Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - September 22, 2026![]() Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. On time, as always. Open thread, as always. Ready to be whelmed? Big Penguin was hiding something Scientists discover first new penguin species in more than 100 years Antarctica's four-foot-tall Emperor penguin may be the best-known member of the penguin family, but it is far from alone. Seventeen other penguin species live across the Southern Hemisphere, and many inhabit isolated islands that are difficult for scientists to reach and study. That remoteness may help explain how an entire species of gentoo penguin escaped recognition for so long. The birds live on the Kerguelen Islands, known in French as the Desolation Islands, nearly 2,000 miles from any permanently inhabited landmass. An international team led by researchers in Chile and at the University of California, Berkeley has now identified the population as a distinct species, making it the first new penguin species named in more than 100 years. The findings were published in Communications Biology. *** The newly recognized southeastern gentoo penguin, Pygoscelis kerguelensis, may face an uncertain future. Two of the other newly defined species could also be vulnerable as global warming reshapes the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions where they live. The southern gentoo, now known as Pygoscelis ellsworthi, is the only one of the four that lives in Antarctica. Climate projections suggest it may be affected relatively little and could even expand its range. "In Antarctica, of course, other species, not the gentoo, are threatened by climate change," said Juliana Vianna, one of the paper's senior authors and a professor of ecosystems and environment at Andrés Bello National University in Santiago, Chile.Of course - climate doom and gloom threatens them. But maybe there's a solution! Record-breaking carbon capture plant to snatch 800K tons of CO2 a year Norwegian chemical company Yara has inaugurated the largest industrial carbon capture facility in all of Europe this week. Set up at the company's ammonia and fertilizer plant in Sluiskil, the Netherlands, it can capture 800,000 tons of CO2 per year. That carbon dioxide comes from its ammonia production process. Once it's captured, it's liquified, temporarily stored in those large white tanks you see in the photos, and subsequently transported by ship to Norway. This last bit is handled by Norwegian CO2 transport firm Northern Lights, which stores its cargo in a reservoir 8,530 ft (2,600 m) beneath the seabed.Burying tanks of CO2 like it's toxic waste. These people are lunatics! Back to new species... Meet the Adorable and Tiny Tilcayo, the First Brand-New Cat Species Identified in More Than a Century ![]() For the first time in more than 100 years, scientists have identified a new species of wild cat. The diminutive feline, dubbed the tilcayo, lives in the Bolivian Yungas, the cloud forest where the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains meet the Amazon basin. It’s smaller than a house cat, weighing just three to four pounds, and has large, irregularly shaped rosettes dotting its light brown fur.How long until these kitties are threatened by the climate boogeyman? ----- AI is asshoe. Government is asshoe. Together? Yeah - ASSHOE!!!!! Hundreds of Flights Grounded Across the Eastern Seaboard as Government Rolls Out AI Air Traffic Control System Hundreds of flights across New Jersey, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston were delayed Monday afternoon after the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a massive ground stop impacting thousands of travelers — right as the government starts testing an AI air traffic control system, though there’s no current indication that the two incidents are connected. According to early reporting by Reuters, over 600 flights were delayed across Newark and Philadelphia alone, in addition to hundreds more across four other east coast airports. Dozens of imminent takeoffs were likewise aborted across the busy flight corridor when the ground stops — which appeared to roll northward from Philadelphia — were issued. Preliminary reports indicate some sort of air traffic control glitch at one of the major airports along the East Coast, with Bloomberg TV reporting a circuit malfunction at an air traffic control facility in Philadelphia, and Reuters noting that a fiber optics cable was accidentally clipped in New Jersey. Meanwhile, the BBC reports that Boston’s Logan International Airport is warning travelers to expect extensive delays due to broad “equipment issues across the north-east.” As one FAA spokesperson told CBS21, the ground stop is due to “issues with some frequencies at Philadelphia TRACON,” also known as Terminal Radar Approach Control, the radar system that guides planes in and out of airports. At the time of writing, it isn’t exactly clear what’s behind the turmoil. What is clear is that the region’s air traffic control system is a tangled mess — and unfortunately, this could just be a sign of things to come. Strikingly, the massive air traffic outage comes right as the Trump administration moves ahead with a controversial AI air traffic control system known as “Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories,” or SMART."SMART"??? Really??? ----- Maybe we're not alone Radio signals detected from a planet beyond our Solar System Researchers have captured direct radio wave emissions originating from a planet outside our Solar System. Using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope array, an international team of astronomers successfully detected variable radio bursts coming directly from Beta Pictoris b, a massive gas giant exoplanet located about 63 lightyears away. But while many of us may hear of radio signals detected at a distant planet in our Galaxy and instinctively imagine a detection of alien life, in this case the discovery is not a sign that E.T. has been detected.Or maybe we are! ----- These people are exhausting. >She/her is hired to cater a wedding. >She/her shows up with a rainbow flag like it’s her own personal pride parade. The couple asks her to kindly put it away. >She/her then tries to publicly shame them for “homophobia”.Video at the link. Yeah - it's annoying.

