The Puzzled Editor: What is your title about, LL ?
The Crazy Cat: Understanding people. It is almost always just guessing. I think this is the answer for many decisions. I’m using sanctuary cities as an example. People vote for politicians that let teachers mutilate their children, watch their teenagers get killed daily, and let their schools graduate young adults who are functionally illiterate. The adults are getting taxpayer benefits to offset these obscene consequences to their children or maybe it is this.
They can’t think through how they wound up uneducated, poor, and with no hope for themselves or their children.
This happened during the hysterical days after Trump’s election. Do you remember the NASCAR nooses that turned out to be ropes used to pull garage doors down. FJB and them all.
Explanation: Earlier this month, the Sun exhibited one of the longer filaments on record. Visible as the bright curving streak around the image center, the snaking filament’s full extent was estimated to be over half of the Sun‘s radius — more than 350,000 kilometers long. A filament is composed of hot gas held aloft by the Sun’s magnetic field, so that viewed from the side it would appear as a raised prominence. A different, smaller prominence is simultaneously visible at the Sun’s edge. The featured image is in false-color and color-inverted to highlight not only the filament but the Sun’s carpetchromosphere. The bright dot on the upper right is actually a dark sunspot about the size of the Earth. Solar filaments typically last from hours to days, eventually collapsing to return hot plasma back to the Sun. Sometimes, though, they explode and expel particles into the Solar System, some of which trigger auroras on Earth. The pictured filament appeared in early September and continued to hold steady for about a week
