The contribution limit for an individual is $3,500. Elon Musk, a government contractor, is trying to purchase Congress. Billionaires are smothering our elections for their personal gain. Get big money out of politics.

A crazy two days chasing storms around AZ. Got onto quite a few good setups that never produced tornadoes. This was the best one for sure and wasn't warned. Shot this afternoon close to Bylas AZ with strong rotation. Probably the craziest supercell I've been close to. #azwx #photography #storms

If you ever wondered what hurricanes likely looked like during the late cretaceous hothouse, this is probably pretty close. Super Typhoon Champi, 185mph sustained winds, 220+mph gusts. Let's keep pumping more carbon out.

Completely customized GPU powered synthetic tracking pipeline from scratch using Claude. Truly unprecedented times in software development. Anyone can sit down with an idea and end up with a usable production ready prototype in hours.

Some feathery friends. Pygmy Nuthatch and Clark's Nutcracker. Clark's is a rare bird for this region - might be an irruption year for them. #birds #birding #wildlife #photography #arizona 📷🪶

Very nice bolide/fireball north of Tucson AZ a few minutes ago. Be surprised if fragments of this one didn't reach the ground. #astronomy #meteor #fireball #bolide #tucson #arizona 🔭🧪
