Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

Our most recent adventure into the Rosette Nebula. About 25 hours of total exposure time, ZWOFF80 telescope, ZWOASI2600mc Pro camera, ZWO AM5 mount. No filters. Stacked in Pixinsight, tweaked in Photoshop. By Tweaked, I mean star spikes and our signature. #astrophotography #astrosky #astronomy

First deep sky image from my new telescope! The Flaming Star, Tadpole, and Spider Nebulae with friends. The Askar SQA55 has a 7.8 x 5.2 degree field of view with my full frame Sony Alpha7 III camera. This uncropped image is from only 1 hour of 20s exposures! Details in ALT. #astrophotography

NASA has released the available launch dates for Artemis II in February, March, and April.
There are more windows past April available (monthly effectively) but these are the primary windows.

So, anything slighty deviating from current politics gets you labeled as radical, extreme or even terrorist.
What deviation makes you a radical terrorist?
Mine's that I am convinced that a universal basic income (UBI) would make things a lot better for many people.

There are a lot of people already capitalizing on the death of Renee Nicole Good on Etsy. There are clear benefits to publicly taking a side with a shirt but many downsides to low quality fast, disposable fashion from vendors who have no ideology beyond selling stuff.

Just learning from @supertanskiiii.bsky.social (on Insta) about the scale of image based abuse taking place on X.com (and elsewhere). We have been working with a leading specialist org to bring legal action for victims. But I also want all men who care about women to call this out as unacceptable.

These are apparently facial reconstructions of a 2,300-year-old Pazyryk Scythian male and female from the same kurgan in Berel, Kazakhstan and not - as I first thought - that couple I met at a Spiral Tribe soundsystem in 1992 who sold me E that turned out to be paracetamol.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms.
I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.
Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.
