Here’s a nice chart for everyone (diesel price): Jim Pillen and the great Nebraska bankruptcy It took grit & hard work for a GOP governor endorsed by Trump in a +20 MAGA state to become the least popular governor in America, but Jim pulled it off. medium.com/thought-thin...

Landscaping around homes also require a new mindset. Santa Rosa in 2017 was a shock. Who imagined that a dense, surburban community would torch? That the Palisades and Altadena burned showed urban fires are a risk for everyone.

School music programs are getting absolutely bodied by tariffs, per @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/b...
The effective tariff rate on instruments in June was about 13 percent, said Cullen Hendrix, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. That was down from a peak of nearly 24 percent last September but more than twice as high as before Mr. Trump’s second term.
Band and orchestral instruments have been hit the hardest, he said. In the second quarter of this year, imports of instruments were down nearly 20 percent from the same period in 2024. Imports of orchestral string instruments, including violins, violas and cellos, dropped 50 percent. Brass instruments fell 43 percent.

“It’s hitting the horns, it’s hitting the strings, it’s hitting the percussion,” Mr. Hendrix said. “All of those things combined are kind of sapping the available pool of tools that we can provide these children to begin their journey.”

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.
