From @candicebernd.bsky.social in our magazine: A Texas Observer analysis found since 2021, at least 60 cryptomines have been developed or are under construction in at least 33 counties statewide. Experts worry our grid, and water supply, can't handle the load.

That's the end of Milky Way Season 2025 for this guy.
Earlier tonight somewhere in California.
2x sky shots and a couple foregrounds merged.
Rough ending, but a glorious season. By far my best.
2026 we're planning the early season much tighter.
We're coming for your panoramas, galaxy.

Some people watch scary movies to help process the horrors of modern life. I recreate them in Animal Crossing.

I’ve been developing something called the Human-Made License, a Creative Commons–style way to certify that creative work was made without genAI.
I’m looking for feedback from artists, designers, and writers before the public launch. DM me if you’d like to take a look at the first draft.

I post this every year but now that holiday ads are out I’ll say it again: teenagers are often forgotten in Toys For Tots drives. These hygiene and beauty kits go on sale every holiday and make fantastic donations to toy drives. Sports equipment is great too!

Mackey, the mascot of Matsubara City in Osaka, is a girl born to a pine tree fairy and a rose fairy. She has a kind and cheerful disposition, but as a rose, she also has a thorny side.

BREAKING: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issues an administrative stay in the SNAP benefits case, for the First Circuit to issue its ruling on the stay request (“with dispatch”).
Her administrative stay ends 48 hours after that ruling is issued (or upon further order).
Her administrative stay ends 48 hours after that ruling is issued (or upon further order).
![ORDER
The applicants are seeking a stay of two orders of the United States
District Court for the District of Rhode Island, case No. 1:25-cv-569. See D.
Ct. Minute Entry (Oct. 31, 2025) and Docket Number 34 (Nov. 6, 2025).
These orders require the applicants to fully fund benefits for the
Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program ("SNAP") for the month of
November, and to distribute that funding by the end of the day on November 7, 2025 (today).
Earlier today, the applicants asked the United States Court of Appeals
for the First Circuit to stay the District Court's orders pending appeal, and to
issue an administrative stay to facilitate its consideration of that stay motion.
At 6:08 p.m., the First Circuit denied the applicants' request for an
administrative stay, but stated that it "intend[s] to issue a decision on [the
stay pending appeal] motion as quickly as possible." Rhode Island State
Council of Churches v. Rollins, No. 25-2089 (CA1 Nov. 7, 2025).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreibyydayzagrotqzm753km6mib7xxccml3zlxpnonrwd2i6ootfla4@jpeg)
