#SpaceX scrubbed because of bad weather at the drone ship landing site. They'll try again tomorrow morning.

A gala at former President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club for those who were incarcerated for their participation in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol has been postponed indefinitely ...
The #J6 Awards Gala ... was initially scheduled for Thursday at #Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, New Jersey. The event date is now “postponed” and the location and time are “to be announced,” the event’s website says.
From #CNN: To placate the angry mobs, #Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro decrees that Christmas will begin on October 1.
(Hopefully #Trump doesn't get wind of this ...)

From #CNN: Federal judge denies #Trump attempt to move his election interference conviction from New York state court to federal court.
“Private schemes with private actors, unconnected to any statutory or constitutional authority or function of the executive, are considered unofficial acts,” he wrote.

For #StarTrek fans mourning the loss of James Darren, I always remember him for his starring role in "The Time Tunnel."
On a 1960s TV budget, Irwin Allen and team created these incredible sets.

It's a local race, but I post this because it shows how Brevard County is moving even further to the extreme right. A Moms for Liberty activist defeated two mainstream Republicans for the county's District 1 commissioner seat nomination. She'll face a Democrat and a Libertarian in November.
The Libertarian called on the Democrat to drop out. He said no. (He probably said, "F*** you." That's what I'd say.)
Let's be clear ... You're not going to "space." The International Astronomical Union defines "space" as 100 km (62 miles). #NASA recognizes space as 50 miles (about 80 km). The balloon hopes to reach 100,000 feet, which is about 19 miles (30 km). You'll have a great view, but it's nowhere close to "space."
That time a group of journalist investors tried to start a town called Journalista, near what is today's City of Cape Canaveral.
(It did not end well.)
Better late than never, #HarrisWalz2024 will begin a #Florida campaign bus tour tomorrow with a stop in Palm Beach.
Recent polls have #Harris trailing #Trump in Florida by about five points. Hopefully opening a campaign front in the state tied to supporting the November pro-choice ballot initaitive will close the deficit.
From Tallahassee Democrat:
#Texas white supremacist militia group Patriot Front marched through Tallahassee on September 1, defacing public property. The locals cleaned up after them. The group is a splinter from the Charlottesville racists Trump called "fine people."
The head of the Florida Republican Party claims they were fake, staged by Democrats.
From the September 3, 1935 Fort Myers News-Press ... Am I the only one who thinks this was written as a racist sterotype?
"Heap big wind and rain"
Today's "This Modern World" by Tom Tomorrow on #DailyKos.
From #FloridaToday: Brevard Public Schools banned a manga graphic novel because a woman complained its contents would lead to "compulsive masturbation."
Looks like we in Florida can secure from red alert from now. Next weekend's wave is now forecast to weaken and head for the Yucatan. Anything behind that peels north into the Atlantic.
