To be more accurate, they don't support him or even care who he is. They are simply afraid that people who do things they don't like are going to be allowed to do them, and that people who aren't like them are going to be allowed to be different, and that cannot stand. You could put a red-assed baboon in the Republican spot on a Texas ballot, and it will get 45% of the vote.

This reply is an image, because for some stupid reason you have more space in alt text than to actually make a response.

A text chain reading:

"Hi, it's James, a Ken Paxton supporter. James Talarico backed transgender policies Ken Paxton opposes. Can we chat? Stop2End"

Ken Paxton is an amoral monster who is going to burn in hell. Sounds like you may join him.

The receiver then blocked the sender.

I did a thing. 🤣👾

Last night's attempt at the Whirlpool Galaxy. Recently revamped the RA drive on the scope, hoping to stabilize it. Still possibly need some collimation tweaking, and may need realignment of the corrector plate. Focus is not as crisp as I would like! #astrophotography #m51a

While the SCT is down, figured I would drag this baby out and see what it needs. #astronomy

Truth in astrophotography! #astrophotography #humor #diva #Moon

A conversation: "I made what I think is excellent progress on the mechanics of the scope last night. Which left me with no time to do anything except shoot the moon. Plus the moon is such a diva that it's really the only thing you can shoot while it's making an appearance."
The response: an image of a man gesturing with his hands around his face, captioned "look at me!"

Spent the evening working on the mechanics of the 'scope, so I just finished up with a little lunar imaging. I think it went well! 🌚 Best 181 of 200 .020 second subs.

Urgh. Tonight was just an utter mess. But this is pretty, if wildly inaccurate. 🤣 #astrophotography

An image of a nebula that I can't remember the number of at this time. In this image it is purple and contains a lot of stars, and it is not Orion. 😏

Ok, so I broke my astro CCD, and had to resort to using the DSLR, again. So I pointed it at Orion, of course. Processing in Siril and Photoshop #astrophotography #orion

I have more data to apply to this, but this isn't that bad for random cloudiness, Moon interference, and persistent RA wobble on this antique scope! Have a little Orion Nebula before bed! #astrophotography #sct #orion #ekos

Perhaps the only thing to like about Texas: frequently stunning sunsets

I found some of the Epstein files lying around on my phone; thought I would share! #epstein #jailBondi #corruptAF

Captured a little bit of Jupiter last night, after some fine polar alignment tuning and attempted collimation tweaks.I feel like my collimation is still a little wonky, and the skies in Texas are not really friendly for star testing. I'm not entirely displeased, though! #astrophotography #Jupiter

OMG this is actually happening!

What the fresh fuck is this?

I believe this is my best ever, taken on a whim last night after trying to determine the correct rotation for the corrector plate on my SCT (as I'm now pretty sure it was not correctly positioned when I got it from some random guy 15 years ago).

First time imaging Andromeda! Still learning how to process! #astrophotography #andromeda #nosleep

Dan F@einzelhaft· Nov 13

Not deliberately. It's just what happens with lower quality scans. It's not usually controversial.

Playing with the DSLR again! #astrophotography #alnitak #nebulae

It's National Black Cat Day, and so I present to you the majestic Booboo! Seen here in his native habitat.

First light on the new planetary camera tonight. Not a bad result for point, click, stack, save! #astrophotography #telescope #saturm
