Vermonters! Here is a very informative (if heartbreaking) article from @rollingstone.com outlining how the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill is already causing great pain in Vermont, and it’s getting worse. This is a clear, detailed review of the human-scale effects.
How the Big Beautiful Bill Could Devastate Vermont:

“We are going to face a hunger and health crisis and a tragedy on an unprecedented scale.”

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️
The clouds are against me for a few nights, stay tuned as we get closer to full moon!
@timothysnyder.bsky.social ‘s On Freedom has just arrived! Get one for yourself and extras to give to friends. From your local and INDEPENDENT bookseller, of course.

Do it before the admin flails at banning it and settles for burning it.
Perhaps you’re growing a bit tired of my moon shots. That’s ok. 😆

But for the rest of us, here’s celebrating another beautifully crisp October evening in southern Vermont, with the waxing moon to carry us through calm heavens into a soft autumn night.

Another crisp autumn evening here in Vermont, with a delicate crescent moon lazing softly into the west.

This could also be solved with just one more Republican signing on.
Very helpful-thank you!
Putin must be delighted to know the POTUS is texting on the side during this call.
I really miss this guy. We had a president once who was smart and intuitive and clear-headed.
OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.
I get the sentiment, but this data is not valuable unless it accounts for household income. Rich folks more likely to see what they ‘expect’ at the store.
The continuing message from the GOP: dissent against the President is terrorism.

This is textbook-level cult behavior.

See you in public, peaceful protest on the 18th!
Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."
Ian nice shot. Yes the era of the digital scopes is a wonder to behold!!
Paul Cooper - I have been a big fan for years. What’s the best way to help out the show? Can we send donations? (The book was also wonderful BTW)

Not too bad here in Vermont this evening.
And there she is, resplendent in her fullness. The early October skies have been kind here in southern Vermont. Tomorrow night will be much needed rain, then seasonally cool. Splendid!

Just another brilliantly clear evening here in southern Vermont. With it being so near to full, it’s about the only thing that’s observable this evening besides the bright stars. DSOs will have to wait a week.

A good night for #astrophotography here in #Vermont. Lovely and crisp beginning to Autumn. I hope you all have clear skies tonight!
