A worthwhile effort -

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum doubled down on the Trump administration’s most unpopular public land policies In a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on Monday.

Here's our statement:

It was 89° in Arvin CA when this irrigator was making sure the onion fields had the precise amount of water they need.

It was 89° in Arvin CA when this irrigator was making sure the onion fields had the precise amount of water they need. It's skilled work as he must make sure there's enough water to prevent dehydration & scorching while avoiding excessive water that causes root damage. #WeFeedYou

Always fun to watch the big airplanes take off and then tuck their little feet in 🥹

Your author, in front of the Capitol Building.

Here in DC again today with The Planetary Society (@planetarysociety.bsky.social) to do what I can to advocate for a healthy NASA budget.

I won't stop pushing for this. If you're interested in doing this next year, DM me!

I truly believe that humanity ultimately at its core is about our spirit and souls, and as such stretching our species’ wings in space exploration is truly one of the most important and profound activities we can undertake. We need to support it as best we can amongst our many priorities.

Must-read.

Neighbors defending neighbors from a tyrranical government set us free two and a half centuries ago - it is doing so again.

From my home to yours -

Have a good evening & a week that is kind to you.

Can only imagine how profound an experience it is.

It is eternally frustrating to me that Star Trek has not been more explicit about how the transition was effected.

ST:Enterprise gave us a taste of that, but it left me wanting more.

It is understandable to gloss it over, but there is a big pocket of hope to be mined here.

Let’s follow the main USFS workers’ unions’ lead and get letters on the desks of our reps, please.

Easy form letter. Takes all of half a minute.

Politicians 💯% pay attention to these.

Please ✍️

Then 🚀 NFFE’s post to help

Yeah 🙃

"name something totally secular, but sacred & holy"

Oh yes, definitely.

I'd make the trip as well.

Too many wonders out there to miss.

Nothing makes you appreciate home like traveling far & coming back.

Just imagine feeling that far away from home.

That far away from everything you've ever known & loved.

Just a living planet being hidden by a dead world.

Excellent choice.

Garbage thinking pushed by garbage people.

It sucked the first time around BTW.

The sense of humor is required to prevent madness 😂

Thank you, it has been.

Hope your day was good as well!

Yes.

Trump is bringing back the classics.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

Contact (1997)

Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

2010: The Year We Made Contact (1984)

👍✌️

This is the winning message.

Democrats would do themselves a solid to run on anti-corruption & affordability.

😍

Rough day?

The ocean is here for you!
