The Trump administration has delayed a final decision on Endangered Species Act protections for monarch butterflies, with a new deadline of June 6, 2030. Monarchs remain without protections while the decision is pending. The agency could act sooner, but this agreement allows years more of waiting. 😔

Day 1 of the #SpacetoberChallenge: Liftoff Today marks exactly 6 months since Artemis II lifted off from Kennedy Space Center, so it felt like the perfect subject for today’s prompt. #sciart #spaceart #ArtemisII #MoonJoy
Original illustration created by me of the lower portion of the SLS launching on the Artemis II mission. From the bottom of the solid rocket boosters there are lines in the shape of plumes coming outward and creating a border around the rest of the illustration. The illustration is in shades of blue/teal and orange

LOSS: A federal court dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block a Florida policy that pro-voters argue bars nearly 80k eligible voters from registering. The policy requires certain identifying information on a voter’s registration application to exactly match information in government databases.

Of course the primary reason why CNN and MS NOW are running the illegal taxpayer-funded Trump campaign ads is because they are afraid of the Trump Admin coming after them if they refuse. The path of least resistance is compliance caused by fear and intimidation.

happy pumpkin season! (art from 2014)
a black and white scratchboard drawing. Alternative poster for "It's the great pumpkin, Charlie brown"
It depicts a vast pumpkin patch in which Linus is standing holding a sign. He is looking up at the full moon. In front of the full moon we can see Snoopy in his aviator costume on his doghouse. 
All the way in the distance, there is a house and we can see three children in halloween costumes coming out the door.

The RNC is piloting a program that trains Wisconsin election observers to identify discrepancies with voting machines. Trump has attempted to cast doubt on the accuracy of voting machines. And the new RNC program appears to mark an escalation from typical poll watching activities. Here's how:

The midterms are being flooded with dark money & Trump is doing everything he can to suppress the vote. But remember — WE THE PEOPLE outnumber Trump and his billionaire backers. Keep phoning. Keep canvassing. Keep getting out the vote for candidates on the side of working people. It is essential.

For the space lawyers: Is this something that the NASA Administrator actually has the authority to do? And, yet again: Jared Isaacman should not be NASA Administrator. (Also, no, there is not now any "push for human exploration of Mars". There is only vaporware.)

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”
