Rare Exports.
OK, it's only 15 years old. But in it we learn the price of reindeer in Finland, and how Santa can be in a million places all at once on Christmas eve. And as one friend said, it follows the consequences of its idea right to the end. I love this movie.

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis
In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are βimmediate dangers to the American food supplyβ due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.
So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

I looked for a time when Jupiter was there... this could have been around July 3, 2019 (near new moon) or maybe mid-Sep 2019, though that would have been near full moon, harder to catch such a nice dark sky.

Sure enough we can see lots of gracefully falling debris.
Is there any way to estimate how large the chunks of debris might be? Meters? Tens of meters??

Living in steamy Champaign, IL, I don't like summer weather but we do have great numbers of fireflies! Each year I note the date of first firefly spotted - usually late May, sometimes earlier. Last night walked under trees along a nearby creek & was completely surrounded with dozens of blinkers.

Rosetta
Follow Europe's comet chaser Rosetta on ESA's official website, where you can find the latest news, images and animations on the spacecraft and its lander Philae.Rosetta will rendezvous with comet 67P...
Are the starfield-with-foreground-streaks from some real imagery? The credits to this piece mention www.esa.int/Science_Expl... , and there are quite a few animations there. I've skipped around in them but can't find one with anything like those starfields - can anyone else?

This answer makes more sense than any other I've seen. But have you read elsewhere either (a) that FEMA has indeed run through its budget, or (b) that its budget was diverted to DHS/ICE? I would love to spread the word about that if so!

How DOGE Could Spark a Financial Crash
Playing with fragile commercial real estate is like playing with fire.
Commercial real estate for older office buildings is barely hanging on, trading at massive discounts, with growing defaults on mortgages & related bonds.
Great time for the government to terminate thousands of leases!
The economics of the DOGE fire sale, from me:

At least in Illinois where I live, political parties are allowed access to the voter rolls - names / addresses / ages, including which party's ballot they chose in recent years' primaries. Presumably this is for purposes of canvassing. Though the general public can't see the whole lists.

I hope you can remind them how racism gets used to divide people who would otherwise find common cause. It's a deliberate tool of oppression. Being effective at countering it is what made Fred Hampton dangerous, and why they wanted ACORN taken down. Not news but we need to keep remembering it.