Using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope array, an international team of astronomers successfully detected variable radio bursts coming directly from Beta Pictoris b, a massive gas giant exoplanet located about 63 lightyears away. --------- The South African government must provide heavy security to keep the locals from stealing all the copper and electronics, and raping and murdering the operators. I'm guessing they required that an ignorant African tribesman be put in nominal charge of the operation, and that they receive substantial payments of protection money.

But while many of us may hear of radio signals detected at a distant planet in our Galaxy and instinctively imagine a detection of alien life, in this case the discovery is not a sign that E.T. has been detected.
It's easy to imagine that our radio and television signals have been intercepted. And that alien cultures are examining them. However, we're not going to get the Thermians from "Galaxy Quest."

>> It's easy to imagine that our radio and television signals have been intercepted.
That's not really as easy as some of the popular notions would have, due to the inverse square law and signal to noise. If you imagine the limits of detection set by the laws of physics on signal to noise and all that, the limit for our "routine" isotropic leakage, radio, TV, etc is about 10 light years. Now, we've sent out some more powerful beams, such as military radar, very tight directional cones. The limits for those are maybe a couple hundred lights years for some receiver that happened to be in the beam. The most powerful signals we've ever mustered have come from some of the planetary radar ranging done with the non-defunct Arecibo dish. They could, in theory, be detected up to thousands, maybe 10K light years tops for somebody in the beam. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 22, 2026 10:40 PM (w6EFb) 112

CO2 is one of the building blocks of plant life. Malthusians came up with the idea of global warming because they want fewer people on earth.

Posted by: JackStraw at September 22, 2026 10:35 PM Yes, that question will definitely be asked in the future. Roughly 8-9 million people starve to death every year. IMO, the production of cereal grains around the world is by far the most important "weather controlled" event for preventing human deaths. Rice and wheat are massively benefitting from the increased levels of CO2. And will still benefit with further increases. Corn is a C4 plant. It too, is benefitting from higher CO2 levels, but the benefit of future CO2 increases will only be slight. Adding all of the deaths from floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, lightning strikes, avalanches, glacier collapses in Tibet, etc. typically does not get much over 100,000. The deaths from cold weather outweigh the deaths from hot weather. In conclusion: yes, those people are retards. Posted by: Pillage Idiot at September 22, 2026 10:52 PM (HlyYF) 143

Beta Pictoris is a very young A type star, about 1.8 solar masses. Very young, but it will remain on the main sequence maybe a smidge less than 2 billion years. That's less than half the time for the Sun to go red giant from now. The more massive a star, the quicker it forms, and the quicker it dies. And life, at least as we know it, or conceive of it, likely can't exist around A stars anyway. They are to bright, throw off too much UV, and the habitable zone gets pushed way out. While you can calculate a habitable zone for them, they throw off so much UV that the range where UV wouldn't be too strong can push it out even farther. G and K stars are likely the ones for life, and there's a debate over which is really better. Lots of complex stuff. Life might develop around lighter F stars, but that's a much longer shot.

...Food historian Ivan Day, who has tried to replicate the revellers' cooking techniques, says it would take over 24 hours to roast the animal in front of a fire. A single animal could have fed 800 people. Mutton was also served - both in slices and in mince pies.
Tea, coffee and hot chocolate were on sale. But alcohol permeated the occasion. Ginger bread vendors sold cups of gin. A particularly strong gin was called Old Tom - records describe it as "incredibly ardent". There was Purl - a mix of gin and wormwood wine, similar to vermouth. It was drunk hot and "you'd get absolutely wrecked on it", Day says. There was also a "very spiky" beer called Mum infused with spices similar to a winter ale. The tents - made out of sails and propped up with oars - were called "fuddling tents" for the ruinous effect of the strong liquor. https://tinyurl.com/yebtpnh9 Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 22, 2026 11:17 PM (xHEjv) 178

