Two @thenrao.bsky.social ngVLA prototypes (sans subreflectors) spotted at the local WalMart.

One of my photos got used for a postcard for the @thenrao.bsky.social 's Very Large Array! Squee!

Happy vernal equinox (Spring!) from the @thenrao.bsky.social's Very Large Array!

I'm currently doing a lightning reread of @jimbutcher.bsky.social's Dresden Files. More of a skim-thru for the first 8 books or so. Prepping for what I imagine is going to be a painful read of 12 Months. Currently a few books away from Changes, and bracing for the reread of Battle Ground 💔

Apparently Republican Jesus is the only valid Jesus now. SMFH

Five hours of @thenrao.bsky.social VLA radio observations in 5 minutes!

Throw your sabos in the gears

Only in Magdalena NM would one get this mass email: "Did somebody’s pig get poached? Why is there a head cut off of a pig at the Hop Canyon/Kelly Rd intersection? It has a yellow tag in its ear. If you need a photo for identification purposes, you can email me at [email]. Peace and love, Nicole"

The ngVLA prototype is progressing nicely and should be fully online for testing soon! Come see it at the Very Large Array Open House event on Saturday, April 18th. @thenrao.bsky.social public.nrao.edu/event/very-l...

A really good overview of the Green Bank Observatory, and how this massive antenna operates. We visited the site back in 2001, but we were civilians at the time and didn't get to go up close. Now that we're 'in', hopefully one day we'll be able to tour the dish itself. youtu.be/UeGVCKECZGI?...

Someone explain to me like I'm an idiot: what are the steps that are supposed to be taken after someone lies under oath to Congress?

Politics of semantics 😏

Natasha Hurley-Walker talks about mapping the southern sky using radio antennas youtu.be/nFEgRt2EH1g?...

Granted, I didn't wake up for the totality. But on the bus this morning, everyone else is on their phones or napping, while THIS is still happening. How do you not just stare out at this‽

Just out here sipping my tea before work

GenXers: Thriving on trauma and Saltines since 1976

Welcome to the (Formerly) United States of America

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Sunset and rainbow, Magdalena NM 6/23/25

Tonight's sunset. A nice cap on our anniversary.

US ally Israel's tanks fired at hundreds of unarmed civilians lined up for food from aid trucks in Gaza, they massacred least 59 people and injuring at least 200 more. Hundreds have been killed trying to get aid in past three weeks. US politicians say they stand by Israel.

Hello Bluesky! SCAM ALERT: There are people doing Muse Scams, impersonating artists and offering to pay you for a photo they find on Bsky or other socials. Mine was impersonating Casey Childs. They insisted on talking through Signal. They even set up a second account to have a previous...1/x

"Special thanks to our sponsor coinbase" This parade is so tacky

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

#NoKings #ABQ

No Kings in ABQ

Dear celebrities: Maybe lay off the tone deaf self-promotion until we maybe get our country back from kidnappers, felons and oligarchs. Then I'll buy a T-shirt.

Trump regime ICE forces attacked a family by ramming their car with children inside, then shot tear gas at them. They were all US citizens. The regime took the father away claiming he had punched an ICE agent during a protest. #3E #StopICE

Ready for tomorrow. #NoKings #ABQ

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Socorro, NM” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

It's almost like the same people who own legacy media are the same oligarchs who want us to shut up and stand in line to be fleeced

I know, I know... But my AuDHD starts screaming whenever I hear it said wrong. It's /pa-LAN-tir/, not /PAL-an-tir/. Don't give JRRT another reason to roll in his grave.

Some call this Magdalena Peak (Magdalena NM), but I call it ... Cthulhu Mountain. Look at that elder God trying to rise up from the earth!

Even if the cowards hide their faces, surely there's a list of names we can compare to Jan 6 attendees and/or white supremacy groups. Payroll, maybe? There has to be a money trail somewhere.

Looks like Musk is playing the part of jilted lover to a tee. LET THE DAMAGE COMMENCE

Good morning from New Mexico

Ah New Mexico, where, after it rains, your car can actually be dirtier.
