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

I did a little research on what countries have a lower GDP than Elon Musk's net worth after his pay increase. So here we go.
Indonesia, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium, Ireland, Argentina, Sweden, Israel, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Austria, Thailand,

Just when you think you’ve fallen behind… #Storygraph reminds you you’re still making progress. It was a hard month for me & I didn’t read for a good chunk of it. But somehow I still managed to finish 2 books & maintain my pages read! #SeptemberRecap #BookSky #ReaderSky

If we’re going to have Chinese style autocracy in the US, I’d also like the renewable energy infrastructure, high speed rail, electric vehicles, investment in science, and good food.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! suspended indefinitely after host’s Charlie Kirk comments

![REPORTER: Mr. President, my condolences to you, Sir. My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. [unintelligible]
How are you holding up over the last day and a half, Sir?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks? They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. Absolutely magnificent construction. We just started, so it'll get done very nicely.
And it will be one of the best anywhere in the world, actually.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cfy5rgqvohpdqxgu2geb5u2b/bafkreig42mujsiyxozvq3kiayszu47dbk6zds3icm5bwu34twt3d7vbo2q@jpeg)

Numerous journalists and writers purged today for posting factually about a slain regime ally, a bomb threat at the DNC HQ, 6 HBCUs closed due to bomb threats, shots fired at the Naval Academy, and that's just today.

Apparently this is the “trans ideology” written on the bullets. 🤥
Press conference announces that the shooter's bullets said:
Fired bullet:
"Notices bulges owo whats this?"
Other unfired cases:
"hey fascist! Catch! Uparrow, right arrow, three downarrow"
"O bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao"
"If you read this you are gay lmao"

when society asks me to have sympathy & decorum for people like charlie kirk, i think of the lists read out on trans day of remembrance
part of the life's work of people like kirk is both to make those lists longer & to pack as much suffering as possible into those of us still living

I hear the echos of history with each conservative outcry. I fear Charlie Kirk could be the next Ernst vom Rath.

Remember the West Wing episode after Bartlett was shot and CJ listed *all the other people* shot that day and closed with “lest anybody think a gun would have prevented these crimes, let’s remember that the President was shot while surrounded by the best armed bodyguards known to man.”
At least three teenagers were in critical condition after being shot Wednesday afternoon on the grounds of Evergreen High School. The suspected shooter was among the three.

It’s all an attitude of being fine with authoritarianism, just not in their preferred cities. High crime rates in Republican-led states isn’t a gotcha! It’s a tragedy and a canary in a coal mine about what systemic racism and poverty beget. Do better, y’all. Not one city should be occupied.
When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

There's a program to relocate historical houses that are going to be demolished to Altadena. But we need to know where those houses are!

Disasters don’t hurt everyone equally, and the ever present impacts of redlining are a significant contributor to climate/weather vulnerability.
