Another example of how #small is beautiful. Red raspberry slime mold fruiting bodies on birch log. #Maine #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #naturephotography

Even #small things can have big consequences. A worker bee (Asian rock bee, Apis dorsata) on her exposed nest in Sri Lanka, holds a drop of water on her tongue. Like mammalian sweat, the heat taken away by evaporation helps keep things cool. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #bees

Weird output from Google AI: I wanted to compare the actual path of Hurricane Melissa to the path that had been predicted, and the AI overview goes on about a "Fictional" hurricane. Strange. #AI #science #climate 🧪 #weather #hurricanes #melissa

What is it like #inside a #honeybee hive? You would see several parallel combs covered with workers, doing their jobs. It would be dark. This is a view, in red light, which we can see but bees cannot. From an installation at Gallery Project in Ann Arbor. #BlueSkyArtShow #insects #photography

Let's #Relax with the #BlueSkyArtShow Saturday October 4, 2025. Crocodiles chilling next to the Tárcoles River in Costa Rica. The biggest ones were about 2.5 meters long.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow on September 20, 2025, the theme is #angles. Here: people walking up a STEEP angle at #SleepingBear dune overlooking #LakeMichigan. One of the most beautiful places in the US; it is hard to appreciate until you have been there. #midwestbeautiful #photography #eastcoastkin

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

This is how you do political debate, right @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social ?
Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

yeet me into space.

i don't condone vigilante justice or extrajudicial murder. but kirk has certainly peddling in the language of political violence for years.

he called for derek chauvin to be pardoned.
he called daniel penny a hero.
he turned kyle rittenhouse into a conservative martyr.

Charlie Kirk was practicing politics the right way, per @ezraklein.bsky.social
Going down memory lane with Charlie Kirk.

Here he is saying Jim Crow benefited Black Americans, when the truth is he’s repeating white nationalist propaganda and rhetoric.

I can’t even believe I got this photo. I wasn’t supposed to chase that day. I ran out to the edge of the desert at the last minute. I happened across this scene, but this cell wasn’t producing much lightning. Still, I set up the cameras & waited. Finally, it let loose this beastly double bolt. #azwx
