Will there be a forthcoming EO banning women from riding "men's" bikes and vice versa?

Almost easier to list players who will be dressing (although given many of them are relatively unknown to the general audience and will be gone after cutdown day, probably not)

If you haven’t yet seen this, here’s Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt doing “After the Gold Rush” on Letterman. Amazing. m.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Xc...

If you’re worried about our elections – or yesterday’s Supreme Court order – we have some good news: yesterday's order was a procedural ruling, nothing more. #orpol

SCOTUS election order: 3 things to know
1. This order was procedural and does not block mail-in voting.
2. Oregon DOJ is ready to take immediate action when voting is threatened.
3. Oregon elections will be safe, secure, and accurate in November and beyond.

If you're ambitious enough to run for a Senate seat, you're also probably thinking you can charm anyone. (But that doesn't excuse a candidate's advisors, who should constrain the candidate's hubris).

The white streaks in the sky are a bit unnerving, but otherwise it's a winner to me.

Great Basin National Park is so under-appreciated and the place to go for dark skies!

“Because we all know that the Flock cameras are not only following the license [plates]; they are following children. They are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we need this,” the sith lord continued. “I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend.”

Given rising interest in the rapidly strengthening El Niño event in the tropical Pacific Ocean, I've created a one-page fact sheet succinctly describing what El Niño is, this year's (remarkable) forecast, and potential impacts from California to global scales. [Thread]

JPEG version of a 1-page Factsheet: El Niño 2026-2027: A Potentially Historic Global Climate Event
By Daniel Swain, PhD | August 2026

There is a banner image depicting projected warming of the Pacific Ocean by early winter.

The content begins:
"What is El Niño?
El Niño is the warm phase of a natural cycle, known as El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), that occurs roughly every 2-7 years in the tropical Pacific Ocean. During El Niño events, the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean warms to well above typical levels. El Niño directly affects local climate in the countries closest to the unusually warm ocean waters, but can also indirectly influence the climate of distant regions thousands of miles away. During the strongest events, El Niño can profoundly affect climate even on global scales, causing temporary planetary warming and disrupting large-scale precipitation patterns..."
