Artist, cat lover, lurker, occasional post. Terrible tangler. Love Astronomy, Earthquakes, Volcanos, and weird mathematics. I saw Sputnik when it was the only satellite in the sky. My first never-forget moment was Kennedy's assassination.

If the passengers on an airplane were forced to watch 'Melania' they would still walk out.

PROTEST IDEA:
1. Find out what theaters near you are showing the Melania documentary.
2. Pick a theater at which to protest.
3. Prevent viewers from leaving the movie.

"Melania" Is The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen Is propaganda always this dull...

🧡🧡🧡 "Melania" reviews 🧡🧡🧡
Natasha Jokic in Buzzfeed:
β€œLast night, I left an empty chickpea can on my counter. When I came back 30 minutes later, small, black bugs had swarmed the tin … I would rather relive that moment 100 times over than have to watch another minute of the movie Melania.”

You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a gigantic jet #TLE from space?

Oh, goody. I'm glad to hear it. I'm waiting to watch until they all drop. I'm an old, I don't want to watch weekly serials any more. Bingeing is the only way.

I want to thank Melania for her wonderful movie. My grandmother was in a persistent vegetative state, so we wheeled her into the theater to see it. Damned if she didn't just up and walk right out of there.

Close to Davy crater on the Moon lies a chain of 23 aligned impact scars, known as a catena.

It either mark the remains of a body torn apart by lunar gravity, or debris flung out by a distant impact, falling back in a straight line.

We see something similar on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede.

Long crater chains there are thought to be the fingerprints of objects ripped apart by Jupiter’s tidal forces before impact.

Melania review – Trump film is a gilded trash remake of The Zone of Interest Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable

Rock beach and some surfers with their boards walking in the sunset. Some of them are still surfing in the waves in the background.

Parks and Rec isn't a hill to die on, but one thing it gets right is this whole government thing rests on the shoulders of people you will never know, caring a lot about jobs you've never heard of, fighting challenges thrown at them from every angle just to make life a little better for everyone.

Some green thick column rocks against a black pebble beach with a small wave receding over a green rock on the beach. Behind is a pointy mountain with a little snow on the peak. Grey bright skies above.

Always nice to find some interesting new geology to photograph. Thanks to @andybeavisphoto.bsky.social for pointing me in the right direction!
