Flying from Mississippi to Hawaii yesterday it was mostly clear until we got about 300 miles out from the islands. Scattered clouds became a layer at 22k feet that we skimmed across the top of. Checking satellite imagery it turned out to be an extended band from Hurricane Nolo. After crossing through that there were just smaller puffy clouds that looked interesting as we landed as the sun was setting in Kauai. Time lapse below:
Polo's been a Category 5 hurricane for a total of 48 hours so far, longer than any other Category 5 hurricane on record for the Northeastern Pacific. 2026 also just tied 1997 and 1994 for the most Category 5 hours in a single season and should be the new recordholder by tonight.
CNN reports Trump is so worried about Democrats winning the election that his "outside advisors" are telling him to declare martial law.
Scary shit and we need to be ready.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

BREAKING: Trump, when privately asked not to go to war with Iran just four days before it started on Feb 28 says "Yes, you’re right. But in the end, we all die anyway. So it doesn’t matter," per Tucker Carlson in a new NPR interview.
Tucker responded "but what about our kids and our grandkids and like our country?" Trump said "Ah" and did not respond.
He also said Trump agreed that the war was not about the nuclear file and was being pushed by Israel for regional hegemony, to weaken the GCC, and to push US bases out.
Before this year, the Pacific had a Category 5 and a Category 4 at the same time once. In 1997.
It's now happened twice in one month.
September 2, and right now.
This is what a record El Niño does to the Pacific.
Hawaii's Big Island is the one to watch this weekend, mostly for flooding rain.
This new footage from inside the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Polo at peak intensity is probably the most insane video of a Pacific Hurricane that’s ever been recorded.
An 892 MBAR Stadium Effect surrounded by sheer walls of 180 MPH sustained winds and 220+ MPH gusts.
Unreal.
Unbelievable.

Even more remarkable is that the average American has no idea this is happening. Yet.
The bond market is imploding in front of our eyes.
Netanyahu:
➖"Naziler Yahudilerden nazikçe gitmelerini mi istedi? 'Lütfen gidin mi?' dediler... Bunu yapan var mı? 'Çıkın da içeri girelim mi?' dediler, tabii ki hayır."
Bu konuşmasıyla kendisinin de Nazi olduğunu kendi ağzıyla itiraf etmiş oldu.
BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis announce they struck Saudi Aramco oil facilities at Yanbu and a sensitive site in Riyadh with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.
The Yanbu strike comes within hours of Macron announcing France will deploy soldiers, radars and air defence systems to protect that exact facility, and days after the UK promised limited military support to Saudi Arabia.
