I like to go fast. Moved to Boston in 1976 to attend MIT. Decided this was home. The Cradle of Liberty. Retired software engineer. Some of my software flew on the Space Shuttle. Motorcyclist, photographer, hacker, reader of all kinds of things.

Trump in Mississippi: "I'm here because Cindy is doing great" (He's there because Cindy is not doing great)

This is a great example of what I said a week ago: if you don’t learn some history, even if you don’t directly need it for your job, you will sound like a moron

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Week One: The Wizard

JBGarrity Photography@joegarrity.bsky.social

For the "spooky season," I'll feature a Hallowtober deep-space object each week. Week one: the Wizard Nebula, a medieval sorcerer wearing a pointy hat and cloak. Younger astronomers often call it the Harry Potter Nebula. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

Week Two: Casper the Friendly Ghost

For the spooky season, I'll feature a Hallowtober deep-space object each week. Week two: Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula. Its nebulosity consists of blue reflection (eyes), dark dust (face/shading), and red Hα emission. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

Week Three: The Boogeyman

JBGarrity Photography@joegarrity.bsky.social

For the spooky season, I'll feature a Hallowtober deep-space object each week. Week three: the Boogeyman Nebula; its glowing eyes (reflection) and silhouetted body (dark dust) backlit by glowing red Hα emission. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #eck #photography

The bright blue star Navi illuminates its foreground gases, creating a ghostly haze. Its blue reflection blends with the red Hα gas, suffusing the scene with magenta and washing out the ghostly figure's reddish hue in The Ghost of Cassiopeia. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #eck #photography

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.
