Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

My 16 year old Texan has just told me “I don’t think I’ve heard that song” 😂

I thought people were being dramatic, claiming others were lying about not hearing this song. 😂 I hadn’t until there were headlines about it breaking a record of some kind a week or so ago. I’ve now heard it 1/6th times. It’s… fine? Kinda like Texas. Been here 23 years. It’s fine.

I have terrible news for “I don’t watch the news”, “I don’t get political,” etc folks: apathy has demonstrably been the most impactful political stance of our, your parents’, and your grandparents’ times, and it’s never once worked out well.

Seems willful ignorance to what is happening in the world in the name of profit may have real consequences?

We continue to post this partially because people get so hung up on tilt changing 😂 Maybe next year we’ll introduce “relative to the Sun” to let people relax. Such drama.

I know it’s a bit reductive, but nowadays when I see what I’d previously would have been excited to know, it feels even more-distinctly unimportant. “Well, it’s about time we all opened our eyes about Venus’ PREVIOUS MOON!” We have today problems.

The right to vote is one of the most fundamental parts of our democracy. Check your voter registration at IWillVote.com and make a plan to vote early or on Election Day on November 3.

We really need to be very verbose moving forward. Maybe QR codes linking to sites explaining what children’s clothes are, and that they are on sale.

FoxNews was the only major outlet to carry Trump’s Wednesday night speech. Appropriate viewership in that 9–11 p.m. ET window was 2.5 million. So, yeah, a few do. A very, very few do.

Considered correcting some misinformation in an AI flame thread not at all even supporting AI, but that would not have ended well. So, instead, I’ll post this vaguery. Emotions run high in that arena.

I was informed by a MAGA relative while here in Indiana that they thought it was odd that flags were at half staff for Dolly, because that’s reserved for heads of state. I dutifully refrained from pointing out something…recent.

Not for nothing, but we really need to start comparing apples to apples in these polls feeding frenzies. How did we go from “polls are awful” in 2016, back again to breathlessly talking about every possible dissection?

Surprised to learn that AI attitudes are non-partisan, depending on the question asked according to late 2025 pew polls. R's and D's equally concerned over increased use of AI. R's were more-apt to believe the gov will regulate it properly...which is odd. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
pewresearch.org
Republicans, Democrats now equally concerned about AI in daily life, but views on regulation differ
Overall, 44% of U.S. adults say they trust the U.S. a lot or some to regulate the use of AI effectively, while 47% have little to no trust in the U.S. to do this.

NWS Fort Worth, TX offering some psychological support during a 7-Day forecast in which highs are 103-106°F.
NWS Fort Worth graphic titled “Climatologically, It Gets Cooler From Here!” explaining that average temperatures in North Texas peak in early to mid-August and gradually decline afterward. A daily temperature chart shows 2026 observed temperatures along with normal and record ranges. The graphic notes the average last 100°F day is August 27 at DFW and August 30 at Waco; the latest recorded 100°F days were October 3, 1951, at DFW and October 15, 2024, at Waco.

I'm currently helping my 16yo learn to drive, and this unfortunate truth is hard to square with what the driving test will be looking for. She gets a lot of grief from behind our car even when going a little over the speed limit.

Agreed! But, this post is also not from a news outlet. It’s a post by a prediction market company’s account about current odds in that prediction market company’s system. …that we’ve both now amplified. Ope.
