F1 narrowly avoided an unspeakable disaster at @COTA last weekend when the camera helicopter was (audibly) struck by fireworks as it hovered over the track. A full investigation is necessary and corrective actions MUST be taken. 📸: combat_learjet | Katelyn Nassar #USGP 🇺🇲 #F1

I used a modified telescope to capture high-speed video of the eclipse at a long focal length. Seeing the lumpy mountains of the moon against a backdrop of churning plasma is incredibly surreal. (I hope you weren't sick of eclipse posts 😜)

These are essential protections that the companies told us, to our faces, that they would NEVER give us. But because of our solidarity, because they literally cannot make a dollar without us, they bent, then broke, and gave us what we deserve. WE WON.

The scene is now clear, but @Austin_Police confirmed earlier this afternoon there was a stabbing at Barton Creek Square. The single victim was taken to the hospital, but their injuries are non-life threatening. A suspect has been arrested. @cbsaustin

This from a man who earns $27M annually, not including bonuses (which almost double that figure) and stock options. The lack of self awareness in this business never ceases to amaze me.

Coming Attractions: next week, the High Pressure Ridge of Death will be centered exactly over ... us, according to the European model which is usually right more than the others. What does that mean? High temps 105-107 degrees quite possible.
