The bigger part of this story is how this guy worked in a department tasked with monitoring the Pacific for INCOMING RUSSIAN CRUISE MISSILES, and for some reason, Trump decided we don't need that. DEFCON 5 type shit.

Excatly, what Republicans are doing πŸ’― πŸ”₯

Here's an idea for playing hardball. Any business owners who hate Trump don't have to employ people who support him. Gotta cut some fat from the budget? Well, you know who needs to go first. Purges can work both ways.

Happy (all the other) President's day!

If "we" are going to actually refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, then we also need to start referring to America as the DSA instead of the USA. Because we sure as hell ain't united anymore.

I really needed this Philly win. It reminded me that "Goliaths" can be defeated.

Major hack seems to have killed Sony's PlayStation Network wrldwide for 2+ days and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Musk being president now. Of course, there's no word from the US gov on what they're doing about it, since they probably fired the person in charge of dealing with it. #FDT

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰

Trump's right hand man (literally) just casually giving the Nazi salute... twice.

Makes no sense, unless...

Here's my time lapse of the Moon-Mars occultation last night. I made it using my pixel 6 phone mounted to an 8-inch Dobsonian telescope + recording in the 5x time lapse mode. I edited out my telescope adjustments which made the video go crazy for a second or two.

Took a time lapse of the Mars Moon conjunction. Had to adjust the scope a few times, hence the chaotic scene changes.

Got it! First two are photos at 420 mm, third photo is a cell phone looking through a telescope.

If you're interested, the moon will be passing in front of Mars tonight starting around 9:17. Right now it's the bright orange "star" below and to the left of the moon. Hopefully it'll stay clear. πŸ“·πŸ”­
