We flew right over the top of Hurricane Beryl today. Peering down into the eye with the 50 to 500 mm lens gave me both an eerie feeling and a high level of weather nerd excitement.

Whole Hurricane: 50mm, f9, ISO 1000, 1/32000
Eye: 210mm (50 to 500m lens), f13, ISO 1000, 1/26000

Agreed.

Strategic thinking is a superpower.

SWOT Analysis:

[California State Association of Counties® @CSAC_Counties]

Cutting $126.6M from CalWORKs' mental health and substance abuse services endangers vital support for vulnerable residents. This will derail progress in California's 58 counties, including @CountyofSLO.

I love meta analysis studies. Talk about robust sample size. I was a bit surprised that depression didn’t increase as much as anxiety with sleep disturbances. Improving sleep has always been a key focus of intervention in my practice.

I’m so glad to see this kind of investment. With the decreasing cost to send something to LEO (thanks @SpaceX ) I think cost of cleanup should be tied to every approved launch license.

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

That is human-made space debris, an old rocket upper stage, orbiting Earth. The smart folks at @astroscale_HQ have just flown up next to it, proving their tech. Next time they'll grab & deorbit it, cleaning up a big piece. An excellent start!
