Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

What makes this foil ring float with no strings attached? ⚡️🧪

Using a handheld Van de Graaff generator, we build up a strong negative charge. When a lightweight foil ring is brought close, it picks up some of those electrons.

Bit of crossover with the #birding folks for this #BlueSkyMonday. Folks were quizzing me about the egret and night herons back in the spring, and this 'urban lake' that I said I would see them at. Well, here's a little picture of the spot; Kiwanis Lake, in suburban York City, PA.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

“The worst view of current economic conditions since 1951… 61% blame Trump… 79% of independents have a negative view of Trump’s economic policies… if these numbers hold Republicans can wave adios to the house, and maybe the senate…”

That's the end of Milky Way Season 2025 for this guy.

Earlier tonight somewhere in California.

2x sky shots and a couple foregrounds merged.

Rough ending, but a glorious season. By far my best.

2026 we're planning the early season much tighter.

We're coming for your panoramas, galaxy.

Goodnight from Justine Tuttle, wondering how cold the nights have to get before the chimes of the phantom ice cream van stops being heard. Goodnight from Grace Nash, tying ribbons of prayer to the bare wooden bones of the wild cherry trees on Mill Lane. Goodnight from Hookland.

I think we sometimes love certain places as they reflect what we feel, but can't say aloud. There's an old Hookland phrase – to be tulled – meaning to be caught between two worlds and at home in neither of them. I feel that a lot and I'm sure my favourite places do as well. – Martha Twilling #VOH
