happy bday artist Georgia O’Keeffe, b.1887, Sun Prairie, WI. “My painting is what I have to give back to the world for what the world gives to me."

A 21st Century David Bowie song? That is what I thought. Nope. Cheers to another trip around the sun. youtu.be/i6TYpTSEjYo?...

I did watch The Sandpiper a month or so back. Happy to be an observer to that story. My take away. This is how fully formed intellectuals talk, and I wish I was one.

A snapshot from an afternoon last week. Solar and wind were supplying 71% of the Texas electrical grid.

Yikes. US offshore workers use UKOE medical certificates. A fair guess that we are a heavier cohort. With PPE I would have a restricted 3-6 months medical certificate under the new guidelines…

In anticipation of really long wait times…

The fatal flaw of this take-away is that none of the advanced co’s plan to discharge in the twilight zone and that ISA and EEZ regs prohibit. ‘Although the release depth for this waste is currently unclear, some mining operators have proposed midwater mining discharge within the twilight zone.’

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Update- all three candidates prevailed overturning a 6-1 religious conservative majority in one of Texas’ largest school districts. ‘Cy-Fair ISD conservative candidates lose ground in early totals, challenger slate takes the lead’ www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Where is Steve Kornacki?

Wee Yulienski says “Go Vote! Aarrrooh!” #Vote

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

If you haven't voted, and you have an election today, GO VOTE NOW.

I checked in yesterday afternoon. 71% of the Texas electricity grid was being powered by solar and wind! Hey! What happened to my partisan political talking points? …$$

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

71% of the Texas electricity grid is being generated from solar and wind right now! Four of the nation’s biggest metroplexes and beyond. 31 million people. #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy

The Texas electricity grid by energy resource for Oct 31 2025. For 16 hours over 50% of the grid was supplied by solar and wind. Yes, in Texas, powering 4 of the nation’s largest metroplexes and beyond. #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy

La Catrina, Matamoros

50% of the Texas electrical grid is solar right now. Amazing. Not very many years ago the max contribution from solar was a few % at best. Green policy by the Texas govt? No, it makes $$.

Every day another disaster - this one especially.

A sad day indeed…

Tapper keeps running the age story with politicians but doesn’t focus on Trump. Why? Trump will sue him, Biden and Norton won’t.

The Michelin Guide announced its picks for top Texas restaurants in Houston. In total, 22 local restaurants won recognition as Bib Gourmand spots bit.ly/3JtJMPl

fixed that for you

Night night, birdies. Great game.

C’mon Dodgers 14th’s the charm.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Finally read the paper and it's worth the buzz. mRNA vaccines saved 20 million lives in a global pandemic and the technology is opening up new avenues for the treatment of deadly cancers. This is really one of the most impactful scientific developments of our time. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Many ocean scientists could be exaggerating adverse impacts of modern polymetallic nodule mining. Their hypotheses are valid and deserving of investigation but they are not supported by data that show resilience and recolonization at these abyssal ecosystems by scientists closer to the work.

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Project 3 Done! My advanced machine learning project is in with 10 min to spare! Via UTexas postgrad course in AI and Machine learning. Time for a 2:30 am Irish whisky with wee Yulienski.
