"We need to breathe clean air indoors" shouldn't be a fringe position.

"I'm trying hard to avoid repeated infection from the brain damaging virus" shouldn't be the view of a radical minority.

It's official. I've been on Mastodon all day long. Is this what it feels like to be extremely online?

I’ve been shopping around and buddy, the prices for a decent telescope are astronomical

The discovery of one of the oldest — and, perhaps, unluckiest — ships to sink off Lake Superior's Shipwreck Coast is being celebrated by the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/nucleus-shipwreck-found-1.6744408 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/CBCNews/status/1624634412485775361#m

Every season of America seems more poorly written than the last. Completely unrealistic plot lines. Over the top villains. They’re literally just redoing nazis and now there’s aliens? Okay. Get real 🙄

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.

#Republicans are trying to replace American democracy with their #FourthReich.

When a school board, a library or a state bans books, it’s not a show of strength. It’s a sign they’re ruled by fear. Fear of knowledge. Fear of opposing views. Fear of democracy.

GIVE UKRAINE WHAT THEY NEED TO WIN!

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.”
