Charles N Trujillo, MD

This is one of the greatest photos ever taken by a human…so far.

@MosquitoCoFL @mako88sb1365121 @historycalendar Bingo !

@CTrujilloMD @mako88sb1365121 @historycalendar I don’t even get the point of this type of trolling.

Buzz Aldrin on the Moon in a photograph taken by Neil Armstrong, who can be seen in the visor reflection along with Earth, the Lunar Module Eagle, and the U.S. flag, 1969.

@mako88sb1365121 @historycalendar Sun so close yet watch as earth is so far

@CTrujilloMD @historycalendar Plenty of pictures of lunar EVA’s with the Sun in it. Here’s one from Apollo 12: flickr.com/photos/project…

@historycalendar I’d like to see a picture with it in it … catch my drift

@CTrujilloMD The Sun…

@zone_astronomy The camera

What changed? Apollo 17 1972 vs Artemis II 2026?

@Doctors_GUILD Wpw delta wave

Diagnosis? A) AV block B) WPW syndrome C) SVT D) AF

@tom_peters Dude seriously 😐

I just watched One Battle After Another. I’ve probably been going to movies for 75 years, and it was clearly the worst movie I have ever seen. I cannot find any saving grace whatsoever. (A better title “a bunch of people mindlessly being the shit out of each other over and over.”)

@MarchMadnessMBB That’s clearly a foul lol

This angle of the steal is CRAZY 🤯 #MarchMadness

@William5849 Yup

Dear Europe: if Iran is not your problem, Ukraine is not America’s 🇺🇸

Amén

@AriFleischer Let them find out . Lack of support while we protect them is insanity. Pull out now and see how they crumble .

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@DrJStrategy Yes 👏

Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

🚨JUST IN: Trump’s new budget sets aside $175M for NASA to build a moon base. Crazy how that’s cheaper than the high speed rail in California.

Even in darkness, we glow. In this image of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew, we can see the electric lights of human activity. In the lower right, sunlight illuminates the limb of the planet.

@EricSpracklen Yea we kind of know this lol

Painfully fake.

“Your honor, my client is American because he committed his crimes in America”

Such a king we got this dumb shit deciding decisions… smh 🤦‍♀️

Goddam 🤣🤣🤣😂