We have hit peak fall color here, lots of beautiful golds and a few hot reds, and there are birch leaves on my car every morning. I expect a hard freeze any day now, although so far it hasn't dipped into the 30s. Lots of termination dust (snow) on the tops of the mountains.
I've pulled all the carrots and most of the potatoes, the beans are long done, the lettuce has bolted and the flowers are fading. The raspberries have been picked and frozen, the strawberries the same. In about three weeks I will be putting up soups for the year. Probably ham and bean, chicken veggie rice, chicken tortilla, beef veggie, maybe some italian beef. I have managed to put up the veggies so far in the camper kitchen, but I'm not going to do soup until I have a real kitchen in place. We eat very well from cheap chicken and beef cuts, put up as soups, for the entire year from what I grow in the garden and greenhouse, including herbs. I have a ton of dill, which makes the best smoked salmon spread and some really good pickles. Basil, oregano, thyme fill out the rest. Life is good.

The biggest pro for K stars is there very long life, median maybe 45 billion years, with a range of 15 to 70ish billion. Call it 5x the lifetime of the Sun. But the habitable zone is closer, and narrower. As you go up the mass and luminosity scale, the habitable zone, the Goldilocks zone moves but gets wider. Going the other way, it moves in and gets narrower. Being closer means the potential life bearing planet is closer to danger from a big flare or CME.

Young stars are sort of like young humans, they throw tantrums and hissy fits occasionally. When a star is first "born", right at lighting up the H fusion and going on the main sequence, think of it as toddler. It throws tantrums of flares and CMEs. Then it gets into the teenaged years, and then into adulthood where it finally settles down. Young stars spin fast and have larger magnetic fields, which drives the tantrums and outbursts. The longer the lifetime of a star, the longer the toddler and teenage years gets stretched out. Long life, but longer volatile periods at the beginning.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) ---- I understand (due to immune deficiency) that it's not good to be exposed to those potential pathogens/parasites of *fresh* raw fish, but what about the deep-freeze process? I think CBD posted about it, some years back... Sub-zero temps for (?) days, in order to killoff the baddies. Sure, I think texture would be affected. Maybe flavor too, but would that be safe enough to indulge-- IF you could be sure of the processing? Posted by: JQ at September 23, 2026 01:07 AM (rdVOm) 256
The base star classification based on color temp goes O, B, A, F, G, K, M (with minor subranges with numbers and Roman numerals and some other things). Our sun is a G2V star. A mnemonic for remember that is "Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me". As you might imagine, the feminists don't like that, even though it was a woman (Annie Jump Cannon) who came up with. One of these harpies tried to change it to "Only Boys Accepting Feminism Get Kissed Meaningfully". This hasn't caught on.

Posted by: JQ at September 23, 2026 01:43 AM (rdVOm) 266
Just got back from my Tuesday night read-academic-papers-and-work-on-OSS-at-the-local-bar. I've missed a few weeks due to vacations and other commitments, so it's nice to get back into the routine.
Tried out a new Argentinian restaurant with fancy wine and empanadas. It was great! The wine was almost as expensive as the entree though. The bartender was really excited about having some beers on tap made with fresh hops. If you drive to Salem in August with the windows down, you can smell all the hop fields. To be honest I'm not sure I could tell what made the wine or the beer so special. They were both delicious though! Posted by: frammish at September 23, 2026 01:44 AM (rcENI) 267
I've been doing these Tuesday nights for a few years now, and I still don't know the bar's wifi password. It's nice to have no distractions. But you can't run Claude without Internet. Actually it feels good to think on my own. All my customers want me to vibe code as fast as possible. Of course I'm also still responsible for what I commit. . . . But Tuesday nights are for me, not for them, and fun > productive. Maybe working slow will also retard my brain turning to mush.

T = 00:05:13Z, 8:05:13 PM EDT. We have Equinox, the moment of Crossing. At this moment, the Sun's ecliptic longitude is dead on 180 degrees, and Right Ascension is 12 hours exactly. That's a wrap for Summer 2026, which clocked in at 93 days, 15 hours, and 40 minutes. Astronomical Fall begins.
And, this is a perfect equinox, turns out. The Erf doesn't follow the mean ecliptic of date around the Sun perfectly -- close enough for government work, but the Moon causes a little bobbing up and down and weaving back and forth. All that just happened to zero out this time around To within 0.1 arcseconds the Sun's ecliptic latitude is 0, and the declination is 0 as well. The center of the Sun is dead on the celestial equator. The last perfect such seasonal alignment was the summer solstice of 2025.

