🌕 The Harvest Moon arrives Saturday — and it’s not just another full moon.
Around this time of year, the Moon rises at unusually similar times on successive evenings — a quirk of astronomy that once gave farmers extra evening light.

And that is why they are dismantling the structures for DEI in the US, particularly in education systems. Because kids were learning ideas that made it harder to turn them into genocidal drones who would look on or actively participate.
I had a conversation with a DEI professional in another country last week, and y'all know I'm a critic of DEI as a framework, but she said something while discussing where the US is on the path to genocide:
The goal of DEI work is to prevent genocidal ideas from taking root.

For your current knowledge, hours after successfully handing CNN over to the Ellisons, which dismantled CBS News' entire climate team, Gavin Newsom is flying out of California to — you guessed it — New York Climate Week.
for your future voting knowledge, Gavin Newsom was central in pressuring the AGs to settle their antitrust lawsuit against Paramount:
Done! Paramount Settles Antitrust Suit, Set To Seal Deal For Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount agreed to settle an antitrust suit by a dozen State Attorneys General led by California's Rob Bonta, the last obstacle to its merger with WBD.

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods
A mysterious trio of orcas, unknown to scientists, showed up in Canada’s busy Vancouver Harbour, later heading south to Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia.
