There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

Linkee-poo, yellow bird, you are not long in singing and in flying on, in laughing, and in leaving

A Fonda Lee tweet thread about being a debut author. (Grokked from Laura J Mixon)

"Scientists from MIT and Johns Hopkins University have now detected radio signals from the event that match very closely with X-ray emissions produced from the same flare 13 days earlier. They believe these radio "echoes," which are more than 90 percent similar to the event's X-ray emissions, are more than a passing coincidence. Instead, they appear to be evidence of a giant jet of highly energetic particles streaming out from the black hole as stellar material is falling in." Black Holes burp.

"The 9-meter-tall, 8.8-ton spacecraft - dubbed HAMMER (Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response vehicle) - features a modular design that would enable it to serve as either a kinetic impactor… or as a transport vehicle for a nuclear device. Its possible mission: deflect 101955 Bennu, a massive asteroid… weighing around 79 billion kilograms… circling the sun at around 63,000 miles per hour. Based on observation data available, Bennu has a 1 in 2,700-chance of striking Earth on Sept. 25, 2135, and it is estimated that the kinetic energy of this impact would be equivalent to 1,200 megatons…"

"A suspected link between abnormal breast growth in young boys and the use of lavender and tea tree oils has been given new weight, after a study found eight chemicals contained in the oils interfere with hormones." Again, preliminary study, based on cancer research (which is then interpolated to have this affect). Remember when herbals, supplements, and aroma therapy were all dismissed as hoodoo?

"Authorities in Austin, Texas, responded to an explosion in the southwest part of the city late Sunday, with the city's emergency medical service tweeting that it caused two serious but non-life-threatening injuries." That's the fourth package. This time, however, it's believe the package was detonated using a trip wire. If this is an escalation, improvement, or just a response to the heightened awareness of what is going on is unclear.

Ten years after the start of the Great Recession, as Congress is about to roll back many provisions in Dodd-Frank, Marketplace interviews Bernanke, Paulson and Geithner.

For "The Answer Is More Guns" crowd, "A 13-year-old girl has died after authorities say she was shot Saturday by her 9-year-old brother, local media reported… Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell said the girl would not give up a video game controller when her brother wanted it." I'm sure if the girl had a gun, this wouldn't have happened. Or something like that.

"'Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,' (D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr.) says (in a video post to Facebook). 'And D.C. keep talking about, "We a resilient city." And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.'" Conspiracy theories and non-fact based beliefs are increasing. And they can't even get their stories straight. It's the Bilderberg Group that control the weather. I mean, everybody knows that.

"Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly support President Donald Trump because they believe he'll cause the world to end." Dear Israel, evangelicals are not your friends. (Grokked from Kathryn Cramer)
