    Well, this is nice. NASA has extended the contract with Caltech to support JPL for another five years.

    I wonder how well a Democratic Presidential candidate would do next time just openly saying, “He’s a liar. He’s racist. He’s a sexual predator. He encourages violence against political enemies. He’s a fascist.” Assuming Trump is still President in 2020.

    More evidence that Trump himself is throwing more gasoline on this cultural dumpster fire of hate and violence.

    Three days between Trump making a *very* thinly-veiled threat of violence against and her having to cancel events after “very serious death threat”:

    But then <rubs fingernails on shirt and inspects them causally> I’ve taken a cool shot or two of them myself.

    Dang, that’s a nice shot. I love fluctus clouds!

    So, I went in search of a corncrake and came back with a shot of a cloud. “Resembling evenly spaced rolling ocean waves, Kelvin-Helmholtz are one of the most striking cloud types and an extremely rare phenomenon” (MetOffice)

    From the photo, I assume NASA has invented antigravity.

    Not all experiments can be done in space. That’s why we have a unique three-story habitat that helps us study factors like isolation & confinement in remote conditions. Read about this experience from those who recently “returned” from a 45-day mission:

    She forgot to mention: Her boss is the one who has encouraged, MANY times, a hatred of the press. He owns, in part, this “evil act of senseless violence”.

    Strongly condemn the evil act of senseless violence in Annapolis, MD. A violent attack on innocent journalists doing their job is an attack on every American. Our prayers are with the victims and their friends and families.

    Most prefer to *eat* hay but Tiny Elvis is very fashion-forward.

    This is a lovely way to maintain yourself, and in fact aligns with my thinking when I need to detox my brain of the filth from current events.

    Today seems like the right time to do a thread I've been thinking about for a while on how to handle the seemingly never-ending deluge of depressing and disturbing news. My tips are based on my time as a CIA military analyst in which I dealt daily with disturbing content. (1/)

    I wondered what it would be like to stand on the surface of the teeny asteroid Ryugu, so I did the math. The answer: Slopey.

    The arc of the moral universe will only bend if enough people grab hold of it and pull as hard as they can.

    Cripes. The Grand County fires are bad but they make for a dramatic sunset. The smell of smoke is *strong*.

    I may have been wrong. There are a couple of fires burning in Grand County and this is likely from them.

    There's a fire raging near the CO/NM border a couple of hundred km south of here, but the plume is obvious even this far away. The red is smoke scattering away blue light, and the white tinge is from that scattered blue. Corado in the summer + climate ch…

    As the screams/whines about the Mueller investigation, this is very important to remember.

    Ken Starr's Whitewater investigation lasted 4 years, produced nothing. 7 congressional committees, including Gowdy's, investigated Benghazi from 2013-2016, found nothing. Mueller has charged 20 people/entities, won five guilty pleas since May 2017.

    There’s an early-morning launch of a Falcon 9 Friday. Prepare for UFO reports as it flies into sunlight and lights up!

    Note to self: Read this in a place where your screams of outrage won’t disturb other humans.
