Tide predictions for 2026 in southeast Florida feature two primary peaks centered on the new and full moons on October 10 and 26. Note that tide predictions are only astronomical/climatological in nature, and do not account for actual weather or ocean conditions which can be significant. [1/3] 🌊🧪

It’s 2026 and it’s still the Gulf of Mexico, the Department of Defense, and the Kennedy Center.

There is some *really gross* homophobia / transphobia going on in many online spaces in reaction to the recent #StrangerThings episodes ....
So stupid, honestly.
Just let people enjoy the shows they like, and go about your day enjoying the shows you like.
It's really not that hard!

That privilege--the privilege to speak of your religious beliefs as certainties that are incontestable--is given to Christians alone in America. And anyone else knows this and tiptoes around it, reflexively.
But what if we stopped doing that, like this guy did in North Dakota?

For no apparent reason, I tried to make an Aussie meat pie.

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

I got my Blundstone boots in 1998 when I visited Australia. Still going strong.
Just got my daughter a pair for Christmas.
If mine are any indication, she could still be wearing these in 2052!

@planetmoney.bsky.social The Planet Money Game made an excellent Christmas gift!
I got a nice case that holds all the cards/pieces.
One question: is the discard pile face up or down? It makes a difference when discarding from deals as it reveals or hides strategy.
