Texas becomes first state to mandate students read the Bible in public schoolTexas' Republican-led board of education approved Bible-infused school standards on Friday, making Christianity a part of classroom instruction for 5.5M public school students.www.statesman.com

@professorgerdes.bsky.social When will the Germans be "sold" some rights to the Ukrainian rare Earth minerals? Another strategic defeat for US if this happens, but why would you "partner" with someone who doesn't support you?

First #NSF project pitch submitted. Likely the start of a long, but fruitful journey.

I was disappointed in 2018 when Rahmbo took Chicago out of the World Cup host city running. Mostly because of the opportunity to see a second WC in the US. However, Rahm was right and here are the receipts. www.nytimes.com/athletic/731...

The Chicago mayor who said ‘no’ to the World Cup – a dome on Soldier Field was the last straw (Gift Article)Rahm Emanuel thought the proposed deal left 'Chicago taxpayers as the dumb money at the table'. Eight years on, he hasn't changed his mindwww.nytimes.com

Just spent an hour enlightening my wife about the creative genius of Angine de Poitrine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi... She doesn't get it. I'll take the blame for that.

Second day in a row that there's a daytime power outage in the neighborhood and I'm the only one who has solar and battery here in Austin. Have been in meetings and zoom calls all day and not a blip of a problem. I'm sure that this won't be the last unintended benefit!

Illini in the Final Four!! LFG!!

I'm all for bailing on something I really want, but am disgusted with the FIFA leadership and obviously one of the host country's chaotic leadership.

Texas power grid is currently 70% sourced from renewable energy, primarily wind and solar. This is unusually high, but the work done a decade or two ago is paying off today. Ending support for green tech will show up negatively a decade or two from now.

Caught this little gem recently in Austin Texas. Solar eclipse ND filter and some patience.

Interesting move by University of Illinois to buy a building in Chicago instead of building a brand new building. This location is also close to Union Station, where trains originate for travel to Champaign. www.chicagobusiness.com/commercial-r...
