So I got partly lucky with #CometLemmon. It dipped between houses and the weather was variable, so I only achieved 20 mins on the target - a pity since its tail structure deserved so much more time! Nicely green for #Halloween ! #astronomy #astrophotography 🔭 See you again in 1300 yrs 🤣

You can expect this type of behavior from any industry and/or government

🧪Superb work, a must read!

Tech companies replicate the tobacco and fossil fuel industries' efforts to distort the scientific record.

They deploy biased incentive structures and barriers, such as selective publishing and restricting data access, to impede evidence-based regulation.

In the past 2 weeks several European countries have reported locally acquired cases of #mpox clade Ib.
This is new. There had been patients before but those infections likely happened elsewhere.
Now it looks like mpox Ib is spreading here in the sexual networks of men who have sex with men.

Comet Lemmon over the High Tatras mountains, that partly separate Slovakia from Poland. The image is an enhanced composite of 50 exposures all taken on October 20, 2025, from Mlynica, Slovakia. Passing nearest to the Earth this week, the photogenic comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is now extending two long tails: a blue ion tail and a white dust tail. The ion tail is pushed away from the Sun by the ever-present but ever-changing solar wind, and also shows structure determined by how much gas is ejected at any one moment. It glows because it is ionized by high-energy sunlight. The dust tail is pushed away from the comet by sunlight and shines by reflecting sunlight.

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?


TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

A 12 year old 🤷

And there it is, once again.

“Representatives from Trump’s family crypto business have held talks with Binance about taking a stake in the US arm of the exchange,” the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year.

Zhao disputed that he was seeking to make a deal in exchange for a pardon.

Please stop taking pictures standing beside the bone piles. Those are not Halloween decorations.

With a roll, a splash and a flop – Lemeki takes mud bathing seriously. Though perhaps not quite as seriously as her new role as mini matriarch! With Mbegu living wild, Lemeki's stepping up as the dependent herd's young leader, keeping everyone in check. These mini matriarchs are born, not made.

My little experiment worked

TRUMP CRIME FAMILY!

It takes a criminal to pardon a criminal 🤬

Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of the crypto exchange Binance

Zhao had pleaded guilty to felony charges of money laundering - something close to Trump's heart.

More than 100% turnout is like reducing the cost of eggs by 200%

Executive Summary This report initially focused on Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. During investigations the ETA was approached by Alison Greene of Grassroots Speak and their It’s Up to Us campaign. Alison was doing a similar study of St. Lucie County and flagged multiple database errors and around voter registration that mirror our findings and concerns. Joint on the ground investigations have been underway and those findings will be published in The 2024 Election Series produced by GrassrootsSpeak and It’s Up to Us on their substack here. Statistical patterns consistent with vote manipulation were observed across all three counties analyzed. Trump’s vote share increases sharply in tandem with increased precinct turnout across all counties analyzed. The observed relationship approaches a one-to-one tradeoff between candidates; a statistical pattern experts identify as inconsistent with normal electoral behavior. A consistent turnout threshold emerges around 55–60%, above which Trump dominates; below this threshold Harris holds an advantage. These patterns are inconsistent with expected behavior in clean elections and match the well-documented “fingerprint” of ballot stuffing or turnout inflation (Shpilkin, Udot, Klimek). Multiple precincts exceeded 100% turnout across two counties or more, raising additional concerns about registration integrity or reconciliation errors. Mail-in voting does not show the same anomalies, suggesting the irregularities are concentrated around in-person precinct tabulation. Preliminary conclusion: These findings do not prove intent or mechanism, but they provide a clear concern of vote manipulation, warranting independent hand counts and further investigations.

Note, they only looked at Florida in this case, so this could be much bigger:

Total federal spending is up +7% in 2025 over 2024 year-to-date to Oct 20.

The story that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere.

Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

Per the Oct 22, 1904 Caliente Progress, these were apparently "lawless times" in Las Vegas, NV as two men were found dead a week and a half apart, and no inquests into their causes of death were held.https://tinyurl.com/42xzuaux