From Lesbian Bar Finally Relaxed:
"The people running the bar were accused of being ableist -- eugenicist, even -- for relaxing their signature policy in the face of what commenters consider an ongoing pandemic (Greenfield hasn't reported any COVID cases in more than two months)." -- Boston Globe Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 05:50 PM 12 Eugenicist??? So who wants to tell the lesbians? Posted by: ... at September 22, 2026 05:57 PM (XZdZ5) Thank you!!! That was the one part that bothered me the most. I don't even care that the mob is engaged in mass psycho-social abuse of the bar owner. Xe probably hates my people and wants to erase our distinctive faith, culture, and features from the face of the Earth. But words mean things, and it is not possible to be eugenicist against a bar full of genetic dead ends. If everyone there is a Darwinian failure, you could firebomb the whole venue on a packed Saturday night and not affect the gene pool, which they had already pre-removed themselves from. I don't care about any of the people involved, who are all horrible and probably deserve worse. But words matter, and I hate to see them abused like that.

There were storms. I brought in my emergency cat litter box. They're both outdoor cats. Currently downstairs. I've kept them in last winter. Good cats. Don't damage anything. My friends have a big young family. Outdoor cats. I have a big house and am alone. So they're welcome. This may be how the crazy starts...

I used to have a herd of elk at my house spring and fall on their way to and from winter/summer grounds. They surrounded the house, fifty, perhaps more.
Once the dog had to go out, and I called the vet for advice. She said she had plenty of deer/dog incidents, but never elk/dog. So I let him out. He was a Bouvier, a herding breed. It was probably the best day of his life. He strutted up and down, saying My Herd. My Herd. The elk didn't care. They lifted their heads and went back to grazing. After a few hours, one old lady trotted off and the rest followed. Posted by: Wenda at September 22, 2026 08:35 PM (zGeQ7) 64

Saw a lovely cow moose along the road last Thursday. The smart ones stay by the roads this time of year--hunting season. You can't shoot them within some number of yards from a public road, so they are safe there.
Once it snows, probably in a couple of weeks, we will see plenty of moose in the yard. There's one older mama moose who hangs out in our side acre, and then the boys start lining up for her to ignore. But she always has a calf in the spring, so somebody is getting the nookie.

Fox News: The Laughing Cow ditches iconic smile and teases cheese shoppers with cryptic message on packaging
Bel Brands says the somber new look is temporary and the mystery behind the mascot's mood shift will unravel soon. (On package under the somber-faced cow, it says "We Need to Talk") Bel Brands stressed that the new expression is not a permanent logo or packaging change. Once consumers learn why the mascot stopped laughing, the company said it is confident she will eventually smile again and the packaging and social media channels will return to the joyful expression shoppers have known for more than a century. She strangled her calves, didn't she? And once she's found not guilty, she'll go back to laughing and smiling. Posted by: Admiral Ackbar at September 22, 2026 08:37 PM (XxBX3) 69

Most European security analysts can pick another job since they were totally wrong on how the Greenland crisis was solved.
Had a lovely conversation with some woman on X. She said that Trump, she called him the Orange Pedo, had said that he was going to invade Greenland. I pointed out that he specifically said that no force would be used. She countered with "you can say things without saying them". I suggested that she was a lunatic, wished her a happy life, and blocked her. Life is too short to have constant saving throws versus insanity.

- Mic-dropped failed globalist leaders: while others talked peace, he MADE peace
- Vowed Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon and said the Middle East bully is finished --- That's just it. The UN resolved that Iran should not have nuclear weapons but has more and more wimped out on that. Trump has made peace, Trump has enforced a safeguard the UN probably only wants to talk about. That's why it doesn't matter how doctrinaire a conservative Trump is to me. He does stuff. (I still kinda wish he hadn't started with Iran--unless it was indeed necessary.)

And that every single expert sneered he'd never get. And of course John Cornyn whines after, "but did it have to come at the cost of diplomacy?" Greenland is now a protectorate of the US. We control the Arctic on both sides of Russia. We control the Panama Canal, pushing China out. I think I saw it pointed out, we now control 6 of the 7 major chokepoints in the world.

