This is actually how to end all of this… everybody who cares, stops.

Everybody should call in sick. Shut the air down. Hell, shut the met offices down.

Folks -- this is for our healthcare. It's all we got. Short term pains lead to long term gains.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Soaking rain coming up tomorrow. Good news is we need the rain. Bad news is it kills the October warmth...much cooler air moves in behind it.

We have to stop pretending that people in the media-sphere don’t have a personal interest in being in the media-sphere

If you say Dems should negotiate with Trump, please confirm you've read the pre-shutdown Trump EO that authorizes you and yours to be probed as terrorists if you commit any thought-crime listed on the right-hand side of this Ken Klippenstein report excerpt.

*That* is who you want to negotiate with.

Before she passed, Jane Goodall was interviewed as recently as last week, and her message was clear, consistent, and timely: "Humans are not exempt from extinction."

Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message

"Intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

Nice shot of (Cat 4) Hurricane Humberto...several hundred miles northeast of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. No threat to land at the moment...could pass near Bermuda during the early to middle part of next week.

Mild day coming up tomorrow (Friday). Gradual clearing and an offshore wind should send us well into the 70s. HRRR 2-m temps in the lower to middle 70s suggest 75 to 80F is in play. Still a bit humid too.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Semicolons are divisive; it cleaves; it drives some people crazy. It's showy; it's chiefly used to show you've been to college.

More than two-thirds of young Americans claim they know how to use it; about the same number, tests proved, actually don't. bit.ly/4mmQHHz

Because electric utilities are monopolies, captive customers pay all their operating costs, including the costs of modernizing the systems they use to bill us. Lack of competition means they don't use most efficient billing systems, used by competitive industries:

What would it look like if electric utilities borrowed the digital best practices exemplified by the film, banking and telecom industries?
