Fun fact: Homes that were in the way of the planned telescopes and buildings were moved to other locations and got new owners, instead of being demolished.

Green Bank Observatory was built on several farms that were acquired by the NRAO in the '50s. This meant that initially farmhouses were used as work spaces, leading to this one, 'The Nutbin', looking like my dream home.

@roag505 Get better soon. And I hope it's not too bad.
Every episode will be about fighting unionization on a new planet, and every week a character gets replaced by automation.

Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.
A big obstacle to finding a solution is that lawmakers don't have any knowledge about what's actually happening. They can give canned speeches drafted by lobbyists about access to space, but they're clueless about what it takes to manage it.

Greta Anderson, the deputy director of Western Watersheds Project, authored the petition. ...
“We have no idea how many wolves are actually killed for the same reason but the suspect is never found or the wolf is never found or it wasn’t wearing a collar,” Anderson told NM Political Report in an interview on Monday.

Western water is precious and limited. The thirstiest crop, alfalfa, has no real place in the West. It’s great to see the Editorial board of @sltrib calling for an end to water guzzling alfalfa in Utah.
87% of Utah water goes to farming - largely alfalfa, much of which is exported. In the drought impacted West, growing livestock feed, draining water reserves for cows, isn’t viable
We need to protect western watersheds for wildlife, for people, for life in the West.

@mistymorningme Exactly! And every day for a long time.
A rosemary tree is a pretty cool idea.

I'm not a rocket surgeon, but I'm not convinced that they've thought this idea fully through.

It should *not* be possible for a rando crypto bro to lose $32B. We need a net worth cap. An individual should in no way ever be allowed to amass $1B in personal worth. After $1B, any remaining amount gained needs to go back into community and planetary well-being. Period. How can we live with all these rando idiots hoarding our planet’s wealth when they don’t even know how to manage or distribute it?
@carlysagan Somebody obviously doesn't care about the trillions of humans that will be living inside a computer in the far off future, and that 'effective altruism' is necessary to protect to ensure the survival of our species /s

Finished product. #zentangle #zentangleart #doodle #pendrawing #mindfulness
I'm happy that Artemis I was successful. But it's also difficult to ignore that this is all that's left of a 300 ft tall vehicle because $3B of space hardware was disposable.
@carlysagan An issue no one's had to confront yet (thankfully) is if a private space company can weather the loss of a crew. It feels like Elon's determined to spin that wheel of chance more and more.

Laziness is happening. #dogphotography #silentsunday #dogsofmastodon
Things that stick with you for some reason: In the 90s there was an ad for Waste Management that featured one of its trucks driving past an ornate iron and glass canopy at night, and as a kid I wondered where that was because of how picturesque it looked. Fast forward to today and the same structure appeared in an article about Seattle. A little digging and I learned that it's the Pioneer Square Pergola. So mystery finally solved.
