Welcome to my office. I park right behind the building, can vouch for how big it is. :) My laser trailer on other side of ridge. BTW, that's PanSTARRs just to the right of DKIST there. :)
It's hard to grasp the scale of DKIST without going to see it. That "small"hole in the dome is over 4 meters across. Results like this are generated by the physical telescope of course, but it's also a mountain of very, very clever post-processing methods to mitigate effects of our atmosphere. ☀️🔭🧪

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy.
Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.
