I have equal disdain, distrust and dislike for the current Democratic Party and the current Republican Party and if that shocks you, you are the REASON he is sitting in the White House right now.
I lost all feelings of
"competence, trust or shared purpose"
from the DEMOCRATIC Party
since the Clinton millionaires cabal occupied it in 1993.
I wasn't wrong, all of you were.
You buried Nader, Bustamante, Dean, Sanders and anyone competent, trustworthy or with OUR shared purposes.

#BlueSky question
I quit Twitter on April 4 of 2021, before it became X,
I tweeted exactly 10 years:
April 4 2011 to April 4, 2021
So I leave my account up there as a document.
Now that I've joined BlueSky for a year, I was wondering
Can I AUTOMATE my posts here to appear there?
Can I?

1. Ray's Astrophotography on YouTube was where I saw #3i/Atlas most directly until I saw it myself with binoculars.
2. Ray's time lapse sequences CLEARLY SHOW rotation - can see gaseous emissions rotate in his observations
3. It's not an asteroid.
This "comet" ought to be classified:
a planetoid.

I quit gambling in 2018.
I could see where "legalization" was headed.
I quit Twtter in 2021.
I could see where Musk owning it was headed.
I am well educated and a critical thinker, so I don't subjugate my thoughts or my money to others.
I encourage all to be alert.
The world needs more lerts.

That was 13 years ago. Sort of just before social media destroyed the real world.

I saw #3i/Atlas this morning.
Drove to a low light -pollution zone an hour and a half away. Unfortunately no way to photograph it.
It was below Regulus, a bluish-white tint and slightly tear-drop shaped, the 'tail'
Tracked it between 2 and 3:30am moving southeast.

Vic #Wemby made a no-look pass to his fellow 7-footer Luke Kornet that hit the rim but was corralled for a layup.
When they play together, it's referred to as French Vanilla. #gsg

Imagine a chunk of planet with a volcano on it tumbling through space.
It's conducting chemical reactions as it tumbles and spins through space. Cosmic rays from our sun engage it.
If this is what #3i/Atlas is like, that's a planetoid.
We have observed asteroids
and now we can observe planetoids.

Coworker is from Baltimore and a very passive baseball watcher. He asked me yesterday what was wrong with Pete Alonso that the Mets let him go that I should know about. I told him that the #Mets hated joy.

Thing about #TheAshes is,
England being so terrible lately, especially as the tourists/guests/travelling/road side,
I can't tell whether Oz is awesome, as if we are back in an Aussie-dominated era,
or if they just look dominant because of the poor English cricket.
