This is not a simulation. It's actual footage captured by NASA's Curiosity rover on October 25, 2017 (Sol 1856), while climbing the slopes of Mount Sharp inside Gale Crater. The reddish, rugged landscape and that hazy, dusty atmosphere are exactly what Curiosity sees every day. This rover has been exploring Mars for over 13 years now.

No, seriously, you can't trust screenshots anymore

A call for help came in this morning after a paraglider crashed in the mountains above Minden. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office requested mutual aid assistance from our Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue (WCSAR) team and RAVEN. Our RAVEN helicopter team, along with three WCSAR hoist technicians, responded and located the injured patient, who sustained serious injuries. The patient was successfully hoisted from the mountainside and transferred to a waiting Battle Born medevac helicopter for transport to a local hospital. “I’m extremely proud of today’s rescue response and the efforts of our WCSAR and RAVEN teams,” said Sheriff Darin Balaam. “Their passion and tremendous skill allow them to rise to any occasion and answer the call to serve when our community and surrounding partners need it most. This was a great example of coordination between everyone involved, and I wish a speedy recovery to the individual injured in today’s crash.” This rescue was made possible through coordinated efforts with our partners at Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, East Fork Fire Protection District, and the Battle Born medevac crew.

SLS vs. Saturn V, a real time comparison. Saw a comparison yesterday using my video on the left at 50% speed. Here's a proper comparison with both rockets launching at their real speeds. You'll notice SLS is significantly faster off the pad because of the dual massive SRBs!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be at Super Snack Busy.

Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!

Jesus rose from the dead and the first person He went to was His brother who thought He was crazy. Not Peter. Not John. Not the twelve. James. His kid brother. The one who grew up sharing a room with God and didn’t know it. Think about James for a second. His older brother is Jesus. Not “Jesus the Christ.” Not “Jesus the Savior.” Jesus the guy who worked in the carpenter shop and came home smelling like sawdust and sweat. Jesus who snored. Jesus who ate too fast. Jesus who their mother treated different and James never understood why. Because Mary kept her mouth shut. Luke 2:19. She kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Angels showed up at His birth. Shepherds fell on their faces. Wise men brought gold. And Mary told nobody. She just watched her firstborn grow up in a ghetto in Nazareth and kept the secret in her chest like a coal she couldn’t put down. James didn’t know his brother was God. He knew his brother was weird. He knew his mother looked at Jesus different. He knew Joseph moved the whole family to Egypt when they were little and never fully explained why. He knew that one time his parents lost Jesus at the temple and found Him three days later arguing with rabbis like He owned the place. Twelve years old. Already gone. Then Jesus grew up. Worked the shop. Paid the bills. Because Joseph died — the Bible doesn’t say when but Joseph disappears from the story — and in Jewish custom the eldest son takes over. So Jesus wasn’t posing for paintings in that carpenter shop. He was feeding His family. Putting bread on the table for His mom and His brothers and sisters in a town so poor Nathanael said “can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Then one day He left. Walked away from the shop. Walked away from the family. Left James holding the hammer and the bills and the responsibility for a widowed mother. James was pissed. Mark 3:21. His own family went to collect Him because they said He was out of His mind. That’s James. That’s the brothers. Showing up to bring the crazy one home before He embarrasses the family worse. John 7:5. His brethren did not believe in Him. His own blood. Ate dinner with Him for thirty years. Didn’t believe. Then Wednesday happened. The brother James thought was insane got arrested at night by temple guards. Got beaten until His face swelled shut. Got whipped until His back looked like raw meat. Got nailed to wood and hung up on a garbage hill outside the city. And James had to stand somewhere — maybe in the crowd, maybe at home, maybe hearing it secondhand — and process the fact that the brother he called crazy just died like a criminal. Three days and nights of silence. Three days of James sitting with the guilt of every eye roll. Every argument. Every time he told people “I don’t know what’s wrong with Him.” Every time he showed up to drag Jesus home because He was embarrassing the family name. Then Sunday morning. Jesus rose. Conquered death. Walked out of the tomb. And He went to James. 1 Corinthians 15:7. He appeared to James. Not in a crowd. Not at a distance. He went to His brother. The one who didn’t believe. The one who thought He was crazy. The one who was pissed that He left the family behind. He showed up and let James see the holes in His hands. Matthew 28:10. Go tell my brethren. Not my servants. Not my followers. My brethren. John 20:17. My Father and your Father. My God and your God. He rose to the highest position in the universe and His vocabulary didn’t change. Most men get a promotion and stop returning phone calls. Jesus conquered death and called the brother who doubted Him family. James went from “He’s out of His mind” to leading the church in Jerusalem. James went from trying to drag Jesus home to writing a book of the Bible. James went from skeptic to martyr. They threw him off the temple wall and when he survived the fall they beat him to death with a club. He died for the brother he once thought was insane. That’s what happened when Jesus showed up after the resurrection and said brother. One word changed everything. He’s not calling you servant today. He’s not calling you subject. He’s calling you what He called James. Brother. The same James who didn’t believe. Who rolled his eyes. Who showed up to take Him home. Who sat in the dark for three days choking on regret. He went to THAT guy first. If He went to James, He’ll come to you.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

Nice weekend in Yosemite.

This dog led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. This is Eeyore. He was on a walk with his 86-year-old grandma when she fell. After they didn't return home for an hour, his grandpa frantically called the police to report them missing. A deputy from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office responded to the call, but barely got out of her vehicle before Eeyore found her. He led the deputy straight to his grandma, who explained that the pup had been looking for help while regularly returning to check on her. She made sure to tell Eeyore what a good boy he is, adding "Grandma loves you." We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10

@ChrisHohnholz I'm the mainstream media. I don't hate you.

The mainstream media literally hates you. That they cannot even call this what it is, to suggest it was a reckless supporter that shot him by accident, is unconscionable.

One of the dumbest things I see online is people getting mad at interviewers for interviewing people. 90% of the time, it's people who didn't listen anyway. "Noooo, you can't talk to that person. They once said something I disagree with. I'm so disappointed in you." Grow up.

This Seiko Turtle has become my everyday driver, for many reasons. The automatic movement is something I always prefer, but what I really love is the unique design of the protruding turtle shaped case. The rubber strap has two expansion folds on either end to make for the perfect fit on your wrist, and their LumiBrite illumination is by far the best in the industry. For me, I always prefer a watch with not just a date, but a day display as well because I never know what day of the week it is. Apart from the fact that I wish this glass was Sapphire instead of mineral (which I should mod) there isn't anything else I'd change. What about your daily drivers? What is it that you look for in a watch that makes it your go-to?

@thewardoll @seikowatches

What's everyone wearing on their wrist? The watch bug bit me, and now I have a Seiko problem.
