POV: Earth’s solar defense system pushed to the limit last night

I knew it was an agave, did not know it was a century plant, which blooms every 10-30 years, until two weeks ago. 6 feet growth of the flower stalk in 2 weeks. Will check it again in January.

Thanks for this. The harmonies are a revelation.

Agree.

Just reposted this, which I’d never run across. Amazing versions of the familiar.

Yes we’re a little over with the Beatles, but come on. This is sweet and simple. Some great versions of familiar tunes.

Sociopathy 101

No chorus? No problem: The improbable story behind Gordon Lightfoot’s beloved hit ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ The song, recorded 50 years ago, commemorates the sinking of the biggest ship on the Great Lakes.

Today in the @thestar.com, I wrote about the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and the story behind “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”—and how what you hear on the Gordon Lightfoot classic is actually the 1st time his band ever played the song www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

Jaguar caza a un coatí ante turistas en Tikal, Petén Jaguar cazando coatí sorprende a turistas en el Parque Nacional Tikal.

A group of tourists at Tikal were watching, and recording, a group of coatimundis when a jaguar came out and grabbed one (of the coatis) coming within feet of one watcher.

Scroll down to the video.

We get a similar hour in the Adirondacks. (And we loved the Dvorak essay)

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

What do you suppose that “middle part” is?

Add angels and it’s a Rev. Finster fever vision.

Wish I was there to see and hear. But we'll be back soon.

Damn bro, do you ever feel like your eyes have seen the have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord? Like He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored??

YouTube video by BLUES AND SOUL Les McCann & Eddie Harris Compared To What?

Last Eddie Harris I posted was the upbeat. This one is the down. Rocking, angry, and suits this moment.

"Try to make it real, compared to what?"
