#ImpeachTrumpNow #Venezuela

I do not normally get involved in politics on this account, but I must formally state, for all my local, national, and international friends, that I 100% do not approve of the illegal war the United States just started with #Venezuela. Stay safe, if you can. 💔🔭🦛

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

It only takes Australia two days to do what the US does in ... Never. apnews.com/article/aust...

I do not understand why the president is murdering Venezuelan citizens on the high seas in the name of keeping drugs out of the United States but then pardons a person convicted of conspiracy to i.port drugs into the United States. Seriously. Politics aside, I simply don't get it.

@christameck.bsky.social You're not in O'Hare airport right now, are you?

Someone died stealing a backpack of groceries from Aldi's. Thank you, out-of-touch Trump Administration.

Why is this administration trying so hard to starve its constituency?

Can we just leave it like this? It pretty much sums up how I feel right now.

Every IT professional has a story. At #NWC2025, attendees sat down to share theirs, from humble beginnings to incredible milestones! Now our video team is turning these into epic highlight videos. Stay tuned! 👀 #nagios

Our Ninterns have been working hard today rehearsing their presentations on life in tech, lessons learned, and career growth. They’re excited to visit the University of Wisconsin-Stout to share their experiences! #nagios

How it started vs. how it's going. #nagios

Chances are slim anyone will read this, but if there's any #Nagios #NWC2025 folks at The Depot tonight, you're welcome to join me for some Pinot!

I'm at the gate about to get onto my flight to #NWC2025. See you all there! 😆

Packing up to head to #NWC2025 in beautiful St. Paul, Minnesota tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing the new #Nagios @nagiosinc.bsky.social headquarters and reconnecting with some old friends!

Tell your congress person that we need to continue to fund the NWS through NOAA! ☁️🔍🦛

I love this.

NGC 7000, also known as the North American Nebula. #Astrophotography by me using my #SVBONY SV503 102mm/f7 scope, 0.8X FF/FR, #PegasusAstro Focus Cube, #Optolong L-eNhance filter, #ZWO OAG with #ASI290MM Mini, #SkyWatcher EQ6R Pro, and #ASI2600MC Pro cam. #Siril and #GIMP for processing. 🌌🔭🦛

The Western Veil Nebula from last night's #Astrophotography. Captured with two 2-hour panels on the #Seestar, processed with #Siril and some minor tweaks in #GIMP. 🌌🔭🦛

Isn't this what most people do every day? It's called "thinking" and it involves using one's intellect to examine one's experiences and make informed choices about what to do in the present and the future. It's almost indistinguishable from "magic."

Was that "shit" or "shot" with a typo? 😜

Today in History #TiH: U.S. General Douglas MacArthur, left, watches as the foreign minister Manoru Shigemitsu of Japan signs the surrender document aboard the USS Missouri on Tokyo Bay. Lt. General Richard K. Sutherland, center, witnesses the ceremony marking the end of World War II.

Did you know that the Sun is about 109 times the diameter of the Earth? That means that in this image of the #Sun that I took earlier today, the Earth would be about 13 pixels wide. I've put a fake Earth about halfway off the center to the left (marked with white lines). #Astrophotography☀️🔭🦛

No context.

Today in History: On August 6, 1945, during World War II, the U.S. B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, resulting in an estimated 140,000 deaths.

No one cares about higher resolution videos. They care about GIFs. About bookmarks. Images in DMs. Bookmarks. Edits when there's no interaction. Bookmarks. Stop incremental improvements on things which don't need improving and start implementing things people actually ask for. Like bookmarks.

And this will make us all forget what a douchebag he was? Gwennie is not my idea of a "these are not the droids you're looking for" type distractor. They should just stop talking about it and let it go and people will forget. But now? It's going to be Nicole Kidman but for cheaters.

Sorry, I'm just seeing this now. This is NOAA weather data. cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES19/ABI/S...

Do you remember when we were all smart enough to know how to take a shower without the @apnews.com having to tell us?

I'm all for blocking as a strategy for dealing with life. But. Why post something to a public space and then be mad when someone asks "can you tell me why you said that?" 🙄

I took the liberty of doing a very fast Astro edit with some of the software I have on my phone. It's very limited compared to what I can do on my main Astro computer, but I think the results are pleasing. Remember, this is YOUR SON'S DATA, not mine! 😁🌌🔭🦛

This is why I do astronomy outreach for kids and older adults. Every time, you can see the spark! 🌌🔭🦛👩‍🚀

You will never be able to unsee this.

I feel like we need to see this again today.

Last week, I: • Donated $50 on GoFundMe so a stranger could cremate their pet • Then I did it again • And again • And again • Then I told my wife and she said she loved me

Let us never forget how we came together one day in 1975 as Evel Knievel jumped a Harley-Davidson XR-750 133 feet on October 25, 1975. He held the record for 19 years. Knievel jumped 14 buses followed after adding the additional bus as 13 was an unlucky number. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ratq... 🏍️🎢

All of my entries for the @darkskyintl.bsky.social #CaptureTheDark photo contest are linked from my web page. I would greatly appreciate if my #Astrophotography and #DarkSky friends would take a peek and vote for any that you like. 🌌💫🔭🦛 astropotamus.com/darksky

On this day, June 28, 1914, in an act that sparked World War I, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were shot to death in Sarajevo by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip.

Reposting because #Astrophotography is hard to type. 😬

Ohhh, I wish I had some cash lying around. Agena Astro has a closeout on an open box William Optics RedCat 71 III WIFD f4.9 Petzval Refractor Telescope. This thing is a steal at less than US$1400, and it's the last one left!
