I was up till almost 1AM last night with fireworks explosions shaking my windows. People so beaten down by Biden's horrrrrible economy that they can't afford eggs but somehow they can afford to turn hundreds of dollars into smoke all night. Give that money to me and let me do something REAL with it.

An interesting thing to ponder: Without this already weak attractive force, the entire universe would be merely a fog of simple elements like hydrogen and helium. Nothing would ever have formed of it.

My neighbor officially moved out today. I knew this was coming for a while but I feel absolutely gutted, I'm just so sad right now I'm literally surprised by the depth of it. Crying like an idiot. Something to think about: The true measure of success is how you affect the people you leave behind.

They're both going to be glowing dust anyway with companions of that size orbiting that close. After all the impact events subside and the new planet forms, A will for sure be the largest.

In my area, you can kind of ego-score people based on whether you run into them at the local Publix or the local Walmart. People that think they're all that shop at Publix or Whole Foods here. People that actually need to stretch their paycheck shop wherever they can spot a good deal.

Yep. It's the Christian way; Cave into those pesky little impulses knowing you can just go to church and wash the shit off into the holy water and still go to heaven. Don't worry about everyone you hurt on the way there, Jesus loves you anyway.

If instead of forcing religion on kids, we "forced" them to explore the night sky with a 16 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain with the option of a decent USB astro-cam, we'd all DEFINITELY think differently. I think we might even get new religions out of it.

One embraces a dead old way of low tech, xenophobia and primitive thinking. The other races ahead into the future, embracing everything it can for its own benefit. The grunting cave people don't stand a fucking chance. All they have is a hill to die and be forgotten on.

The Geminids are pretty impressive this year. Very bright and frequent. Notice Gemini dead center of the video, hence "Geminids". The radiant is very obviously in the Gemini region - lots of them radiating around that spot as the Earth plows through that direction in space, picking up meteoric dust.

HAHAHAHA! The judiciary should WHAT? Didn't the JUDICIARY just recently hand Trump unlimited power? The judiciary is crawly with alt-right sympathizing as it is. A tiny splotch of blue in there doesn't begin to touch the rebalancing needed to correct for the foul stench of red all through it.

People need to stop thinking of them as radical whackos with ridiculous ideas and start thinking of them as, very simply, state funded media. When you look at them, see Russian media, ever trying to reprogram the masses to suit Putin's agendas. Fox is the USA equivalent, *and it is working*.

NightRunner417 @nightrunner417.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

It's VERY important to remember what purpose Fox actually serves. Just because they seem stupid doesn't mean they are. Their number one priority is to mislead the public and present a viewpoint that favors Trump's actions, always painting them in a positive light no matter how damaging they are.

This is far beyond where we were in 2016, not remotely the same situation. This is going to end very badly. He's going to light the entire Western hemisphere on fire and watch it burn down from a distance. Russia is already cheering every staffing choice he makes because they benefit all the way.

NightRunner417 @nightrunner417.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Maybe, but to tell the Prime Minister of your next door neighbor country that if he can't handle the USAs demands then his country can be annexed... that's way beyond suggesting buying a place far away and with a low population. This and the attacks against Mexico are extremely reckless.

Funny to me in the darkest of ways that a political inclination once notorious for yammering about the threats of a "New World Order" are in fact going to be responsible for creating it.

This is the unsurprising continuation of his previous trend of threatening our existing allies. I would expect a flip soon, dropping current allies in favor of new, hostile ones like Russia, North Korea, and other such fascist regimes bent on conquering territory and subjugating their people.

Again, make no mistake, all of this is an effort to destroy the US to open Russia to world domination. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcxS...

And for those of you soooo persnickety that you just gotta have motion with your meteorites, this is for you. Sorry about the long runtime. The camera DVR forces 30 second minimum capture time after the trigger event, so it's always 50 seconds minimum.

It would appear that I finally found the right amount of caffeine to get my brain working like reeeeally well, so I spent the day improving parts of my cam systems and website. Finally made use of the motion capture snapshots that have been piling up, particularly the skycam. Behold the meteorites!

In case anyone wondered, my little background picture of the Cygnus region of the Milky Way was actually shot by yours truly. All I did is stick a decent 12mm lens on a ZWO ASI385MC astro USB camera and aim it straight up for a few seconds open shutter. Anyone can do it pretty easily:

Just wtf do they think Trump is going to do AGAIN as soon as he regains total power over the country and the law? Yet again, this mad desire to lay down and get squished by the same steamroller they refuse to drive for themselves. As I keep saying, this all ends when we end it.

Fucking paywalls. “... Hunter was singled out, and, because his last name was Biden, because he was the president’s son. That’s what we saw. And so the president believed, enough is enough, and the president took action, and he also believes, that they tried to break his son in order to break him.”
