Discovering you're wrong & changing is an underrated superpower.

Marvelous new image of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by photographer Satoru Murata before dawn this morning. *

On the right you can also see galaxy NGC 4691. There should be a lot more pictures coming in soon.

(Yes, this one really is the interstellar comet.)

When Republicans in their 30s get caught supporting Hitler in a group chat, conservatives call them “kids.”

When underage girls get sexually abused by Trump's friends (and probably Trump), conservatives call them “young women.”

The language tells you everything you need to know about GOP morality and family values.

There's a coyote on the couch in the backyard. I got this pic from inside when it had just settled down. Now it's sound asleep. I guess this answers why there have been so many little animal bits in the back yard lately. I vote for this because neighbors are having rat problems.
I was excited to score permits for Olympic National Park for the holiday weekend. The ranger accurately described the difficulty and steepness of the trail leading up to Hoh Lake, but didn’t quite mention that the trail has been effectively abandoned. But my fault for looking on the map at a trail that heads straight up to the High Divide area and thinking that sounded fun. Camping alone at the lake was majestic. A small black bear chased a small deer out of the forest at one point, it got away!
Trump voters who are now shocked their family members are getting deported, should really learn to read the signs at the campaign rallies they attend.
Today's hike was my periodic reminder that Saskatchewan is jaw-droppingly gorgeous in ways I never expected before living here.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

One of the most disgusting things about the Islamophobic attacks from republicans on Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is that corporate Democrats are making virtually the same racist attacks against him.

The Democratic Party should be embarrassed that they’re using MAGA talking points to attack their own nominee. Pathetic and cowardly. They sure are earning their 26% approval rating.

Today is #Juneteenth, the US-American federal holiday commemorating and celebrating June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned that the Emancipation Proclamation had freed them 2 1/2 years earlier.

Former slaves celebrated this day as early as 1866. From September 2016 to January 2017, activist #OpalLee, then age 89, walked from Ft. Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C, as part of her ultimately successful campaign to get Juneteenth recognized as a federal holiday.
