A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Mars taken last night.
It's getting smaller now and I was quite pleased how much detail I was able to capture.
The dark "finger" of Syrtis Major is near the limb on the right. Sinus Sabaeus and Meridiani are the dark features towards the bottom.

We recently saw bandicoots around our place for the first time *with our actual eyes*! 😀
These rabbit-sized marsupials are nocturnal (and very sneaky). Research finds they are important fungi dispersers, aiding decomposition & nutrient recycling in ecosystems

The issue isn’t whether Universal Healthcare can work. The issue is how do we get from where we are to UH. It took Canada decades and it has a ton of limits we might not like.
The point being we have to find a starting point that can grow it into what works here

Jupiter and its 4 Gallilean moons, imaged on 7th Jan with my Edge 8" and Uranus C camera.
My old camera didn't have enough field of view for this type of shot, but the Uranus is a joy!
