My husband and I are the harbingers of doom.

Whenever we go on vacation, there is a high chance of a major disaster occurring at that location within 18 months of our visit. Here’s a list of all our vacations since getting married and the disasters that followed:

I just got a new telescope: an Apertura AD10.

Recommendations for DSO to look for. My backyard is in a Bortle class 7 but I can easily get to a class 4.

I got to see a fireball from the Taurids meteor shower tonight. That was a solid way to end my Halloween.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.

Now they are arresting firefighters who are actively fighting a wildfire. Like, who in their right mind would do that? Apparently the US government.

Fucking sickening the lengths they are going to to meet their quotas.

2 firefighters battling Bear Gulch wildfire detained by Border Patrol
The arrests, caught on viral videos from other firefighters working with them, come after an investigation that CBP says it was assisting the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in two contractors.

Trump is now claiming that museums are the last segment of wokeness in America. There’s a lot we could say about how completely absurd and unhinged that is, but honestly, his own words say more than we ever could. Here’s what he posted:

Got to watch to watch an astronaut re-entry from my backyard last night. That was cool.

I love when anime sneaks in famous orchestral music.

Last night I started a new anime to fall asleep to. The soundtrack started playing a familiar piece of music in the background. Watched a second episode trying to figure out what piece it was. Watched two more episodes just to listen to it more.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

I’ll be attending my first protest this week.

I’d rather stay home and play video games, but shit is too fucked up to not do anything.

Wut.
What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I am mortified. There are more videos and stories every day. It is hard to believe this is happening in the US. Why are we letting this happen? Unmarked and unidentified ICE agents make it all the more terrifying.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Government is pissing off the nerds. My experience tells me to never piss off nerds. When motivated, nerds are capable of incredible feats.

Score 8 points or higher on this 81 point quiz and you get shipped off to prison. I can’t think of anything where a 10% score is passing or meeting criteria for anything. This is just another horrifying story on how easily people can be disappeared.
