o really? the stolen valor of these so-called "meteor"-ologists is on FULL DISPLAY

"As a meteorologist, you can think of it this way: we didn’t “forecast” the meteor. We diagnosed it after the fact using satellite flashes, lightning-mapper data, radar signatures, eyewitness reports, and eventually NASA’s analysis."

Which it’s the Patrick O’Brian QOTD, concerning unorthodox uses of shells

The arrival of Admiral Snape and Captain Hallowell to eat their mutton with the Aubreys cut the conversation short, but it was not a great while before Stephen was on the subject once again. Sophie had whispered him to join her early, and as the three sailors were intent upon fighting St Vincent over again, shot by shot, it was not at all difficult for him to come away to the drawing-room while they were setting nutshells up in line of battle, and to come away with the certainty of a long, quiet interval before him.

Which it’s the #PatrickOBrian quote of the day, concerning wagers on war and peace. #AubreyMaturin

Madam,’ replied Stephen, ‘I repeat that I know nothing of the Stock Exchange: I could not readily distinguish between a bull and a bear. I only say that if your friends’ advice is based upon their persuasion that peace is to be concluded within the next few days, then you should perhaps reflect that they may be mistaken.’

Which it’s the Patrick O’Brian quote of the day, concerning straits and other matters.

The sailors, happy to be released from Fallopian tubes and biliary concretions, spoke of sperms they had seen within the Straits, Jonahs they had known, the horrible fate of ships in which Jonahs had sailed, and Jack’s party ended in an even more civilized way, moving from the sea to the land – plays seen, balls attended, and a furlong by furlong account of a fox-chase in which Mowett and Mr Ferney’s hounds would certainly have come up with their quarry if he had not plunged into a field-drain as darkness came on.

Trying something new. Which it's the Patrick O'Brian Quote of the Day:

‘My hands have now regained the moderate ability they possessed before I was captured,’ observed Maturin, ‘but his have gone on to a point I never thought he could reach: his hands and his mind. I am amazed. In his own way he is the secret man of the world; but I wish his music were happier.’

This Edsall piece argues as if No Kings has a youth motivation problem, but these data points suggest to me that this movement is succeeding in capturing older voters. (Which is to say the most valuable age demographic of voters.) I really don't see the problem here. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/o...
