Sometimes I wonder if I truly love the sound of trains, or if what I love is the sense that I am hearing an echo of the river. However polluted. However scattered with coal.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Every time I read the name of that river I think of Wonder Boys.

Solid book/movie.

Remember, when we wanted more renewable energy to reduce fossil fuels and tackle the climate crisis, we were sneered at and dismissed as β€˜fantasists’.

Yet, when tech billionaires want solar to power the AI data centres stealing people’s jobs, the right can’t get enough of it.

"Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest"

I love Irish tea. Drink it more than anything else. but my personal ranking is definitely unpopular. Possibly blasphemous.

I'm seeing a lot of posts about how Trump doesn't have a plan. He absolutely does.

Probably this: make the US vulnerable to attack so he can have his very own 9/11. Declare martial law. Cancel/steal elections. Round up dissidents and send them to his concentration camps. All in the name of NatSec

I'm gonna guess that's probably what it was then.

I live in eastern Henrico. Not far from the airport. But, has wings will travel.

Could be! I've just never seen one that big. Didn't think they could get that big

Nah. It was definitely some kind of hawk or falcon. Broad, squat neck. Thanks though! I can't find anything that perfectly matches the description. Too big for a Cooper's, but with the same solid gray coloration on the top of the wings. Same chest color as a red shouldered but w/out the wing pattern

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

It was the size of maybe a large domestic cat

Bird people: I live outside Richmond and just saw a remarkably large raptor with solid gray wings (when perched β€” I didn't see the undersides) and an orange-red chest. This was significantly larger than a crow, for size reference. It didn't have the patterning of a red shouldered hawk. What was it?
