#Science is one of the pillars of American strength. @GOP attacks on science can only weaken America.

New camera lens arrived today! I'm delaying deploying it, because I want to enjoy the anticipation for a while. :)

Besides the lens, I got some macro tubes. My pointy-shooty camera does credible macrophotos, but I hope I can get better ones with the EOS M5.

@charliesey60 Very nice! Britney's a beautiful pup.

Companies are claiming supply chain disruptions are driving up costs, but they are raking in the profits and increasing CEO pay.

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson's pay increased by almost 40% LAST YEAR to more than $20 million‼️

One of the most annoying things about the #MAGA cult is that they still thump their chests about being "patriots" even while they support America's enemies and threaten to destroy the nation.

Talk is cheap, MAGA rats. You're *not* patriots, no matter how loudly you say it.

1.5C? DON'T BELIEVE IT. Globally disastrous 1.5C will hit the world around 2030. If there is no big change in energy policies by next year, planet catastrophe 2C will be unavoidable around 2045. #climate

@Hillarion107 @GeraldKutney @savetheplaneto3 @KaraJarina Extreme, unpredictable weather cycles (Some of which are caused by climate change) are not simply natural phenomenom. Factories should not produce toxic waste and pollute natural lakes. Now is not the time to do nothing! This is not the right course for the earth! #ClimateBrawl

@LauraSavino747 Beautiful cat! Nice coat too. And I like the flooring. :)

My tabby sometimes claims my desk chair if I get up for a minute, and she doesn't move willingly.

[Laura, just a regular pilot turned writer @LauraSavino747]

This is my coat. This is my cat, on my coat. I just want to go out. #movecat

@TubunMuzuru @GOP btw, I'm not entirely disagreeing with you. It's just that there are always new developments. For example, racism has been around forever, but the KKK was a new development.

Nevertheless, the historical perspective is useful.

[J Bennett @SpecApe]

The @GOP created a monster, an angry, ignorant mob of bomb-throwing radicals bent on creating chaos, confusion, and misery.

Some Republican seem to think they can tiptoe around that truth. No. They need to admit what they did, and kill that monster once and for all.

@TubunMuzuru @GOP Okay, it's true you can always go back and find historical precedents for almost anything, but there was also a specific and recent turn toward mob mentality by the GOP. It began with the Tea Party and gained momentum with the MAGA movement.

This picture is one of the best illustrations of the difference between Obama and Trump.

Obama stared down evil.
Trump bowed down to evil.

[Mark Stern (mfstern.bsky.social) @mfstern]

Notice any difference America?

If we're going to play this game...

Say the last thing you did and end it with "in accordance with prophecy".

@DougFoley6 @PianoGeekRedux I don't trust any politician, but I feel *way* better about having Biden in the White House right now than I would about any Republican.

As MI Attorney General, I will continue to defend the constitutional right to privacy and to ensure (and, oh my God, I can't believe I have to say this) your legal right to use contraceptives in our state.

This is definitely a campaign promise I never imagined having to make.
