A tranquil and inviting forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a woodland trail in late autumn or early spring. The perspective is from behind a hiker, who is looking ahead at a winding trail that disappears into the distance. The hiker is wearing a pink headband and a green backpack, suggesting readiness for an outdoor adventure. The trail is flanked by trees, their branches mostly bare but adorned with a few lingering brown leaves, adding a touch of seasonal transi…

NASA began a two-day practice countdown Saturday
leading up to the fueling of its new moon rocket,
a crucial test that will determine when four astronauts blast off on a lunar flyby.
Already in quarantine to avoid germs,
Commander Reid Wiseman and his crew will be the first people to launch to the moon since 1972.
They will monitor the dress rehearsal from their Houston base before flying to Kennedy Space Center once the rocket is cleared for flight.

#CarlHeastie continues to be awful, but NYers maybe want to give his office a call to tell him to stop blocking the Stop Super Speeders bill. His office # is 518-455-3791, I just called and someone answered right away.
#StopSuperSpeeders

Here’s what you say: I am a New Yorker, and I want Speaker Heastie to include the Governor’s proposal for the Stop Super Speeders bill in this budget.   Speaker Heastie is feeling the pressure. New Yorkers are calling his office nonstop. Members of Families for Safe Streets are following him around Albany. And this morning, The New York Times published a massive story on our fight to Stop Super Speeders and the rumor that Heastie’s holding up the bill. Before you click away to read it…
"It's all Carl," one of the sources said. Another source added, "Assembly staff aren't always huge street safety champions. They're worried about doing a policy like this based on camera tickets, not moving violations. But 16 tickets is a really high threshold." Indeed, data from the New York City Department of Transportation shows that drivers who get 16 or more speeding tickets per year are several times as likely to be involved in a serious crash. There are too many examples in the recent…
A reporter reminded Heastie that last year, his concern with the bill was about "due process." "Having a concern doesn't mean you don't support things," Heastie replied. "I don't support people speeding, but we really haven't talked about it too much." But one of our sources said that the idea that the Super Speeders bill hasn't been discussed isn't true: "Senior staff from all three parties in the budget have negotiated this item at length."

Still as cis as ever, but I thought I'd show my support by posting an interesting transition metal compound from my lab inventory.
Here's a solution of tantalum chloride in ethanol/methanol, intended for sol-gel deposition of tantalum pentoxide thin films. You spin coat it on a substrate then heat in air; the chlorine swaps with an oxygen in atmospheric water vapor and you get HCl gas evaporating and Ta2O5 on the surface.

Ok, Big Oil is now a National Security Matter™. Unlike biodiversity or climate change.
Because oil from the Middle East is not currently flowing as well as it should.
And I'm pretty sure Trump blames Iran for that.

From Ukraine: Considering the politics of American citizens.
Those who didn't vote at all are the most despicable and unforgivable.

By not voting against Trump, they silently supported him.
When fascism and cruelty are on the ballot, voting is a moral obligation.
All of the deaths coming from Trump's cruelty, all of the blood flowing today and going forward- is blood on their hands.
People who "don't do politics" let the whole world d…