Netanyahu's turn tomorrow.
Reuters, 'Netanyahu says he will 'tell the truth' on Israel's actions at United Nations' In part, "JERUSALEM, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he would use his speech at the United Nations this week to defend Israel's military actions against the Palestinians, while accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of supporting Hamas. Netanyahu's comments were in response to remarks by the New York mayor, who told CNN on Monday that Netanyahu was a "war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people."

The amount of years it's going to take Americans to prove to the rest of the world that they can be trusted and respected again grows by the day, every day.
That's never happening again. The convicted felon and his minions have permanently broken all international trust when you consider the fact that the idiotic American voter could and would elect another asshole after 4 years. The world welcomed Germany back into the fold. It can happen for the US as well. What the fuck was that rambling verbal shite? Renaming AI? Annihilating Iran? All over the place. Dementia I thought the US already annihilated Iran 7 months ago in the war that definitely isn't a war? This is the most compelling evidence that the US has reached peak power some years ago and now is on the downward trajectory of the power bell curve. Like most empires our best days are behind us and we were only really relevant for just over 100 years.

The US veto on Greenland is important, but I think that was a major compromise by Trump.

"There is NO HUMAN RIGHT to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a SOVEREIGN NATION."
He's right. The Orange Haired Vulgarian is right quite a bit about his message. But who in the fuck is he talking to ? Because Asia and South American already know this. Hell ... try working in Canada as an American. You won't do it, without a paid Visa. While Canada imports as many from the Balkans and the Middle East and India and Africa as they can bring in. You know. Just like everywhere here that the Lutherans and Quakers dominate socially. This is what I wonder, more than anything, about Trump.

Which were our best days? Because they have been sneering for some 10 years now, "America never was great."
Its a fair question. Many here love them some 50s. Well, anyone born in the 1940 ... to be able to see and appreciate all those cool cars and art deco in the 1950s ? Have to be 86 right now.

Posted by: The Unvaxxed and Unmasked Ranger - FAP Certified at September 22, 2026 07:36 PM (fapp/) I don't think you understand how things work up here. Most of us live here for the summers, which are glorious, and while they only last about four months, there is sunlight all day and most of the night. Many of us like the winters, too, since there are lots of places up here to go on a snowmachine, go ice fishing, and really world class skiing, both downhill and cross country. Plus, salmon, moose, halibut, shrimp, and other hunting and fishing opportunities that fill the freezer. Folks generally get along, except for the idiot tweakers in Wasilla and the lefty Californicators in Anchorage. The rule about "don't be an asshole and all will be well" usually applies. Do you own thing, don't mess with my thing, and your rights end at the tip of your nose. People who can't get along usually move to the boonies and stay out of town. Works for everybody.

Scientists have long thought that tau, the protein that forms Alzheimer’s tangles, moves into the wrong parts of neurons as the disease develops. New research suggests the story starts much earlier because tau is actually made there in the first place.
So if neurons make tau It cannot be blocked The cost of tau-directed therapies is part of a growing market, which was valued at approximately USD 1,314.50 million in 2026 and is expected to reach around USD 6,534.16 million by 2035 Posted by: r hennigantx at September 22, 2026 07:48 PM (/+uur) 197

The Europeans are like children. They hate the US for maintaining order but they have very little to offer.
They spent, literally, the last 35 years trying to take down the US. the whole EU project was about taking down US. Kyoto on with global warming was about taking down US. Mass migration (here and there) was same. DataRepublican has a report (i have not read) about EU funding US antifa. Everything they do is to take down USA. They decided to stop fighting each other for a bit, and unite to fight the USA. This goes back to the anti-nuke protests from the 70s and 80s. All those people identify USA as their enemy just like a 13yo thinks their parents are the problem And they elevated that midget weasel up in canada and they hold him high because he fights the USA. What do they do if they win? China will chew them up and shit them out like feral cat hot pot.

Obviously, war veterans have lied about their experiences throughout time.
This is something that we have to remember every time we are asked to remember our veterans. Not every story about our veterans is a story of glory. That would be too simplified. But, at the end of the day, the American soldier is probably on net, the most force for good on record. Which, in a round about way, is another way of saying that the descendants of African slaves; ie today's African Americans have benefited greatly from having been brought here. Which is something that no-one today wants to acknowledge. Posted by: LTG at September 22, 2026 09:04 PM (BeyMP) 217
