HiRISE 3D: Behold the Crater! This is a large impact crater on the slope of layered deposits in Valles Marineris. The rocky exposures should reveal the structure of the slope deposits to several hundred meters below the surface. https://www.uahirise.org/anaglyph/ESP_089517_1735_ESP_089095_1735_RED

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

PREACH.

Everything that’s going down in the NBA and we’re still advertising for sports betting on screen during the actual World Series coverage with the announcers talking about what’s a good bet? Fuck this.

This man is not well. And very dangerous.

Raptors! #birds 🪶

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment. The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult. It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history. Until then, they're all to blame.

Red-tailed hawk launching from a tree in our backyard.

I haven’t seen the species for more than a week in and around our yard. Glad to see at least three of them show this morning. They were also a little vocal and I really love their call. Groove-Billed Ani. #Birds #CorpusChristiTX.

A Jewish-American journalist was attacked by Israeli settlers nearly a week ago, and Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer (party leader) and Kirsten Gillibrand (DSCC leader), and Rep. Dan Goldman have apparently completely ignored him:

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

american news is like a mad libs where all the parts of speech are slurs and nazi regalia

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

They know the East Wing demolition is bad optics for them that’s why so many have suddenly “come to life” on this platform today armed w/inaccurate talking points about earlier renovations at the WH.

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.

Trump demolishing the East Wing of the White House to build the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom is a bigger priority to him than doing anything to help the American people, including re-opening our fucking government.

Exited to announce that Wilco and I will be getting together to perform songs from Mermaid Avenue live for one night only at Solid Sound Festival on June 26, 2026 in North Adams, MA. Call it special, call it historic, whatever you call it: it's one you won't want to miss. 🎟️ SolidSoundFestival.com

God dammit, NBC News, don't make me actually listen to Kash Patel speak, just to figure out whether he actually said "mind-blogging" or you guys just skimped too much on your copy-editing budget…

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do. Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

John Roberts' decisions gave the president total control over the executive branch. Trump is now using that power to pay himself $230m. Roberts claims he was promoting democratic accountability. Is this how someone who feels accountable to the public would act? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Adios by Antonio Saura, 1959 https://botfrens.com/collections/212/contents/137672

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

I made a joke about the metaphors being heavy-handed yesterday, but this somehow encapsulates everything. The president is wrecking a structure he does not understand and does not appreciate and does not value to build something ugly and self-serving in its place.

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

"hay is for horses" is spanglish for "There is is for horses"

see you later alligator after while crocodile au revoir platypus so long raccoon ciao elephant peace out rat

You know what goes good with self-doubt and insecurity? More wine!

A bunch of people trying to make me feel bad someone robbed the Louvre, lol. Like when the museums give back the world's shit I'll care about them getting robbed. When the French payback Haiti for paying for freedom from slavery maybe I'll care they lost a necklace.

The Epstein Ballroom it is

California, we’re less than two weeks away from the November 4th special election—and Americans are counting on us to turn out. Voting YES on Prop 50 is the best way we can stand up to Donald Trump and put a check on his abuse of power. Return your ballot today! www.sos.ca.gov/elections/up...

trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

"People, let me tell you 'bout my best friend He's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end People, let me tell you bout my best friend He's a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy"

Just stepped off the Senate floor after almost 23 hours. The fight isn’t over—we need to keep standing together to resist Trump’s attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip.
