https://www.space.com/41203-blue-origin-new-shepard-crew-escape-test.html This was a cool bit of news I heard both on Texas Standard and SGU on Facebook. Video of the test is here https://youtu.be/NRDhdHRyyjc?t=5m
It's about time someone in the legislature spoke up about this subject. Cruz has little room to talk. The Senator from the great state of Canada needs to wake up and remember what he said about the Orange Hate-Monkey during the campaign. The call to #ImpeachTrump is long overdue. http://www.texasstandard.org/stories/after-orourke-talks-impeachment-ted-cruz-hits-back/
Solar And Wind Energy May Be Nice, But How Can We Store It?https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/05/470810118/solar-and-wind-energy-may-be-nice-but-how-can-we-store-it
I found this to be sympatico with a lot of my thinking on the subject of energy. Oil is itself a storehouse of solar energy. Stored by these creatures we didn't even know existed until very recently. https://www.ted.com/talks/penny_chisholm_the_tiny_creature_that_secretly_powers_the_planet

Joe Manchin should be removed from his seat for his actions on this committee, along with the entire Republican membership. This is demonstrably dereliction of duty. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/07/brian-benczkowski-justice-department-nominee-with-russia-ties-confirmation/
This episode of On The Media hits the faulty precept that underlies all of conservative and libertarian thinking about money, and that is that people with money should legitimately be able to buy anything with their money. This episode demonstrates just how wrong that precept is. https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/big-sky-dark-money/
l'esprit de l'escalier https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4818160 I think that can be losely translated as (facepalm)
https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/07/10/627818329/the-price-of-a-hyundai-in-iran I found this episode of the indicator quite sad. Liking the Orange Hate-Monkey and hoping for war in Iran, this coming from an Iranian.
