#Politics From #AlJazeera:
Those Arab-Americans who voted for #Trump to "teach Kamala a lesson" are about to find out how stupid they are. Hey, we warned them.
Courtesy of Mike's Weather Page on Facebook ... Probably #Sara. Timing for Florida is Tuesday-Wednesday next week.
George Whitesides was one of the NewSpace voices during the #Obama administration. He defeated a Republican incumbent.

#CoSo remains my Number 1 social media, but I just created an account on Blue Sky with the same handle to see what the fuss is about.
From #LATimes:
“#LAPD will not assist with mass deportations. Los Angeles is a city of immigrants, and I know that immigrants are being disparaged right now,” McDonnell told the council, striking a more decisive tone than he did in answering some of the same questions at a previous committee hearing. “My job is to protect everyone in Los Angeles and to build trust, and that’s what I plan to do.”

At the grocery store today, someone was driving a beat-up pickup truck with a giant oversized #Trump flag. It read:
TRUMP
2024
NO MORE BULLSHIT
Classy as ever.
The person driving that truck has no clue what awaits him.
#SpaceCoast This morning on the fake lake ... The young alligator has come and gone over recent weeks. I hadn't seen him for several days, thought he'd moved on, but he's back.
The young anhinga has been molting. At first, I thought he'd been injured in the hurricane, but it's a natural occurrence. His new feathers are growing in just fine; I suspect he'll move on once he can fly again.
Grieving the loss of Tony Todd, who never got the recognition I felt he deserved as one of the best actors of our time.
#StarTrek Actor Tony Todd passes at age 69. He had multiple roles in various Trek incarnations, also appeared in "The Orville."

A general observation ... There sure seems to be a lot of sniping going on here in the last few days since the election. People are taking out their frustrations on other CoSo members who are not to blame.
I've already put one person on mute. Please think twice before you fire all your missiles at your fellow Cosonaut. We are not the enemy.
The National Science Foundation and the University of Central #Florida released today a final report on the collapse of the Arecibo Telescope in 2020.
"... [T]he root cause of the Arecibo Telescope's collapse was unprecedented and accelerated long-term zinc creep induced failure of the telescope's cable spelter sockets."
How loyal will Republican politicians be to the #Trump #MAGA agenda versus protecting the pork in their districts and states?
Will Rick Scott (R-FL), a potential Senate Majority Leader, dismantle #KSC to pass a destructive Trump agenda?
The potential for needed reform is there, but MAGA sees "reform" as blowing up government without any thought to the consequences.
A President Vance/Elon Musk team will have more of a clue than Trump/Musk, but I'm not sure that's good. (6/6)
