Folks, time to stand up for your National Parks & the people that care for those areas and make experiencing them fun & safe. These aren't jobs designed to turnover like your local McDonalds. They require training, dedication, and service. Sometimes years of it. Once that experience is gone...

Green and moody day in the Snow Creek Uncas Preserve, near Discovery Bay. The log jams here slow down the water flow in places, creating nooks for salmon to rest during their travels. My salmon habitat boot camp is in full swing. #OlympicPeninsula

Wise questions from a friend in Nevada, Alan O'Neill. The mantra with folks like Congressman Amodei used to be "listen to the locals." Threatened lands in Nevada have huge local support, yet he still sucks up to MAGA with the same bla bla bla. Disappointing.

We'll call it...the Foundation. It'll be based on the small faraway island of Terminus. The work of Foundation scientists will ensure the coming dark age will last not 100 years but merely 10.

A good #Moon and #Mars photo opportunity this evening. The pair are very close together in Gemini, with the best view around 19:00 UT. They will be close to each other all evening so you'll have plenty of time to see the event. Clear skies! #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage. If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead. Stay tuned - more to come.

What a shocker, BigBalls likely wouldn't pass a background check for a security clearance. Yet he has access to yours and my personal info plus a ton of national security info. Someone get this kid laid before he hands our info off to his "business partners". www.wired.com/story/edward...

We're in a weird place. 40 years from now some kid will need to do a book report on government corruption. Their reading choices will be 1) Teapot Dome Scandal, 2) Watergate, 3) BigBalls.

Official AI slop being peppered throughout X. I'm no fan of the pipeline mentioned, but this whole "can you believe this water project would be paid for with money?!?" prophecies an X 6 months from now where its just bots yelling at each other. Worthless.

If you look to the southwest just after sunset this evening, you'll see bright Venus, Saturn and the 6% lit crescent Moon in a line. Venus will be obvious but you'll need a good horizon and clear skies to see Saturn and the Moon. A good photo opportunity. Stellarium graphic. #Astronomy #Space

Great summary of the the start of NV's clean energy gold rush. Corps blade undeveloped desert, flipping it to others that build industrial solar plants w/ unproven tech. Leapfrogged by PV, the plant is no longer economic. They destroyed critical desert habitat for an $2B experiment. What a shame.
