College Board accuses Florida of political motivations in AP course dispute https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2023/02/11/college-board-desantis-ap-african-american-studies-politics/
Sometimes I swear, the arrogance of men on the internet, especially in #aviation circles, is dumbfounding. I dared to share the cost of my plane's first annual (warning, it was a big one) and of course immediately there's people calling me an idiot for paying so much, accusing my mechanics of ripping me off, etc.
So if you are interested in knowing just how expensive #airplane ownership can be or if you're a #pilot and want to hear my saga, here you go. I did what I do and made a video.

@StevenBeschloss It's a sign of fascism and that too many Americans are okay with fascism. It's frightening.

If I don't feel like doing a length drive, I'll go somewhere more local to get out for a bit. High Park is relatively close by. On this venture, I encountered a couple of dozen chipmunks all running around. They seemed to be playing with each other, and having a great time. This little guy was hiding in the foliage and crept out a bit (when I took this shot). Maybe they were playing Hide and Seek.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography #Pleiades is an open cluster of hot blue stars about 444 light years from Earth. The cluster is moving through a dust cloud which reflects the blue light of the stars. Because it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky, it is often considered a beginning astrophotography subject but I have found it quite challenging to capture the blue nebulosity. #StillLearning
For Older Americans, the #pandemic Is Not Over
Seniors are increasingly left to protect themselves as the rest of the country abandons precautions: “Americans do not agree about the duty to protect others.”

Even major science sites that should know better (that DO know better) are pushing nonsense headlines like this.
Just say no to the scare tactics & say yes to the very cool and beautiful physics of the Sun.
The NRA lost over a million members yet retains power in Washington
Multiple stories link multiple ties from Russia to the NRA
It’s time to declare the NRA a terrorist organization which engages in money laundering
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
