Put August 12 in your phone now. Genuinely.

Before sunrise, six planets spread across the sky. Afternoon, the eclipse. After dark, the Perseids Meteor shower.

Four events on one day, NASA says, and the new moon that same date keeps the sky dark enough to actually see the meteors.

You don't need a telescope for most of it. A field, a coat, and twenty minutes for your eyes to adjust.

I tried to cancel 4 subscriptions yesterday.

Three of them forced me to call, wait 45 minutes, and listen to a "retention specialist."

I hung up on the third one. Sent one email instead.

Federal regulators have already said the exit must match the entrance. Sign up online in two clicks? Cancel online in two clicks. No phone maze. No guilt trip.

They are just hoping you never quote it back to them.

Here is the sentence that ends the runaround:

[Voyageurs Wolf Project @VoyaWolfProject]

Without a doubt, our best trail camera capture yet: the first documented observation of a cougar with kittens in Minnesota in modern history. Turn up the volume to hear all the vocalizations.

The footage, which was captured on March 25, shows a cougar with 3 large kittens while they feed on a deer they killed just south of Voyageurs National Park.

We captured this surreal footage because we started a study to understand the survival and mortality patterns of deer in our area this winter. As part of that work, we GPS-collared several deer in the area in January. 

In late March, we received a mortality signal from a GPS-collared deer and found the carcass buried under a pile of leaves on a hillside—a tell tale sign of feline predation. 

We suspected it was likely a bobcat but thought, just possibly, it could be a cougar. So we put up two trail cameras on the cached deer carcass and 4 hours later, two cougar kittens returned to the kill.

The entire family showed up that evening and spent hours in front of our cameras. In total, we captured 7.3 hr (435 minutes) of video footage of these animals. We will share more footage soon!

Huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting the Voyageurs Wolf Project and the recent effort to understand deer survival in the area. Their support was critical to this observation—without it, we would never have captured this footage.

And huge thanks to the >10,600 donors who have supported our project and enabled us to purchase trail cameras supplies. The cameras (and batteries, SD cards, mounts) we set at this kill were purchased with funds from donations.

[IT Unprofessional @it_unprofession]

My boss just sent me a Slack message that says "hey do you have a sec?"

No context.

Just the digital equivalent of a tap on the shoulder before an execution.

I replied "sure, what's up?" two minutes ago.

The little indicator says he's typing.

He's been typing for three solid minutes.

What could possibly take three minutes to type?

Are we restructuring the entire org chart?

Am I being fired via a multi-paragraph manifesto?

I checked his calendar and he has a meeting with HR at noon.

My heart rate is currently higher than it was during my last stress test.

He finally hit send.

"Do you know how to convert a PDF to a Word doc?"

I'm going to bill the company for my future cardiology appointments.

[WindyCity Weather and News @WindyCityWxMan]

A shift in the threat for the immediate #Chicago metro area moving the enhanced threat well south of the city

For the #Cubs #OpeningDay no real change in thinking as pregame festivities see balmy 70° temps and wind blowing out, but by first pitch the cold front hits and Lake Michigan takes the mound throwing a cold curve ball with gusty really cold winds blowing in from right field. Show fans you’re smart if you’re going and dress for a #Bears November game.

And bring rain gear. They may not be able to finish this one dry unless they play fast. Rain should be over #WrigleyField by 4PM

As for the severe threat, hail remains the issue just about area wide, significant hail south of I-80 and the tornado risk pushed clear of Chicago and pretty much south of Kankakee to Peoria line and even more so into northern Indiana

Cold and windy area wide behind the front by mid afternoon and a chilly but dry Friday follows

Next week from mid week into #Easter is a window to watch for more severe settled weather in our region

#Spring is arriving!

CTU and allies are lobbying the state to have Illinois not opt into the new federal tax credit program that supports both public and private education for families. Estimates suggest as much as $1 billion could be made available to parents at no cost to the state.

The funds would go directly to both public and private school families for their children’s tuition, tutoring, special education and support for children with disabilities, early childhood education, dual enrollment, vocational education, and online educational materials. 

This is just the CTU’s latest effort to deprive low income parents, overwhelmingly Black and Latino, of any alternatives to failing neighborhood schools or other financial supports that the teacher union does not have control over.

Last year, the legislature caved to CTU pressure killing Illinois “Invest in Kids” scholarship program that took scholarships away from thousands of poor families and the CTU contract capped public charter school enrolment which offer the only education alternatives for most poor families. The result: closing private and parochial schools.

If Illinois refuses to participate in the federal “School Scholarship Initiative,” it will mark yet another surrender to special interests at the expense of Chicago and Illinois families. This would be a moral failure of the highest order.
