Because Israel targeted Beirut.

The U.S. spent $11B in the first week of the Iran War and have spent many times that in weeks since, dwarfing the subsidy China has given solar panels. This war is all about oil and is another example of how our entire society is effectively built around enormous subsidies for fossil fuels. 🔌💡

Did 5-6 hours of yard/garden work yesterday, and still a touch sore. Why not take a bike ride when it's 88F?

There are parts of my body that I didn't realize could hurt. Bourbon helps.

Nice little line of storms through the TC metro. Need the rain

It's been really cool to get books once a month in the mail for our daughter. As soon as it comes in the mail she's grabs it and gives it a look through and it ends up in the bed time story rotation. Missouri must be afraid of educating children. Sounds very pro life and pro family.

Textbook. Dang near everything is there except the wall cloud and noodle.

*and another thing* let’s assume this is correct, everyone just decides “fuck LA, i am moving to fargo, they have a major airport now”, and fargo somehow builds it out — do they think, in this farcical scenario, those states stay blood red?

It’s a well-known fact that blue cities are economically inconsequential to billionaire GOP donors, who generate all their wealth from commerce conducted in places like West Virginia, Mississippi, South Dakota, & Idaho.

I keep trying to understand the logic behind threats like this — after months of reporting on the tariffs — and I realized there's no logic. It's just pure intimidation, spite and bullying; then genuine surprise at the disastrous results, months of chaos, and even worse approval ratings.

Lol by their definition, what major international ports are left in "red" states/cities? Dallas, Houston, Miami? Also telling small red states to go eff themselves because they will have add a substantial amount of travel time if they have any sort of international business or recreation.

"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another" U.S. Const. Art 1, s. 9, cl. 6

I'm sorry, what now?

Hassett: "The thing I've seen is that while people have been spending more money at gas stations, they've been spending more money on everything else, which means they're still very very optimistic about the state of the economy" (Consumer sentiment is actually at an all time low ... )

You wanted masked vigilantes stealing humans with no accountability and you got ....

Good view this evening.

Couldn't ask for better weather for a day off to wander Toronto.

Good heavens, up 3-0 after 1 too.

Waymo Air doesn't appeal to me.

amazing

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

It's rare that I puff my chest, but I pretty much nailed an impact forecast today. Might retire.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Ugh, what coulda been as a Wild fan.... both teams beatable, and we effed around in our series against Colorado. I want Colorado to win the series, but ugh.

Devon Toews did a Jake Middleton...

“The change is likely to lead to more families being separated as spouses or relatives wait for decisions on their applications, immigration lawyers & former homeland security officials said. It could also lead to longer processing times as consulates around the world manage an influx of new cases.”

In Canada watching Colorado vs Vegas feeds wrong. But it's hockey, so...

Derechoooooooo The archive is super easy to use! Love it.

Holy shit. Was just announced this morning that he was sick. WTF.

lmao, @maxnesterak.bsky.social, amazing work

Destroy the economy to own the libs. That'll go well. Also, I have international business travel coming up. So yay.

May 20th, 2013: An EF5 tornado devastated Moore, Oklahoma. The extremely violent tornado leveled entire neighborhoods, destroying homes, a hospital, several schools, and hundreds of other structures. 24 people were killed and 212 were injured. 1/2

Forgot to post yesterday but here are more fish faces for #SundayFishSketch. Finished the bass with yellow bass.

🌡️ Hazardous heat will expand across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Tuesday, as high temperatures reach the middle and upper 90s with widespread Major HeatRisk. Those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration may be affected by the heat.

You heard the man! Vote him out!

Happy Rozel tornado anniversary day to the haters and losers.

Dumb hobby. Left late this morning, got to Hawarden, IA, then drove back northeast to play the cells on the WF. Wimpy rope from 8+ miles away, estimated near Welcome, MN. Deserving of a back of camera photo. Still counts! 2 for 2 on the season.

Main cell east of FSD just not chasable IMO. Trying for some of these cells near Spencer. Doesn't look half bad to the southwest and I hear thunder.

🗣️ LOUDER PLEASE.

Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, chicken, turkey.

I'm cheering in Buffalo or Carolina for the cup now that the Wild lost. But if Colorado wins, I'll know we at least crapped the bed to the best.

At least we lost in the second round this time...

Saw that coming. Kaprizov should have taken the shot instead of a long cross ice pass, which turned it the other way. But that whole end of 3rd and OT was just flat.

RIP to No Actual Meteorology. May your 60 hour forecast go to hell.

Oh my, Wallstedt keeping us in this one. We gotta get some more pressure the other way.

Preaching to the choir here, but a radar site mear/west of Allentown would still be nice.

Back in the series! Looked like themselves tonight like they played against Dallas except with 2 PP goals!
