Anybody else still curious who planted the pipe bombs, disabled Mike Pence’s key card, removed the panic button in Ayanna Presley’s office, and shared the locations of non-reinforced Capitol windows?

I just had to update my numbers for a lecture, so here's your periodic reminder: Starlink is now 55% of ALL active satellites in orbit.

And given the recent news about that awful billionaire unilaterally deciding to cut of Starlink internet access to parts of the world whenever he wants to, this is extra important to share. Why did our governments effectively gift Low Earth Orbit to one awful dude? This is so bad.

You did not imagine it
there was a time
when we flattened the curve
when most wore masks
when we were sort of in it together.
was it enough?
no, it was not enough,
not nearly enough,
but remember it nevertheless
for it was proof that we
can do better
we can do better than this.
That's too much pressure

I decided to learn a new technique on the lathe today. It involved hollowing end grain, so I started with some nice easy to work softwood.

Just kidding, I went with a chunk of dense, well-seasoned flamed maple, because I am not a clever man.

On the plus side, after a couple of hours in the shop I can now back-hollow with a bowl gouge and am only slightly traumatized by the experience.

Joy Reid and "The ReidOut" team are heading to Florida to meet the activists who are fighting against Gov. Ron DeSantis' oppressive education policies.

Goor morning friends! Yesterday was a great day for wildlife! I saw a snowy owl, coyote, barred owl, and some cross bills! Although the snowy owl wasn't in a nature spot like I would have preferred, (it was on top of a roof), I was able to get flight shots. I hope you enjoy them.
