A wild workspace in front of the Mars Curiosity Rover following its Sol 4928 drive this week. Check out all those polygonal fractures! flic.kr/p/2sjzEfy
Rocks covered with polygonal fractures that appear to have been filled in with mineral that's more weather resistant than the surrounding matrix.  And sand.

NEWS: Donald Trump just gave a MASSIVE handout to the richest corporations in America. How? By delivering them new tax cuts for research they've ALREADY done. Some billionaire companies will pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher. It’s shameful.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
