Clay Bennet… my man… you could do the funniest thing of all time…

+15 from overnight.

Brings to at least 55 the number of transports, tankers and E-3 AWACS (2) that were seen preparing, moving or participating in refuel ops for other aircraft to the Middle East.

Just from the last 10 hours.

Ok I’m just way behind

Not sure how long you’ve been able to push-button save images from the app, but I remember asking them about it years ago

I just noticed the Oklahoma Mesonet:

1. Is on Bluesky @mesonet.org, AND
2. Now allows you to save maps from their app ‼️

On this day we salute you, President Davidson 🫡

Congrats and good luck!

The *best version* of the Epstein scandal is that a wide swathe of American elites was palling around with a known child predator and explicit eugenicist for years on end — and is now closing ranks to downplay the severity of his crimes and their own complicity.

They went so far back in American history they turned European again

Lifetime Cannabis Use Is Associated with Brain Volume and Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs: Vol 0, No ja Objective: Cannabis use has increased among older adults, yet the neurocognitive effects in this demographic remain unclear. Prior work has suggested cannabis may increase brain volume in areas rich in cannabinoid (CB1) receptors, though negative effects are often reported in adolescents. This study sought to clarify the relationship between cannabis use and brain health among middle-aged and older adults. Method: Using data from the UK Biobank, which includes health information from over 500,000 adults, associations between cannabis use, regional brain volume, and cognition in participants aged 40–70 years (mean age = 54.5) were evaluated. Results: Lifetime cannabis use was positively associated with regional brain volume in CB1-rich regions, including the caudate, putamen, hippocampus, and amygdala. Greater lifetime use was also linked to better performance in learning, processing speed, and short-term memory. Individuals reporting use limited to adolescence also showed larger regional volumes and better cognitive performance than non-users. Sex differences in cannabis effects on brain volume and cognition were also observed. Conclusions: Results highlight that cannabis may influence brain health differently across the lifespan, potentially offering protective effects in older age while posing risks earlier in development. Protective effects may result from endocannabinoid-mediated modulation of inflammation, immune function, and neurodegeneration. Observed sex differences likely reflect variation in the endocannabinoid system and underscore the importance of considering sex as a biological variable in studies of cannabis and brain health.

I can’t download the paper to look at their discussion on confidence, but it looks like a stat analysis of half a million records in some UK medical database. So there’s lots of variables so they can’t control for.

The Sand Springs City Council voted 6-1 Tuesday night to rezone 827 acres for a proposed data center to be operated by Google. Some residents shouted for a recall vote after the meeting adjourned.

Are you listening Oscar?

I think there is too much reluctance to simply not take people’s professed political concerns seriously on their own terms. They’re often just a mask for a desire for a collective identitarian status triumph over an out-group scapegoat, like sports competitions

It's hard to put into words how devastated I feel. She was just the best.

First time I saw this video it had a big RT logo on it

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Big ol’ fat flakes just now in OKC @nws.noaa.gov #okwx

There’s two. From posts on community Facebook groups, seems they’ve been here at least a couple days puttering around small airports #ae5916

Fairly unusual to see an Osprey doing exercises in Oklahoma #ae5e8b

YouTube video by FRONTLINE PBS | Official 2000 Meters to Andriivka (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

2000 Meters to Andriivka was snubbed by the Oscars, but it's still the absolute best documentary of modern warfare. When the soldiers who survived stood up after the film's premier in Kyiv last summer, they received a 15 minute standing ovation.
