The Daily Sun is a excellent paper, with a long history of taking difficult stands. (In his day, Kurt Vonnegut was editor.) I am proud to see that a high level of journalist integrity still stands somewhere. The editors are likely to face serious repercussions for this, and still they took action.

Reposting this would be very helpful. We're having a tough month at Skype a Scientist between much of my energy being devoted to Academy of Natural Sciences stuff. I need help!!

We're cooked, lol
The well known "this is fine" meme dog sitting in his chair, looking dazed and holding a smartphone in his hand.  Instead of sitting amongst flames in his house, he's now surrounded by surveillance cameras, armed drones hover in the air, his coffee is poisonous, he has measles, and dead fish lay below brought in by a mudslide to the right of the frame.  He is flanked by two long banks of data centers, and the sky and background are dusty yellow, parched and dry.  He says "This is...."

People are no longer leaving their homes to go be with other humans. They stay home, stream their favorite shows, and order DoorDash. They definitely do not go to museums.

There was a reason the media couldn't look away. And still, most of the destruction of Katrina was human-caused...failed levees...poor response by a political crony in charge of FEMA...and much more.

Not to downplay Gary...it's very bad...but Katrina was SO much worse. Some people had no power for MONTHS. They enforced a mandatory evacuation of the flooded city at gunpoint, and you needed a pass just to see if your house was still there...and the city was closed for a solid month.

This is EXACTLY what happens when Louisiana gets an all-Republican government...they trash the state, and after 8 years, even the least informed conservatives have enough and vote in a Dem governor, who can't fix much with a majority R legislature. The state is hosed, blue dots like NOLA included.

DUDES! North Louisiana where they are building these things is more than 100 miles inland. There will be no salt water, no Poseidon. The strongest hurricane will be a tropical storm before it gets that far. (See Hurricane Laura.) The danger is from heavy rainfall, riverine flooding, and tornadoes.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
In 1266 a widow named Avelina le Marescal wanted to pay off some sins for herself and her late husband. And so, like you do, she donated some eels. Avelina gave the priory of Norwich all the eels paid in rent from her mill in Bywick, thus securing the monks' prayers & blessings.🗃️🧪
Meme. Drawing of a woman kneeling in front of a priest, who is blessing her.  The woman -- who looks like her name is something like Firetrix -- is on the left. She's kneeling, and bowing her head to receive the blessing. Her hands are clasped over her chest, in a gesture that speaks either to piety or to a sudden worry that she's lost her necklace. She is wearing a maroon robe, and a blue shawl over her head and shoulders with little fleurs-de-lis sprinkled over it, as if she's making as case for the fleur-de-lis as the next great Lucky Charms shape.

The priest, on the right, is seated in a fancy chair or throne. His hand is raised in blessing, and he's looking right at Firetrix. He knows her sin. Probably helped her with it. His high forehead and willowy demeanor suggest that his name is Fr. Phlarus. His expression says he knows a place in the undercroft where they can get freaky.

Meme text reads: 
"Forgive me father, for I have sinned
What's the sin/eel
exchange rate these days?"

I always see amazing, sturdy bookcases at estate sales for relatively cheap--well made ones from real wood. The problem is transporting them (you need help to load them up and the right kind of vehicle), and patience to wait for the right sale.

R governor, R majorities in both legislature. Even when it had a D governor, he faced a veto-proof majority of Rs in the legislature. The state is gerrymandered, and getting worse. That plus voter suppression make it difficult to elect Ds statewide. And a very centrist, weak D party doesn't help.

if you took my advice last year and bought used leather pants, wore those leather pants, and then resold them on eBay, you would have made more money than if you invested in bitcoin

Jim Morrison in a black leather jacket, black t-shirt, black leather pants, and suede boots. A chart shows that Bitcoin has fallen 34% in the last year. At its peak within this period, it was about $125k. Today, it's $64k.
