What's next after a court blocked Texas' gerrymandered maps
www.texastribune.org
... After a panel of three federal judges ruled 2-1 on Tuesday that Texas cannot use its new congressional map for next year's election, all eyes turned to the U.S. Supreme Court, which will decide whether to allow the ruling to stand.
The judges ordered Texas to instead use the map it drew in 2021, which favors Republicans but not as aggressively as the 2025 map.
What happens next will likely unroll in two key steps. First, the state is expected to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to temporarily pause the ruling, which would allow Texas to use the more recent map while the appeal plays out.
Then, they will ask the high court to rule on the merits of the case -- did Texas disenfranchise voters of color when redrawing its maps this year?
With the Dec. 8 filing deadline approaching quickly, an initial short-term pause could still have significant implications for which map Texas holds its 2026 elections under.
The request will go first to Justice Samuel Alito, a conservative member of the court who handles emergency petitions from Texas, but it would likely take a majority of the court to decide to pause the court's ruling.
Whatever happens, it will need to happen quickly. Texas' 30-day candidate filing period began on Nov. 8, meaning candidates have less than three weeks to decide what seats they are running for. To do so, they need to know whether the state will be using the map drawn over the summer, or the map drawn in 2021. ...

Investigators Think They've Solved the Mystery of the Baltimore Bridge Crash
www.scientificamerican.com
... A tiny, misplaced label on the ship that hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore in 2024 may have caused the catastrophic crash that killed six people, U.S. officials revealed on Tuesday. ...
Investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have reported that a small label wrapped around a critical wire that was plugged into one of the many terminal boxes on the cargo ship had, over the course of years, caused the wire to come loose, tripping a breaker and causing the initial power outage on the ship.
"This tragedy should have never occurred," said Jennifer Homendy, chair of the NTSB, said at a board meeting on Tuesday, according to the New York Times.
The report also found that the Dali's crew had responded appropriately to the emergency. Because of the ship's size and uncontrollable drifting, however, the crew's actions to try to prevent the crash were ultimately futile. ...

I'd rather crawl through poison ivy
or grab high tensions wires
cut my legs off at the knees
or set myself on fire
Than have to feel your charms
closing in around me
or feel your slimy kisses covering my body
Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste
I'd rather stick my tongue into a vat
drink ex-lax all day long
or have to chew on razor blades
or give head to king kong
Than have to be between the sheets with you for any time
or have to feel your scaly flesh moving onto mine
Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste
Bridge
Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face

your love is like a nuclear waste
