River of Sand
Viewed through HiRISE infrared color, the basaltic sand lining the fissures’ floor stands out as deep blue against the light-toned dust covering the region. This gives the viewer an impression of a river cutting through the Martian plains.

Spotted this on the birdsite. A few years old, but very cool rendition of the super-continent Pangaea with modern political boundaries

Can only afford nosebleed seats for regular Warriors games, but got to enjoy great ones for the G League Santa Cruz Warriors yesterday. Caught 2-way player Damion Lee (26 points that game) hitting a 3 in this pic

Snow on the Luxor tower in Las Vegas! First measurable snow accumulations since record keeping started.
Sounds like a fascinating book! Headline from the Vox review: "This writer spent 4 years working as a fake violinist. Her memoir explains post-9/11 America." https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/2/19/18229720/sounds-like-titanic-review-jessica-chiccehitto-hindman
@voltronic @Render A class action is probably being filed as we speak
@Render Effing unbelievable
Of course, I put the wrong link in my first toot! Here is the recent one: https://cosmosmagazine.com/climate/the-most-villainous-act-in-the-history-of-human-civilisation-tyler-prize-winner-michael-e-mann-speaks-out
Very interesting statements by climate scientist Michael Mann linking the anti-climate propaganda campaign of "Climategate" in 2009 to the same malevolent actors behind more recent misinformation campaigns: Wikileaks, Saudi Arabia, Russia, etc. This has been going on for *long* before Trump: https://www.nature.com/collections/synrzkgmlf
All right...the NBA All-Star Game is always kind of underwhelming, but I've been working all day and need to veg out, so it will do the trick
Wow, those screenshots of the troll's instance hurt my eyes...sooooo many shades of purple

@th3j35t3r At some point soon, as his cognitive decline accelerates, he's just going to tweet, "WAAAAALLLL!" every 2 minutes, like a broken bot

Mark my words: Shitler is only agreeing to reopen the government so he can do his MAGA hate rally disguised as the SOTU.
It's masterful that Nancy Pelosi held her caucus together and refused to be intimidated or bullied by him and his enablers. She knows she has public opinion on her side, and she knows that she has all the leverage.
Nancy Pelosi is one woman Trump can't abuse and control, and it makes him crazy.
@th3j35t3r HAHAHAHAHA...Streep should join DeNiro for the most epic SNL opening ever
@stayUNSILENCED Positive change takes time. But using your voice has helped bring it closer!
