As usual, John Oliver is on the case. Disgusting things happening right now and Disney is letting the constitution burn.

It's busy out there. We live in a shooting gallery, just lucky we are a small moving target. 🔭

Always fun when the big kitties pay us a visit.

Few more of the best lightning strikes from yesterday's storms around #Tucson AZ. That day made up for most of the frustrating chases of the year. Enjoy! #azwx #photography #lightning #monsoon #monsoon2025 #arizona 📷

These are rough times for sure, but 'tis just a season. You could remove all memory of every religion and they'd come back 100 different ways. You can tear science down 100 times, and it will always come back the same way.

Everyone canceling their Disney Plus should be immediately subscribing to PBS Passport. Much better programming anyway. help.pbs.org/support/solu... #PBS #Disneyplus #Disney+

Well, late #monsoon isn't disappointing too much. Some really nice storms around the #Tucson area this evening. Enjoy! #monsoon2025 #azwx #lightning #storms #photography #canon 📷

Large mag 7.8 #Earthquake near Kamchatka, Russia - easily registered in Tucson. This is the biggest aftershock since the mag 8.8 back on July 29th. #raspberryshake

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Propaganda and fearmongering work, millions of smooth brained zombies sucking this shit in every night.

Leave it up to an astronomer in 1906, stumbling around during a major earthquake, to not forget his uncertainties. Simon Winchester, 'A Crack In The Edge Of The World"

Excellent article from @mikevolc.bsky.social on the threat of surprise volcanoes. 🧪

Volcano V2. Fully created in #Blender. #Blender3d #notAI #artwork #volcano

So not surprising that the people who fetishize assault rifles kill more Americans than those who don't.

Gotta love the message and block. I posted a quote directly from the mouth of Brigham Young calling the mixing of races a crime worthy of murder. It's not my problem if you can't look at your own history. I was a 5th generation mormon too. It's facts, not generalization or hate. Sorry.

Should we be at all surprised Tyler Robinson was a Fuentes fan? Should come as a shock to nobody familiar with mormonism or Utah history. White supremacy runs rampant in Utah, I was raised in it. There is a deep dark history of racism in mormonism going back to its founders.

Finishing touches on the volcano project. #Blender #Blender4.4 #RBDLabs #WorldBlender #NotAI

They are propping up Trump with AI. What timeline is this? Video was 100% AI generated. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Charlie Kirk was openly calling for the release of the Epstein Files. Clearly, he also committed suicide.

I found this really nice memorial for Charlie Kirk. rationalwiki.org/wiki/Charlie...

As Mike Lee offers "thoughts and prayers" for Kirk, let's remember his take when a democrat state senator was gunned down in their own home.

This is a big deal, and why peer review matters.

Preliminary mag 5.8 off the Oregon Coast. #Earthquake

I'm just shocked that evangelicals put a pedo into office. Shocked I tell you.

A combination of monsoonal moisture and tropical moisture ahead of tropical cyclone Lorena will bring a marginal to slight risk of excessive rainfall across the southwest U.S. this week. weather.gov

He's definitely seen the inside of a meth lab.

Here he goes.

If there's one thing I learned from Game of Thrones, it's you don't mess with the central bank.

I will never understand what possesses morons to drive like this in heavy rains. There was significant pooling on the road, they hit one right next to me at about 80mph and hydroplaned.

By far the craziest shit I've seen in southern AZ. #azwx #monsoon2025

Who says AZ doesn't get tornados. #azwx #monsoon I10 near Marana

Now that's the monsoon we've been missing. #azwx

A few more lightning shots from last night just south of Tucson. Storms tried to push up into the metro but fell short. Hopefully today or tomorrow will bring some good rain into the city. Enjoy! #lightning #photography #monsoon #monsoon2025 #canon 📷

Beautiful light show south of Tucson tonight. #lightning #photography #azwx #monsoon #monsoon2025 📷

Pattern change on tap for AZ. Ramp up in storms today and tomorrow then likely another deep moisture surge next week. 7 day precipitation totals looking good - hopefully extinguish some of these fires. #azwx

A lot of people can't handle internal conflict. They hit a contradiction and instead of resolving it they bifurcate and compartmentalize. This is how you end up with "christians" openly supporting an authoritarian regime run by pedos and nazis.

In the 1970s Mr Roger's testified in front of congress on the value of PBS‼️

Every click, every scroll, every like, every tweet, every time you open X you're giving this asshole money. Pretend it wasn't a sieg heil, pretend he doesn't have 14 kids by 4 women because of 'Great Replacement Theory' pretend he doesn't think he's von Braun. Won't change that he's a Nazi in 2025.

Created this 3D model of Meteor Crater a while back from Lidar data and hadn't gotten around to printing it until now. Looks awesome. STL here www.thingiverse.com/thing:4200257 🔭

Here is some crime in DC. Maybe a few masked rent-a-feds could take a look.

Nice AZ sunset this evening.

Here is a little blog post I put together looking at the elevated flash flood risks for Grand Canyon as containment on the Dragon Bravo Fire increases, and monsoon moisture moves back into the region. #flashflood #dragonbravo #fire #grandcanyon #monsoon2025 #monsoon #flood
