Note the two layers of columnar lava rock. Recall the Devil s Causeway in Northern Ireland or Devil s Tower a couple of hundred miles to the east of Yellowstone in Wyoming. That Devil was a hard working demon.

The very word carries a strong revulsion in them, enough to cause right wingers and even some centrists to recoil in horror. In common usage, the word is almost spat out of \[ \] ## [The smallest units of sensemaking, and other hypnopompics](https://tamsenwebster.substack.com/p/the-smallest-units-of-sensemaking) _2026-07-23 · Tamsen Webster · The Sensegiver_ Also: everything happens for a reason (if chance counts); can insight be primed?; why is a facade the strongest part (!?); and what we lose when we let AI think for us. ## [Tornado Simulation](https://ljwestrumconsulting.com/2026/07/20/tornado-simulation/) _2026-07-21 · gaussling · Lamentations on Chemistry_ Being retired and an avid YouTube viewer I recently blundered into a group of videos presenting supercomputer simulations of tornado formation and evolution.

A pet peeve of mine is the wanton and extravagant overuse of the word massive. It seems to me that the word should be limited to physical things that have mass or weight. We can all agree that Mt. Everest or an asteroid is massive, you know, dense and heavy. But what \[ \] ## [What if your proof isn't enough for them?](https://tamsenwebster.substack.com/p/positionality-epistemology) _2026-07-16 · Tamsen Webster · The Sensegiver_ "Positionality": Agree on the standard and how far it holds ## [The Trump Coup d’Etat Shifts Into Low Gear](https://ljwestrumconsulting.com/2026/07/15/the-trump-coup-detat-shifts-into-low-gear/) _2026-07-16 · gaussling · Lamentations on Chemistry_ Search results from Googling $350 billion attack on communism - House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for an additional $350 billion in military spending for the Pentagon, on top of an already approved record-breaking $1.1 trillion defense budget.
