Reading through this thread and I don't see anyone talk about crew morale. SOTL crew will not be surprised by anything thrown at them, Trireme crews will think they're attacking Zeus himself.

"We don't want to turn into a banana republic, so we won't try to rein in corporations" is the kind of thing you say if you don't know what makes a banana republic a banana republic, and instead want to be a banana republic where the bananas are data centers.

Y'all! Read this editorial! Seriously. Even if this were not my newspaper (which it is) I'd say - Read this editorial! Note: Hobart was very much NOT some "surprisingly enlightened man of his time" or anything. He was a lifelong bachelor, a logger-- 1/2 upperrogueindependent.com/2026/09/30/1...

True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.

Junior making a 1:00 visit. Started out getting snacks off the ground then hopped up on the snack table for more from the bowl. Then, of course, off to get a drink. 🪶 roadrunner

A roadrunner entered the yard and came up to a backyard patio. The bird looks expectedly at the camera hoping for mealworms

After snacks, the roadrunner leaves the patio to get a drink of water from a clay bowl in the yard.

From the Fort Worth Zoo: Raani the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) admires her baby, newly hatched. The Fort Worth Zoo had 8 (!) babies hatch this season. The population of these critically endangered crocs is less than 1000 globally, so every hatchling matters. (📷: Fort Worth Zoo)

From a 2023 Facebook post by the Fort Worth Zoo:
"HISTORY IS MADE🚨
The Zoo is thrilled to announce this monumental conservation success - the hatchings of four critically endangered gharial crocodiles. The Fort Worth Zoo is the only institution in the United States to have produced multiple offspring of this critically endangered species. (To date, only one other institution has produced a single offspring in 2016.) In the wild, it is estimated that only about 200 reproducing adults remain. We are so proud of our ectotherms team for this historic achievement!"

Pretty sure this is Junior. Hanging out for 30 minutes - so far. 1- grooming itchy feathers 2- so much floof 3- “anything in this clump of native grass?” 4- “can someone help scratch this itch?” 🪶🌿 roadrunner

A roadrunner is standing in a corner of the yard in the shade. The bird is grooming its feathers, might be molting and getting new itchy feathers.

The roadrunner has fluffed up its belly feathers so the bird looks twice as big.

The roadrunner has jumped into a large clump of native grass facing away from the camera. The bird has good camouflage in the shadows.

The roadrunner is reaching around with its beak to groom near the base of its tail feathers.
