Watching @npbowlin’s report on unplugged oil wells spontaneously flooding homes in Oklahoma, having that feeling there's so much happening, at any given time, that exists entirely outside our systems to know it (except ppl like nick do help us know it)

Interesting how the national debt panic (and the beltway groups that fulminated about it) vanished - even though the total debt has more than doubled since the 2011 debt ceiling wars.
Great @RichardRubinDC story, WSJ A1, no discourse! wsj.com/economy/u-s-debt-top…

The Las Vegas on the right uses the same amount of water as the Las Vegas on the left. As far as what happens, a farming family in the Imperial Valley gets paid handsomely to not use their CO River water to grow alfalfa and melons.
