Hey, #astrophotography people On Here[tm]: Are any of you planning to attend the upcoming Northeast Astro-Imaging Conference (NEAIC) and/or Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF)? I’m going to both, and would love to say “Hi!”

Can someone explain to me why we’re in this war? I’ve yet to receive any kind of explanation as to the why.

@StaceyVaughn @cmclymer No, she’s making reasonable inferences based on what you’ve said. If those inferences don’t match your actual thinking, you’re free to say so, and explain; there’s really no reason to get pissy about it.

Again, respectfully, we are strangers and you are making claims about how I am thinking (without asking) and saying I’m angry (without knowing). The in-fighting and finger pointing isn’t helpful in my opinion. All forms of resistance to this are needed now more than ever. Let us all work together on this.

Demanding more from our elected officials doesn’t mean we don’t understand the rules around the 25th, impeachment, etc…
Stacey Vaughn@StaceyVaughn

@cmclymer Respectfully, I think this misses the mark. We can demand more from our elected Democrats while understanding how all this works. We can hold them accountable for all they have / haven’t done leading up to this moment and for how they choose to proceed and respond.

@LloydLegalist @RealOxfordComma Depends on what style guide you’re following: Many, including the inhouse guide I worked to throughout my 36-year editing career, call for NOT hyphenating prefixes in most cases. If I edited it, it would be “nonhyphenated” (or, preferably, “unhyphenated”). If …1/

Hyphenated. Non-hyphenated. The irony.

@cmclymer I only got to see the last 12 or so minutes (Town Council budget meeting ran late), but I was proud of UConn for staying in it to the end. After watching Michigan dismantle Arizona, I was worried we’d get blowed out!

@patricklmead @RachelBitecofer @MaRy_JaNe1209 Reminds me of my personal rule about car horns: No matter who you *think* you’re honking at, you’re never not honking at the car right in front of you. Similarly, “do you not understand that…” never doesn’t sound like you’re arguing with the person you’re directly replying to.

@RachelBitecofer @MaRy_JaNe1209 Obviously we can't impeach and we've never had the votes to convict. Do you not understand how government works or are you just another grifter?

@mart10mag @ThatEricAlper Yes, it rotates once a month. Which means that over a month, the so-called “dark” side gets the same amount of sunlight as the near side. The funny thing is, “far side of the Moon” would work perfectly well in the lyrics!

@ThatEricAlper Yes. I’m old enough that my dad had me ride my bike to the local 7-11 to buy his cigs when I was (IIRC) 10… and they sold them to me without question.

Four humans are in space right now. Farther from Earth than anyone has been since 1972. First crewed lunar flyby in over half a century. Here are 10 songs about the Moon to play while they make history. zurl.co/se8jX

Bondi was awful, but no worse than Patel. Noem was terrible, but no worse than Hegseth. Funny that it’s only the women who get fired.

@emrazz I’m convinced Trump hired those two bc they’re hot women, and then fired them bc they’re… *women*. It’s misogyny all the way down…. <sigh>

How incredibly predictable that Bondi and Noem made absolute bafoons of themselves on behalf of Trump, only to learn that there’s no amount of cruelty toward others that could buy them safety in a room full of misogynists.

@MathewDav1d @KeithGross @HMardenborough @POTUS BTW, I’m not going to respond point-by-point (or at all, after this), but this… “But when he was 18, the USG gave him full Jurisdiction and he himself was permanent domicile.” …is just incomprehensible word salad, quite aside from any evaluation of whatever point you’re making.

@dauphinb @KeithGross @HMardenborough @POTUS But when he was 18, the USG gave him full Jurisdiction and he himself was permanent domicile. And these are the requirements for Citizenship. Thus he became one at 25 officially. However, the language in the court case created an error and that will fixed.

As everyone is focused on the SCOTUS hearing on @POTUS Executive Order ending Birthright Citizenship, I can’t help but wonder: Why hasn’t Congress passed a LAW ending birthright citizenship? We have a majority.

@MathewDav1d @KeithGross @HMardenborough @POTUS …I grok that MAGA white nationalists promote a self-serving made-up version of what jurisdiction means, but that’s not what dictionaries say, nor what courts have held, nor how rational people (including the drafters of the 14A) have historically understood the word. 3/3

@MathewDav1d @KeithGross @HMardenborough @POTUS …to whom the U.S. can “APPLY THE LAW” is subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S.! It’s not about what government the person is loyal to; it’s about which government’s law applies… and within U.S. territory, U.S. law — JURISDICTION — applies. …2/
