Here’s a really cool-looking cathedral down beside the river in downtown Saskatoon.

Good morning. Trees in Lacombe Alberta Canada are looking good with a little bit of new snow on them this morning.

I’m most at home exploring rocky crags in Northwest Nevada, and Canyon Wren are a favorite bird to find. They live their lives hanging off the sides of cliffs…and this one’s prized slot canyon territory has the most incredible lichen. #birds

Purple volcanic rock on the left covered in lichen of green, orange, and sage. A hazy blur of tans and olive background behind a white throated bird, dappled white patterns atop a brown head. Long slender beak perfect for pulling insects out of the tiniest crack in the stone. Belly of golden fire matching the oranges of the lichen. It stares to the right intently, perched moments from flying yet again.

#AuroraBorealis put on a great show here at Wilkie Saskatchewan Canada tonight!

(And for once I got the timing right, being right on site taking photos during the most intense part of the display this time, hooray!)

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago.

He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.”

“How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me.

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are arrested based on ‘how they look’

Immigration agents wearing tactical gear and carrying long guns made arrests in downtown Chicago and the River North neighborhood Sunday. “This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidatio...

As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.

spreading lies about immigrants voting, and openly mainstreaming terrorist propaganda. This isn’t just another unhinged rant, it’s dangerous. A president is feeding white supremacist violence and calling it truth. He’s not hiding it. And if we don’t call it out, more people will get hurt.

What the actual fuck is Trump even talking about? He just went on Truth Social to declare the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy is “no longer a theory.” This is the same extremist garbage that inspired the Buffalo and El Paso mass shootings. He’s recycling message-board rants like their policy,

Here’s 3 more pics of the amazing sunrise here at Wilkie SK Canada, August 30!

We had a smoke-assisted #sunset tonight, after what likely was our final 30° day of the summer. Before today, we had been nicely free of #smokehaze for approximately 3 weeks!

Cyclops coronal hole now facing Earth. We may see minor geomagnetic storming in the next few days along with fast solar wind. Combine that with some rowdy active regions rotating on the east limb, and we may have an exciting week of space weather coming up!

Here’s a video I shot while we flew over the confluence where the Pine River joins the larger #PeaceRiver, filmed yesterday at 1:10PM. This was very shortly after taking off from Fort St John.

I was very pleased with what I found at Big Kinfe #ProvincialPark, in Alberta’s Battle River Valley, SW of Forestburg AB. The footage is from yesterday at 6:45PM.

PIERRE POILIEVRE spent $54,000 taxpayer dollars - for his BIRTHDAY PARTY. The never had a real job career politician spent as much, if not more, on a BIRTHDAY PARTY - than the 'common working people' he pretends that he represents even make in a year.

Here’s the South end of the Admiral #mesocyclone yesterday, at 3:50PM. Rear-flank downdraft winds run along the front bottom side of that rim-cloud, from left to right. There was a lot of visible rotation in the clouds 5 minutes after this!
