I am a ghostly whisper, lost in sky, a stray thought ever fading, stubbornly asking why, wingtips glinting in starlight as through the frozen darkness I fly.

Male hippopotamuses reach weights of up to 3200 kg (over 14,500 stoats) & can open their mouths at an angle of 150 degrees to reveal impressive 20-inch (1.5 stoat) tusks. (Mason 2013) #2026MMM #StoatsAsMeasurement #OpenWide

Wow. It looks like it's not far from flowing right over the road itself.

Avoiding antibiotics unless you know you have a serious bacterial infection might be a good idea. (But of course, do take them if really necessary.)

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

So, about the same, except it will take an extra night for the cold to get down here. (Only in the upper 40s here tonight.) Still, crazy temp drop.

And normal high temps here this month should be in the low 60s, not the 80s :\

Record high temperatures today, all across the Eastern / Southeastern U.S.

Hasn't been this hot, so soon in the year, in 36 years.

Where I am, it's in the 80's already.

2 days from now, in the morning, it will be freezing. A 50 degree drop in less than 48 hours.

Climate change. More extremes.

NASA shares photos of an extraordinary event witnessed by astronauts on the space station From the ISS, scientists are capturing rare lightning above storms that could impact radio, climate, and safety.

Astronauts on the International Space Station captured rare β€œred sprites”—brief red flashes high above thunderstorms. These mysterious events help scientists study lightning, the upper atmosphere, and how storms affect radio signals and aircraft

While playing in the yard, I found a ball! It made me happy but made Mom a bit sad. It turns out it was one of Shadow’s balls. Mom says seeing me smiling with it helps heal her heart. She also says I’ll probably find more because Shadow was love β€˜em and lose β€˜em with balls.

Muskenratt might be one of the lyingest liars who ever conned investors out of billions with stolen SciFi ideas that won't actually happen or be profitable for decades, if not centuries.

So I got a "90" sleep score last night, the highest I've managed since I started using my wristband and tracking my sleep.

But it definitely goes up and down a lot. Still trying to see if I can learn enough from it to keep getting high scores. I do think moderate exercise helps, tho.

An old, red Chevrolet pickup with a white cab is driving down a busy street with a life-sized figure of Homer Simpson sitting on a laundry basket strapped to the bed of the truck. The perspective of the shot is from above. I was standing on a balcony and saw this truck drive by. Pasadena, California

Because who doesn't drive around with a life-size Homer Simpson in the back of your red, classic pickup truck?

Also interesting, the # of Nicholas Cage movies made, strongly correlates with the # of people who die by drowning, in similar timeframes.

(Also just a coincidence.)

Factoid: At traditional universities, Librarians usually hold a similar rank as Professor, with extensive training, education, and professional credentials.

Factoid: The time schedules by which 1. vaccines are given naturally & regularly proceed the time by which 2. Autism can be detected in children. 1. comes before 2., so people may think 1. causes 2. Actually, science does not support this.

The original study proposing this "casualty" was debunked.

Factoid: Claims like "4 out of 5 dentists recommend blah blah" are crap. In reality, dentists are not experts qualified to make reliable recommendations about "blah blah." You need real scientific studies for this. Dentists don't do that.

False expertise is *commonly* utilized to deceive you.
