I'm not quitting Twitter (I refuse to call it X) ... yet... but I won't be spending much time here any more. It's too toxic.

The first-floor renovation at @JEOLUSA is almost done, and the seasonal poinsettias are already in the lobby. Here's a PaperSpray mass spectrum that shows the anthocyanins responsible for the red color of the leaves.

Pumpkin spice is omnipresent this time of year... It's not about the pumpkin. It’s all about the spices! Here is a #chromatogram measured with a #JEOLUSA GC-time-of-flight mass spectrometer showing the volatile aromas in pumpkin spice coffee. #spectrometry

Andromeda galaxy with new mosaic function. Incomplete data collection because the galaxy rose to too high an altitude near the end. That's why there are dark bands in the corners. Still, not bad for a first attempt at mosaic (combining smaller images to cover a larger area).

Heather Cox Richardson's column today discusses a pamphlet the US War Department (now, Dept of Defense) published in 1935 on the topic of fascism. Here is a sample. It sounds frighteningly familiar. It is Trumpist rhetoric, exactly.

Accidentally typed "hydrocabrons" and the spell checker didn't fix it. Good thing that didn't get sent to my customers in Mexico! 🤣

Seems like a good time to remind people about this.
Kash Patel says as Trump’s next CIA Director he will lead “patriots” appointed by Trump in an all-out effort to prosecute and jail people in government and the media: “We will find the conspirators in govt and the media. Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media.”

Wow: this Associated Press exposé on Trump’s “refusal to disclose details about his physical or mental well-being,” breaking decades of precedent, is a must read. They write there are multiple “red flags for cognitive issues.” apnews.com/article/trump-har…
