From Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives
September 17 at 7 pm PT for this year‘s Rosenbluth Lecture with Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks, who will be speaking about their new book Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us. Linda needs no introduction as one of Canada’s top journalists and progressive commentators. Neil is a lawyer and academic, and his work was extremely influential to me when I was starting out as a progressive economist. They will be available to chat and sign…
One of my biggest disappointments was always not seeing Rush live while Neil Peart was alive. I almost passed on this tour, but tickets for the second Cleveland show came down in price at the last moment and I realized that I'd never forgive myself if I didn't go. So after leaving work early and braving the downtown Cleveland traffic I actually managed to find on street parking and go see one of the best concerts that I've ever been to.
I thought the first set was amazing. …
#whatImReading is Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s Take Me To Your Leader. It’s all his take on the old UFO/ET business. Mildly amusing. He covers the history and all the ins and outs of UFOlogy.

NASA-Weltraumteleskop Swift: Rettungsmission nach Rekordvorbereitung gestartet
Das Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory sinkt zu schnell ab und würde bald abstürzen. Ein Raumschiff soll es deshalb wieder anheben und wurde jetzt gestartet.
NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory
is a satellite that studies gamma-ray bursts,
the most powerful explosions in the universe,
and other cosmic objects and events.
Swift houses three multiwavelength telescopes, collecting data in visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray light.
All spacecraft in low Earth orbit experience slight drag from our planet’s atmosphere.
If they don’t have propulsion systems to maintain their orbits,
the drag gradually…

Vor dem unvermeidbaren Absturz: NASA-Weltraumteleskop Swift forscht wieder
Das Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory wird nicht gerettet. Deshalb hat die NASA die Instrumente an Bord wieder aktiviert, auch wenn das den Absturz beschleunigt.
On Monday afternoon, the U.S. Supreme Court
— on a 5-4 vote
— cleared the way for Trump’s ballroom construction to proceed on White House grounds
despite no congressional authorization for the action,
holding that the nonprofit organization that sued likely did not have standing to do so.
The unsigned, “per curiam” order issued on behalf of Justices Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett
held that the National Tru…

NASA’s Neil Gehrels #Swift Observatory has resumed operating two of its three science instruments, following the scaling back of a commercial mission that would have boosted it to a higher orbital altitude: https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/08/28/nasas-swift-restarts-science-observations/ - that mission is now focused on demonstrating rendezvous technologies for in-space servicing.
