Finally finished my timelapse of the lunar eclipse under the aurora in Fairbanks, Alaska! Check out the massive substorm turning the ground green in front of the eclipse, too!

This is one of my favorite timelapses I have captured!

Had to fly from Missouri to Colorado to fly back across the Missouri River toward the east coast but at least I got to see the Missouri River!

Climate change is speeding up — the pace nearly doubled in ten years Earth is now warming at a rate of around 0.35 ºC per decade, fresh analysis finds.

I hope some of you find this thread useful. I did not enjoy putting it together.

Time series plot depicting predicted Nino 3.4 region ocean temperature anomalies from the latest (Mar 2026) ECMWF ensemble. It depicts an extremely rapid rise in such temperatures, from modest negative anomalies to strong positive anomalies, by mid-summer 2026--indicative of a transition from weak-moderate La Nina conditions to moderate-strong El Nino conditions over just a few months.

Whew.

All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El Niño event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.

But because of their suffocating conviction that everything is always Fundamentally Normal, that America is a place where nothing ever really happens or changes, those same people are incapable of recognizing the enormity of what we’re doing, when we’re the ones doing it.

It’s lunacy, madman stuff. We’re just going around killing whoever we feel like, with zero regard for the law OR the consequences! If any other country were doing it our political class would say, probably rightfully, that there was an urgent necessity for their leaders to eat a cruise missile.

Having faced no consequences for anything, Trump has noticed that he has the world’s largest military at his command, and believes he has found a brilliant solution for solving problems that no one before him was smart enough to discover: just kill everyone in your way, until they obey you.

Traveling internationally for, effectively, the first time ever. Three legs. First two are delayed. Final one takes me across the ocean. Not sure I'm made out for this sort of travel and possible complications

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Lesser Prairie Chickens Delisted from ESA The U.S. Fish and Wildlife (FWS) recently moved to confirm the delisting of the lesser prairie chicken, a rare and long-embattled species of upland bird. The action is the latest in a back-and-forth o...

Oh for fucks sake

I miss that they delisted the lesser prairie chicken from the Endangered Species Act last week. Ranchers and oil fought tooth and nail for years for the right to destroy habitat

I know Pheasants Forever can do good work, but “ranchers will voluntarily protect the birds for no benefit to themselves, don’t worry” is not actually viable conservation policy

They’d do it with incentives, maybe! But it’s more profitable to just have more cattle instead

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

1 Inquiry for New York Times Good afternoon, My name is [REDACTED] and l am a reporter for the New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it. With gratitude, [REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement Hello [REDACTED] We do not collaborate with The New York Times. Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours. The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable. So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it. Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

It's amazing to see the Tycho so much brighter than the surroundings when the earth is blocking the sunlight.

Record profits are unpaid wages.

In a just society, one 40-hour a week job should pay enough to support a nuclear family — one brief stint as CEO should not pay so much it creates generation wealth and empowers the 1% to buy our elections.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

Lenin’s assertion that imperialism is the central question of our period of capitalism continues to be disgustingly confirmed repeatedly

The essential thing is not merely to prevent war, but to utilise the crisis created by war in order to hasten the overthrow of the bourgeoisie.

I don’t even know what to say atp. Down with Israel and the United States. Down with imperialist capitalism.

Illustrated graphic with the boot-shaped Rubin Observatory atop its site on Cerro Pachón beneath a sparkling night sky and the glowing band of the Milky Way stretching from lower left to upper right. Sprinkled throughout are many "Data alert!" popups, labeled with icons that represent supernovae, asteroids, hungry black holes, and more.

A 3-by-4 grid of grayscale astronomical images zoomed in on single objects. From left to right, the columns are labeled Template, New image, and difference. From top to bottom, the rows are labeled supernova, variable star, active galactic nucleus, and solar system object.

The largest spot-the-difference effort EVER has begun!🚨

On the night of Feb 24, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory officially released its first ~800,000 public alerts of detected changes in the night sky!🔍

The reason you stand firm about sports participation and bathrooms is because it never stops with sports participation and bathrooms. And it never stops with trans people.
