These days, the LHC has celebrated its 10th birthday. Almost no one has celebrated because, despite the Higgs boson discovery, there is a widespread feeling that the number of new things discovered by that collider has been disappointing.

One of the laymen's questions that kept on reappearing was: Will the LHC destroy Earth? Will it eat all of us?

Carbox Taxes
It's disconcerting to see how conservatives tout ideas -- until other people implement them. Then they go on a tear and furiously reject them.

Gillian Steward writes: Whatever the labels — carbon taxes, carbon pricing, or putting a price on pollution — they are actually conservative ideas. Prominent Conservatives such as Preston Manning, and former Alberta Treasurer Jim Dinning started promoting the idea years a...more »

Earlier in September, a Russian Air Force Mikoyan MiG-31 Foxhound interceptor was spotted at the Gromov Flight Research Institute at the Zhukovsky airfield near the town of Ramenskoye, 40km southeast of Moscow, armed with what appears to be an anti-satellite weapon slung under its belly.

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Whether or not Brett Kavanaugh is guilty or innocent of anything, the Kavanaugh hearings have shown us the essence of the Republican attitude towards women, or "females" as Mitch McConnell loves to dismissively refer to them, once and for all time. To republicans, all is permissive, to the extent of it becoming outward policy. This is not the old behind the curtain stuff of JFK's time or Bill Clinton's time. This is open, public disregard. This is not just ending Roe v Wade to exert control. this is not just women should shut up, stay home and bake cookies. This is women... more »

Czech readers react to lynching of Prof Strumia
Last night, the prestigious Czech right-wing news server Echo24.cz joined the plurality of the world media that wrote about the cultural Marxist-McCarthyist lynching of the prominent CERN phenomenologist Alessandro Strumia. Here is the translation – so that you may get some Czech black humor and some idea whether the Czech taxpayers (who still contribute to CERN – but I already began to work on changing this situation) stand on the side of Strumia or on the side of the lynching mob. *Professor questioned discrimination of women in science, CERN ended cooperation with him* *Echo24,... more »

Free Download: Ernest Hemingway, “The Old Man And the Sea”

He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. He constructed a new literary style characterized by lean, hard, sparse dialogue. He influenced literature and young authors for decades. As a teenager I was immediately drawn to his gritty realistic novels. There was no nonsense to his novels. They always involved man’s struggle against death and hardship. Mos... more »

A surprisingly good meal in a Texas backwater
While on the way to San Angelo today, Miss D. and I decided to stop for lunch at the town of Munday, Texas.

SCOTUS Hears Oral Arguments in Weyerhaeuser Case
By Ted Hadzi-Antich “In *Weyerhaeuser*, the Fish and Wildlife Service determined that private property in Louisiana should be regulated as critical habitat for an endangered species known as the dusky gopher frog even though no dusky gopher frogs inhabit the property – and haven’t for decades. The land isn’t a habitat for the frog, nor does it meet all of the criteria for a habitat. That didn’t stop the Service from making its determination, thus devaluing the land at the expense of the landowner. Taking regulatory hubris one step further, the Service determined that the critical ... more »

Though people who sell the organic process think a limited monoculture past is worth paying a premium for, the future may belong to the groundcherry and other orphan crops, thanks to biotechnology and the gene editing tool CRISPR, the successor to legacy organic processes like Mutagenesis and transg... more »
