You know, this time when we had to air lift my son out of Yosemite National Park, I would have felt really comfortable asking them to pause sending the chopper until I could drive down the mountain and get cell service to price check medivac crews. No really.

Someone please explain to me how every single major media report about Trump and MBS does not start with an explicit statement that the two men are now officially business associates in multiple Trump Organization developments in Saudi Arabia, making any meeting about profit as much as anything else

Intense pink aurora shortly after sunset tonight driving south out of Fairbanks, Alaska. Some of the most stunning color in the aurora I have ever seen!

If you say Dems should negotiate with Trump, please confirm you've read the pre-shutdown Trump EO that authorizes you and yours to be probed as terrorists if you commit any thought-crime listed on the right-hand side of this Ken Klippenstein report excerpt.
*That* is who you want to negotiate with.

Many of you have asked about gifts to us during a shutdown, mainly doordash types of things. No. Instead, donate to local food banks like Manna in MoCo, Capital Area Food Bank in DC, Find Food in PGC, and Food for Others in Fairfax. These serve everyone. Please repost. #fedstrong #shutdown

Substorm starting! Head outside and look north to see aurora. Central U.S. is in play. Use a smartphone and take a test shot if you can't see anything with your eyes. Good luck!

Birding makes you do some really stupid shit sometimes, but aurora hunting is definitely worse.
Sure, I’ll drive alone, having told no one, to a city park I’ve never visited, in the middle of the night when it’s technically closed, and find the darkest corner possible with my expensive camera.

Putting public info only on someone in the admins for profit website is insane. I thought the grift would be, less obvious.
The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia.
Instead, all notifications will be made on X.
We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.
