an "anti-tail," interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS raises many questions. See alt text for more info. If you read this later than Nov. 9, go to Spaceweather dot com & look at the archive list for the article.
Positive & negative images of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by photographers in Spain; NASA is refusing to release any pictures of it. The photos have many streaks going through them. Earth is surrounded by more than 8000 Starlink satellites, so it is almost impossible to take photos of this low-hanging morning comet without Starlink interference.

He hasn't the talent to skywrite, much less spell democracy.
From The Buffalo News, Cagle Cartoons, by Adam Zygus, copyright 2025 Cartoon revisits Trump's AI poop flight with a nod to the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. On the ground are various poop piles. There are also "No Kings" signs & one sign that shows the number who protested, 7 million. The skywriting, pooping plane says, "SURRENDER DEMOCRACY."

An otter w/ a name tag "Steve," wearing a striped tie, hugging a cup of hot beverage (well, Steve's arms are short, so hugging is how he holds it), is in front of a computer, w/ some books lined up behind him. The cartoon is from "In Otter News." Below the picture is the advice: Do not seize the day. That only startles it, & nobody wants to deal with an aggressive day before coffee. Approach it slowly. Avoid eye contact. Maybe offer a polite nod. Act casual. If the day growls, starts making demands, or mentions shenanigans, back away quietly & return to bed.

Night time on a city street, 3 frogs (people in frog costumes) stand around . At the top of the image is "Exodus 8:2-6" followed by the quotation of the Bible verse: "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... "The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

Circle, red chain. Inside, a green frog with a red polka dot hair tie (no hair to hold back, but some very long eyelashes). In her left hand, she's holding a pipe wrench. A navy blue talk bubble above her head says "We Can Do It!" Across the lower right part of the circle are the words "Rosie the Ribbiter" instead of Rosie the Riveter from WWII.

Remember her? Still awful.
Devin Duke, at sirDukeDevin [on Twitter, now known as X] "• • [opens with the wow-eyes emoji] Wow, this photo of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders giving a speech while literally leaving students out in the rain behind her is getting a lot of attention. Perfectly symbolic of conservatives in America, leaving your kids out in the rain." Sanders is at a podium, under an awning or other cover, while 4 girls who may be in cheerleader outfits, stand behind her getting rained on & showing signs of being cold.

Image of a circular route, shows "YOU ARE HERE" in upper left corner w/ a red arrow right before "Economy collapses under a Republican president." Moving around the circle, the next stop is "America elects a Democratic president who sets the country on the oath to recovery." This is followed by "The economic recovery is slow and uneven so America elects a Republican president." Then "Republicans institute their economic agenda." Now we are all the way through the cycle, back to YOU ARE HERE that precedes the economic collapse under a Republican president. In the centre of the circle is an outline of the United States with the flag included.
