How are the words “hurricane” and “California” making their way into so many posts about Tropical Storm Rachel? The thing is forecast to have 40kt winds when it makes landfall in Mexico. Barely even a tropical storm. It is going to rain a lot though.

Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

I thought people were being dramatic, claiming others were lying about not hearing this song. 😂 I hadn’t until there were headlines about it breaking a record of some kind a week or so ago. I’ve now heard it 1/6th times. It’s… fine? Kinda like Texas. Been here 23 years. It’s fine.

I have terrible news for “I don’t watch the news”, “I don’t get political,” etc folks: apathy has demonstrably been the most impactful political stance of our, your parents’, and your grandparents’ times, and it’s never once worked out well.

We continue to post this partially because people get so hung up on tilt changing 😂 Maybe next year we’ll introduce “relative to the Sun” to let people relax. Such drama.

Today’s Fall Equinox at 8:05 pm ET marks the start of astronomical fall in the N. Hemisphere and is when the Sun is directly over Earth’s equator. Now through the Winter Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere will receive less ad less direct sunlight as Earth continues along its tilted orbit.
