These subtropical air masses that reach the PNW keep getting warmer and wetter as the climate warms as a whole. Yakima, WA has reached 70 degrees today, the only other 70+ in Dec was 72 on 12/1/2021. The atmospheric water vapor content is near record highs for Dec, increasing rainfall amounts.

This is genuinely revolting and might possibly qualify as the sin against the Holy Ghost.

Just a reminder that this Miami team lost to the Seattle Sounders 3-0 in Leagues Cup final.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

I call the US group “the group of teams that Cristian Roldan dominated.” Maybe Botafogo gets the last spot?

everybody is 12

the US is abandoning green energy at precisely the moment it is becoming not just a climate neccesity but also like a strategically important industry

This is how we all die.

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

there is an era-defining, future shaping, “where were you when it happened?” technological miracle emerging before our very eyes, and it’s not AI.

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely Hey, that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

This is probably the most depressing thing I’ve read today and I think it’s a sentiment shared by a lot of fans. It sucks that FIFA has decided to make the games so inaccessible to normal people.

Sweet Jesus go get another one and get Andy Thomas warm

Failed country.

probably won't make you happy to hear that Daniel Radford is the VAR

be sure to check your halloween candy, i just found a “be sure to check your halloween candy” meme from 2021 in my bag

Great new everyone they’re building the graven image from the commandment “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes. that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry. but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

sorry, man, but this is breathtakingly, shockingly corrupt in every fucking way it can be, and an open and shut and uncomplicated case for impeachment. he didn’t even pay for these lawyers, his donors did, for fuck’s sake.

The whole world wants batteries. The US doesn't want to make them. More genius energy policy. www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

the other thing i’ll say here is i am a bit frustrated with the narrative of online radicalization that treats it as akin to brainwashing. it lets individuals, families and communities off the hook for the choices they make and the environments they foster

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed

The legend returns! Every year I learn something from this thread that updates my priors.

If you missed this yesterday, it’s just as jaw-dropping a read today. The quotes are really something.

DoD has adopted this position wholesale now and frankly every commander who has done so needs to face an Article 32 hearing when this is over with, and any JAG who has gone along with it needs to be disbarred Big boy crimes need big boy consequences, at all levels of the chain

The Bread Carrier, by Pablo Picasso, 1905

Gonna be very funny come May/June when Sounders fans hit levels of "told you so" over Roldan that have rarely been seen. We're gonna need new gadgets to measure it.

great story, this chart RULES

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

look i'm just gonna say: everyone involved in this shit needs to go to jail

“You will make the playoffs… and never leave the playoffs”

Naked corruption to aid a political ally IMO

Ghoulish stuff

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

"God will ask us if we have cultivated and cared for the world that he created for the benefit of all and for future generations, and if we have taken care of our brothers and sisters - what will be our answer, my dear friends?"

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

Here we see the Supreme Court falling back on the venerable Trump is God-King Unless He Tries to Do Something I, John Roberts, Personally Disagree With doctrine.

The coal industry has been shrinking for a reason: Coal is no longer cost-competitive. There are more students enrolled at say Penn State than there are workers left in the coal industry (about 40k).

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!
