Direct hit! A beautiful, full-halo CME is now leaving the Sun following the X1.2 flare, and it's heading right for us. We'll have to see what the models think about this one, but we now have two Earth-directed CMEs coming at us and a good chance for geomagnetic storms Nov 11-12.

This Woman Wants to Destroy Your Lawn Heather McCargo and the Wild Seed Project want us all to think differently about what we plant (and yeah, to think about it in the winter).

Good read about powerhouse behind Maine’s #NativePlants Wild Seed Project, whose seeds I have used myself. Especially good for NE #gardening but lots of overlap with Midwest too. Also important idea of future-proofing for climate change by planting adjacent species.🌱 downeast.com/land-wildlif...

child pedestrian fatalities versus day of the year. giant spike on halloween.

"why is everything a trunk or treat now. nobody trick or treats anymore"

maybe it's the giant useless trucks that seem to intentionally limit the vision of the drivers allowing them to mow over pedestrians.

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

When a group of cells in a body decides that their survival supersedes the needs of the rest of the system, draining all resources until eventual death, we call that a cancer*… and it’s a tragedy.

But somehow so many do not see that this is exactly what b*llion*ires do.

Missed Trump’s deranged UN speech? We’ve got you covered.
YouTube video by Zeteo Missed Trump’s deranged UN speech? We’ve got you covered.

Historians will one day listen to his speeches and wonder how he wasn't immediately slapped into a straitjacket and trundled off to an asylum. Actually, I suspect a lot of historians wonder about that right now.
