The plan would relocate headquarters to Salt Lake City, close 23 research stations, and replace many regional offices with state offices essentially completely eliminating the Forest Service.

A note of hope for those of you hesitating about getting the shingles vax: not everyone gets the whole suite of side-effects. I'm an example of one of the lucky ones who got a sore arm and a bit of fatigue. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.

Trump did this

Happy start to the World Series, to all who celebrate! Go Brewers.

Fall is here. So we can finally talk about this serious topic... Jonagold vs. Honeycrisp apples.

There is something delightful about us getting a Brewers-Rays World Series right before owners lock out players for forcing them to spend too much money.

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

For those wondering if their vote matters: Speaking as a historian, there have been elections throughout American history that were decided by an AMAZINGLY SMALL number of votes. Don't surrender your right to have a say. Vote!

Trump’s lawyers should have a great time at this hearing this morning in front of the judge he just called a “crazed lunatic” and “insane.” Enjoy.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Meanwhile, Europe is developing its own satellite communications systems, and Ukraine is seeking alternatives to Starlink as trust in Washington continues to deteriorate. Threatening our allies over Musk’s business interests only gives them more reason to reduce their dependence on it.

"I think it warranted a flag. That's a lot of contact where you're not playing the ball... I would've supported a DPI." ESPN/ABC rules analyst Matt Austin on the Notre Dame-BYU finish. (There's also the question of the field clock, which showed 1 second remaining)

Blistering language from a federal magistrate in his ruling that Elon Musk and Kristi Noem smeared the reputation of FEMA's chief financial officer to justify the illegal firing of the career public servant.

Gen Keith Kellogg, Trump's original Ukraine envoy (the appointment was vetoed by Putin) says that Ukraine should ignore Trump's request and continue its bombardment of Russian refineries, pipelines and storage facilities.

Sure, just keep Bagent in. This is going really well.

The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.

Hundreds of family members of USS Arizona sailors who died in the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor will be on hand in Hawaii as the first caskets of 86 unknowns associated with the sunken ship are exhumed Dec. 7.

“…impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.”

“For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House…

Former VP Mike Pence: “President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.”

Trump: "If Republicans get in power, you're going to end up in a depression. These people are incompetent"

"It’s a cruel ending for a White Sox team that should largely be remembered for bringing joy back to the ballyard on the South Side of Chicago . . . But the reward for good seasons are usually cruel endings." Well written. #WhiteSox

Requiem of a team: White Sox fizzle in five, 2-0 www.southsidesox.com/chicago-whit...

I don’t care how it ended. The White Sox story was one of the best baseball stories of this century.

Things got more insane just about as soon as I posted this last night. DHS is now arguing that we cannot even put the names of ICE officers in our lawsuit against those officers. Their position is that, if a defendant works for DHS, they cannot be named in a lawsuit. Never seen anything like it.

In postseason history, teams playing winner-take-all games in their home ballpark have gone 70-68, including 19-22 in the Division Series

WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.

Brilliant video from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly talking about her "constituent" Zach Lahn, the Republican running for governor of IOWA who actually lives in Kansas. One of the most brutal political owns I've ever seen. Kudos to all involved.
