Happy National Park Week! (h/t to @bryanhansel
It's hard for me to choose one favorite National Park. Here's one from Mt. Rainier NP

Do YOU (yes you!) have a favorite National Park, be it US, CAnadian, British or something else?

"This is not subjective. We all saw it. Plenty of leaders today try to convince the masses we did not see what we saw, but our eyes don’t deceive. (If leaders began a yearslong campaign today to convince us that the Baltimore bridge did not collapse Tuesday morning, would you ever believe them?) Trust your eyes. Trump on Jan. 6 launched the most serious threat to our system of government since the Civil War. You know that. You saw it." https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/03/our-trump-reporting-upsets-some-readers-but-there-arent-two-sides-to-facts-letter-from-the-editor.html

Great piece from @bryanhansel on unread books:

> Unread books are a way to know that we don’t know. It’s being humble. I believe there’s a saying that’s something like this: the more you know, the less you know you know.

Fun fact: In old English law, attempting to overthrow the government was considered high treason, a capital crime punishable by being drawn and quartered or beheaded. But in America, we do things slightly differently - instead, we offer traitors guest spots on MSNBC and greased pathways back to the White House to see if they can do high treason better next time.

I wrote an essay already about how sad I am that my love of rocket launches has been totally destroyed by SpaceX. https://theconversation.com/an-astronomers-lament-satellite-megaconstellations-are-ruining-space-exploration-215653

I can't get excited that they were successful today, I just can't.

Watch this satellite obliterate the Kuiper Belt object moving through this set of images.

The dumb satellite is so bright that our auto-detect software threw out the whole stack, because it destroyed the average brightness.

It pisses me off to no end that my taxpayer-funded telescope time is now less and less effective because of one for-profit private company.

(P.S. software dudes: please don't try to mansplain workarounds, believe me, a LOT of astronomers are working hard on this)

A gif of a Kuiper Belt object slowly moving across a set of images. It just looks like a fuzzy dot. Toward the end of the sequence, there's a super bright diagonal line that covers up the moving dot - that was a satellite.

So, Substack… I was really disappointed and annoyed by the company’s response to the racist, hateful content on the site. As an author on the platform, I now have some thinking to do. But please can folks not put pressure on indie writers to immediately quit; most of us are just trying to get our work out there in a tough market, we have put a lot of time/effort into the platform, and maybe trying to earn a bit of money if we are lucky. This really sucks. But as I say, I will ponder my options.

Biden campaign on 's 'poisoning the blood of our country' remarks:

“Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy. Trump is not shying away from his plan to lock up millions of people into detention camps and continues to lie about that time when Joe Biden obliterated him by over 7 million votes three years ago."
