There’s a pretty #sunrise out there, #NewMexico. Three different views this morning, as there were multiple interesting clouds.
A tight zoom on the wispy clouds between layers.
A 16:9 crop, removing the dark foreground. Clouds, contrail, and power line are all present.
A square crop showing multiple clouds, a lone jet contrail, and the power line. Foreground is black.

60+ people showed up at 8 am to reinforce UA-UNM (faculty/teachers union) as they go back into bargaining talks with administration negotiators
Right now, part-time adjunct faculty only make the equivalent of $39K/year, and UNM management is pushing to limit basic workplace rights incl. giving management the power to discipline people for free speech outside the classroom and full control over class loads

In #NewMexico 55,000 people will be subjected to punitive snap work requirements when all the evidence shows that getting people fed is what leads them to be able to obtain and keep work. https://sourcenm.com/2025/12/17/more-than-55000-new-mexicans-face-work-requirements-for-food-benefits-starting-jan-1/

Lost in Space.
A wide field view of the autumn Milky Way from the tail end of Cygnus on the left, to Perseus on the right.
With so many stars captured in this photo, it's hard to see familiar constellations. But you can see the Andromeda galaxy as a small oval near the upper edge of the frame. (Dark, indistinct silhouettes along the lower left edge of the frame are the shadows of a couple trees.)
The second graphic is a sky simulation from planetarium software. The red wire frame box shows the coverage of the photo in the context of a very large portion of the sky.

A night sky full of stars. The autumn Milky Way runs horizontally through it. It's brighter in the left half of the frame. Dark dust clouds add texture and detail to the Milky Way.

No aurora tonight (8PM Mountain Standard Time) at 33N latitude, but reddish airglow was obvious to the north. Over time it drifted very slowly and became less obvious.
https://www.aurorasaurus.org/ was not reporting any aurora sightings at the same time...not even in Canada.
No significant aurora reports at the time the photo was taken.

A few weeks ago I heard #NewMexico state attorney general Raul Torrez make a similar argument, using virtually the same phrase as Gallego. Torrez was arguing that Democrats, rank and file as well as electeds, must prioritize Hispanic and white working class men rather than “all those other groups.” 2/
Catching up on Ruben Gallego’s most-recently publicized misogynist, anti-trans texts and, more importantly, his own characterization of them. https://arizonadailyindependent.com/2025/11/29/senator-gallegos-anti-trans-messages-leaked/
Gallego casts his blatant bigotry and hatred as as being in service to an inclusive, “big tent” vision of the Democratic Party.
A disingenuous and pragmatically unpromising approach. 1/
