Happy Birthday Yosemite, one of my favorite places on the planet. I had a hard time choosing one favorite photo, so I chose a thread of timeline cleansing collections of the many many moods of Yosemite.
Let's start with animals.

So much this. Light pollution harms people, messes up with sleep, is an energy such, disrupts night animals, migratory birds, not to mention robs billions of people from seeing how incredibly beautiful the night sky is.
Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Every once in a while life does imitate art in a good way. I was driving down the hill and the combination of leaf pile burning smoke and incoming storm at sunset made for perfect Bierstadt light.
I wasn't here, but the light was exactly the same. www.albertbierstadtart.org/albert-biers...

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

This is the worst Aurora photo ever, but I'm both excited to see this much color even on my phone, but sad that is mostly cloudy.
Debating taking the big camera and going somewhere with a better view and hopefully less clouds. But it's supposed to get cloudier as the night goes on. 🫤

Some good news today.
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. https://to.pbs.org/4qSZcNU

Happy Anniversary.

Hey!
Calling all Wonder Women!

Such an odd slogan for a grocery store. Are we supposed to forage for food in there?

I have to endorse #Carrollite today—copper PLUS cobalt!
1st I love cobalt blue
2nd cobalt comes from kobold, the German name for an imp or demon, so named bc it made recovery of silver (from ores where they mixed) more difficult to recover.
(Yes that’s where D&D got it.)

#OreCup R1M4: This match is coming hot from a hydrothermal vein as #Carrollite competes with #Bornite. Both are copper ores with a beautiful tarnish. You have 24 hours to decide!

30 Rock did a joke about Nixon's chief of staff H. R. Haldeman in an episode from 2007. The joke was that young people wouldn't understand a reference to events from 34 years earlier.
A TV episode airing in 2025 could do the same thing about a political event from 34 years ago, which would be 1991.

How can you not vote for #Ilmenite?
"Along enabling Bob Ross's happy little clouds to be non-toxic instead of laced with the lead of prior white pigments, titanium dioxide is a whitening agent used to colour plastics, paper and even food."

Will Smith has a reading foundation and visits public schools. Just so you know the guy who hit that game winning homer has done good things for the LAUSD
Daughter comes out of school with a brand new Dodgers hat and I ask her where she got it.
"Oh this guy Will Smith from the Dodgers read us a story at school today"

No matter who wins, this has been a great series. While I'm rooting for the Dodgers, all the respect to Toronto and their fans. This has been such a fun series.
Except Springer whom I still hold an Astro grudge against.

Serious question of my Canadian friends - what is ketchup flavored mayo? It's it the same as thousand Island dressing?

This is so neat! Beautiful and smart design.
When it rains a lot I go to the St. George Rainway to watch water going in and out of things.
So, here’s a thread for those of you similarly enthralled…
