@carolynporco.bsky.socialSome of us are painfully aware of this... and also frightened, horrified, disgusted, and stunned. Truly incredulous.
@carolynporco.bsky.socialJesus F***** Christ!
Trump's DHS agents apparently just conducted a raid and search on the home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, Congresswoman from Minnesota.
@carolynporco.bsky.socialI meant ... all these years, I wondered why nobody said anything about those shadows, which had never been seen before. But I was wrong: they did call it out.
@carolynporco.bsky.socialI was so busy during the Neptune flyby that I didn't know what my colleagues were saying to the press. So I didn't know that the shadows cast by Neptune's highest clouds in the atmosphere were singled out as 'a first'. And all these years, I wondered why.
@carolynporco.bsky.socialThank you! I'm going to soon be writing a book about Voyager and Cassini and it's wonderful to see what exactly we were all talking about during the encounters.
@carolynporco.bsky.socialThanks for this! It already answered one of my long-standing questions. Can you point me to the time stamp of my appearance?
@carolynporco.bsky.socialWow! Was I in that recording? Is it posted somewhere? I'd love to see it.

@carolynporco.bsky.socialUh ... no
@carolynporco.bsky.socialHey ... I like this! ;-)
@carolynporco.bsky.socialI didn't figure it out. I had expert help from a friend.

@carolynporco.bsky.socialI know :-( It's downright horrifying to think how long ago all that was. Like, it can't even be physically possible!
@carolynporco.bsky.social\2 ... 2.5 months of emails, including bills! I'm anxiously waiting now for the debt collector! I was very much happier in the ol' days when I had my own email server, which I did for ~30 yrs. Relying on big corps is a bloody drag. :-( 🧪
@carolynporco.bsky.socialDenouement! Thx to all those who offered advice in my Thunderbird/email problem. The solution had nothing to do w/ MX records. It was all Google's fault. They altered something in their Workspace environmnt which I, not being an IT person, didn't realize & it brought disaster. I missed ...\1
@carolynporco.bsky.socialIsn't this pic a stunner!?
We at CICLOPS made a video of this flyby that blew everyone away. Check it out!

Enjoy!!

@carolynporco.bsky.socialThanks. But why would I want to connect it to my Gmail account? Isn't this a different email hosting system? [If 'hosting' is the right word.]
@carolynporco.bsky.socialThank you. I'm not an Apple person. Would Proton mail work on PCs and Google phones? Or Android phones? And is it free?
@carolynporco.bsky.socialNever heard of them. Are they free?
@carolynporco.bsky.socialThunderbird. But I absolutely do not want to use gmail. Like most software apps created by 'the big guys' ... Facebook, Twitter, Gmail ... it's awful.
@carolynporco.bsky.socialHa! That's me! ... ciclops.org ... w/ the domain stuff handled thru Namecheap.
It sounds like you're suggesting I log into Namecheap & search for the MX record. Is that it?
I can't imagine why it would just suddenly go belly-up & I can't help but think that Google has done something nefarious.
