new update: with Hurricane Isaias moving toward the U.S., 32.6% of Gulf platforms have been evacuated, with 62.9% of oil production shut down and 57.4% of natural gas production shut down. Once the storm passes, production should resume significantly by early next week.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Hadn't seen ISS in an eon, so decided to catch it this evening. After setting up in a clear-ish spot among the trees at our place, I went for a clearer view of the horizon to see when it was climbing, then decided that would be a better viewpoint, so hastily moved the tripod. Meh. Not enuf time. 🔭

A suburban night sky with a bright 20-second streak of ISS passing almost overhead. The Teapot in Sagittarius, and part of the tail of Scorpius, are marked, along with five Messier objects. The brightest part of the Milky way is just visible below the Teapot.

The absolute pride of Gilmer, Texas, population 4,843, 17 armadillos, 81 jackrabbits, and 374 very good dogs. God, I wish I’d been able to see him. The legendary Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin was known as The House That Freddie King Built. God damn 😵: youtu.be/vdyvPg0c6bI?...

Front cover for Texas Cannonball showing Freddie playing guitar in a field of bluebonnets with an armadillo bounding like a jackrabbit in the background. Did not know they could do that.

Rear cover for Texas Cannonball shows armadillo hatching from the side of a giant egg. Did now know they could do this either.

Imposing 18-year term limits for justices would improve the Supreme Court by ensuring no single person has generational power, by giving each president two appointments per four-year term, and by lowering the stakes of the confirmation process. bit.ly/47DWAuZ

Interactive data visualizations analyzing changes in Supreme Court tenure, unequal numbers of presidential appointments, and narrowing Senate confirmation votes make the case for reform.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I do NOT understand why the student encampments of 2023/2024 have been COMPLETELY memory-holed. The response to those emcampments were among the most BRUTAL repression the country has enacted and people are STILL being persecuted TODAY.

Meanwhile, back to the last 30 minutes of “The Swarm”: We were told that the bee swarm is simultaneously 70 miles away NW of Houston, moving SE at 5 MPH, and 3.5 days away, until somebody pissed them off because “the enemy is always expected to do the unexpected.” “Yeah.”
