Ice storm predicted for today. Up to an inch thick. Have studs, will can travel, but will stay off the roads.
Had some brutally cold weather since last Friday. Temperatures dropped to 12° Saturday morning and the daytime temperatures have hovered around 20° ever since. Currently 19° and the freezing rain is due around noon.
Shortly after the 2009 right-wing coup, the pirates in charge of the new Honduran government immediately set about selling off parts of the country in order to enrich themselves. One of their ideas was (ZEDE) Zone for Employment and Economic Development.
Science, in its quest for understanding the world around us, both within and without the human condition, has made great strides forward in developing techniques to better help us comprehend the complex structure and pathology of the human brain. One of these advancements are organoids.
Organoids are 3D cell cultures derived from pluripotent stem cells that mimic the structure, function, and cellular complexity of human organs. These in vitro, miniaturized versions of organs are especially well suited for studying complex multicellular organ structures, such as the brain, retina, kidney, and lungs, and are now widely used to study organ development and disease.
Recently scientists have for the first time grown mini-brains from fetal brain tissue that are about the size of a grain of rice. Tiny brains were previously grown from fetal stem cells but now, for the first time, from actual fetal brain tissue, opening exciting possibilities for the future.
The world is in flux. Things are changing as the balance of power shifts from West to East. In a desperate bid to maintain US hegemony, there are efforts to stir up both an Iranian conflict and use Taiwan as Ukraine 2.0. There is push back. There are massive protests in Germany as farmers and truckers join forces to demand their government serve the needs of their people rather than Ukraine. South Africa's case against Israel's genocide in Gaza made it to court this week dealing another blow to western hegemony. Things are indeed in a state of flux....hopefully for the better.
(11 min) St. George's great routine on time...
The U.S. finally suspended military aid to Ukraine today.
In one important way, this happened too late.
Oops, they broke the pot, now they are asking us to trust them to rebuild it?

Afternoon folks!
There's some great blues in store for you all this week! Starting off, there's a double album from Muddy Waters fronting a super group on a half-studio, half-live album, following that there's a compilation album of Champion Jack Dupree's New Orleans piano blues and the blues selections finish off with a compilation album of Sun Records recordings from the 50's/60's with some great stuff from Billy "The Kid" Emerson, Rosco Gordon and a bunch of much lesser-known artists.
After that we've got blues-rock albums this week from Johnny Winter and a live album from DC blues band The Nighthawks. Finishing off there's a rock and roll album from noted Texas blues singer Lou Ann Barton.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Two weeks ago, If you were to ask me what the deep state is I would've said it's the MIC and the government that continues regardless of who is elected. I'd mention lifelong employees, revolving door lobbyists, etc.
