At the entrance into my neighborhood!

This car must have been going way to fast on S 145th East Ave to miss the turn and plow into this house.

That's the way I read the story but it also looks like the main impact was on the passenger side of the car.

Now I can move with a lighter load on my mind. Whew!

Now... as the progresses across portions of Central and North America...

Reflect on - e.g. put yourself into the mind of people hundreds, thousands of years ago...

They did not have paper glasses, they didn't have knowledge it was going to occur. They assumed it was magic or harbinger of all things bad.

I suspect there will be headlines tomorrow about deaths that occurred during eclipse... via someone pulling the trigger of a gun.

Because well you know. Guns.

The US used to have much better federal regulations of big business that was set up after the 1930s depression. Unfortunately those regs have been rolled back starting in the 1980s, so here we are with near monopolies without competition or regulation. 😢

Mount Etna in Sicily, the largest active volcano in Europe, has been blowing spectacular “smoke rings” into the sky since Wednesday. The “volcanic vortex rings”, a rare phenomenon that is generated by the combination of rapid gas release and the vent shape, spewed out of a new crater that opened on Tuesday on Etna’s summit.

At this point, I'm fine with everyone, who thinks Russia is so much better than America, goes ahead and moves there like this family.

Breaking WSJ: No Labels is abandoning efforts to create a 'unity ticket' aiming to win the White House, according to people familiar with the plans.

A 40 something trans friend of mine saw one of Kennedy's tiktok ads trading off of his dad & uncle heritage and my friend shared it with me saying he was impressed. I filled him in on the whole history of RFKjr and my friend quickly changed his mind, but there will be others who fall for his tiktok feed appealing to younger liberals.

    By the end of this year, semi-trucks will for the first time start traveling alone, without human minders like Jenkins, as two major companies — Aurora and Kodiak Robotics — launch fully autonomous trucks in Texas. 😱

    Big business/billionaires are all for reducing the need for workers and I doubt they will care if people die from accidents from these self driving semi-trucks. (I am not happy)

    "The head of the IPCC has compared the rollout of carbon capture and storage () to "trying to push water uphill," questioning a technology that the oil and gas industry has long touted as integral to net-zero emission plans.

    The International Energy Agency has previously called for the oil and gas industry to let go of the "illusion" that carbon capture is a solution to climate change, pushing instead for energy majors to ramp up investments in clean energy."
