The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

It gets much, much better! Airbus' Pleiades NEO 3 satellite captured 30cm resolution imagery of SLS rolling out to the pad today at 16:24:26 UTC. Incredible imagery! I've uploaded the full capture to @soaratlas.bsky.social: soaratlas.com/maps/140457

I love how in every city attacked, the people have still come out and danced in the streets. David Bowie would be proud. Goodness will prevail.

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so. She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide. She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

They must be SO mad watching Renee Good become the murdered folk hero they wanted Charlie Kirk to be

Aiming for the can't-do-division, can't-use-their-phone's-calculator, can't-count-on-their-fingers demographic.

Naaaaaaailed it

My birthday is coming up.

Are you working on your LMS pages for the spring semester? I have discovered a new source of joy: PAYING HUMAN ARTISTS to license an image to serve as the "theme image" on each course's page. Smile every time you open Sakai! Grin when you load Google Classroom! Marvel when you login to Moodle!

This is impressive. I hope we never detonate another nuclear weapon, anywhere on Earth or beyond.

General strike in MN. The people united can never be defeated!

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Generative AI technologies are the perfect technology of capitalism because they consume resources to create a product that people must be forced to use until it deskills them enough they become dependent upon it. Tyranny as a service, and it's the biggest industry in the world right now.

When he looks you in the eye…

We are going to [the general vicinity of] the Moon, y'all.

I think the misogynist contempt that’s evident as a motivation in the murder of Renee Good makes her killing by a state actor more similar to so-called private violence—eg domestic violence homocides—than some arguments that rely on a firm distinction between state and private violence can sustain.

It looks like I picked the wrong week to quit doom scrolling on BlueSky.

This thread is a really good thread.

Something something petromasculinjty and driving vehicles into peaceful protests and the ubiquity/necessity of having a vehicle in the US and the refusal to regulate MPG and size and safety to pedestrians, and the now ICE weaponizing the weaponization in order to kill (women et al.) with impunity.

My spousal unit is upset because the free trickle chargers that were here when we stayed at this hotel are gone now, but I’m not mad. Last time I glanced down at the landscaping rock and picked up a Paleozoic #fossil horn coral, and this time I looked and saw these smol tabulate friends.

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12 ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12 ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14 Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23

I submitted an abstract to LPSC 2026. I wanted to see how many abstracts were submitted this year. Mine went in at 11:58 pm Central, so is among the last to go in. It will be rejected, but for the student rate ($35) it was worth the experiment. (1/2)

Here is another thing that apparently lives on this planet. The Earth is so small, and so precious. We have to keep fighting for it.

Planetary friends! Don't want to go to Houston in March, or support an institute that's bending the knee? Then join us for the very first Planetary Science Community Workshop in Louisville, KY on April 14–16, 2026. It's our community. Fight for it! Details at the link: planetaryworkshop.org

Rise ✨ Rise when you feel broken, Rise when you have no hope, Rise when there's no end in sight, Rise, I will stand with you. #art #poetry #sciart #nature

60 frames of the moons moving from the uncal files of the F150W2 filter from program www.stsci.edu/jwst-program... #JWST NIRCam animation of #Uranus. Images not calibrated and not cleaned.

The resistance you are seeing in Minneapolis tonight would not exist if it weren’t for the organizing work of Black women.

Black people have been telling you. That’s it. That’s all.

To be fair, “protecting girls’ sports” also has a lot to do with looking at naked girls and women.

“Not sure why nobody’s submitting abstracts,” says organization that deleted scientist’s abstracts after said abstracts were selected and the talks were given.

Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

That’s not lip service.

Happy "Not Submitting an LPSC Abstract Today" to those who celebrate.

We’re being led by the anti-vaxxers of the legal sphere: People who’ve never lived without the protections of international law and domestic regulation, so they only notice the inconvenience, not the horrors prevented. When institutions work, their benefits become invisible, until they’re gone.

Here’s Mark Kelly, in outer space. He’s at the pilot’s seat of the Space Shuttle Discovery… because he flew the damn thing. Just sayin’.

More of this please

Potentially of interest to #QRA2026ADM attendees! Sorry I can't be there this year, but please email me if you have queries.

Things are going to hell, but at least we have @petridishes.bsky.social

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

Made a montage of some of the anti-war emergency protests that erupted today across NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, Portland, & San Francisco. Proud of them for taking to the streets bc of Trump's illegal invasion of Venezuela. More to come! This ain't over! 🙌🏻✊🏼✌🏻 What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!
