The western U.S. faces its lowest snowpack on record despite average or above-average rainfall. Warmer temperatures mean more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, and will worsen droughts in areas like the Pacific Northwest and the Colorado River Basin. science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-...

Just to close the loop here. A cozy club of just the very worst people.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

Monsters.

Northgate Mall: sad, empty store fronts, few people mostly white. Red Robin is the man restaurant? Southcenter Mall: happy, full store fronts with contemporary brands, always crowded with all kinds of diversity. A feast of restaurant options.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Man nothing makes me more of a proponent of a unicameral legislature than watching these ancient Democratic senators struggle to rouse themselves to stop our own occupation.

This photo of Liam Conejo Ramos - the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas - is beyond horrifiying. This underscores why just slapping on some procedural restraints on Trump/Miller's ICE/CBP army is not going to make this cruelty/horror go away.

Wrote to @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov to express support for shutting down the gov if our 1st, 2nd and 4th amendment rights aren’t supported by this regime, and respectfully disagreed that folks will care as much about affordability if their city gets the Minneapolis treatment next

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

my guy was back out there doin Good Work with a broken rib from his previous encounter. name a fucking high school after him.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Man it is kind of fucked up that woke gets the NFL, the 2nd amendment, and Bill Kristol in the national divorce

Israeli media report that Israel had obtained *months ago* credible information on the location of the last remaining hostage's body - a cemetery *within Israeli "yellow line" area of control* - but the government did not allow the IDF to search it. www.ynet.co.il/news/article... 1/

The last words of the victims ICE agents have executed in Minneapolis have been “I’m not mad at you” and “Are you ok” asked to another victim

The online nazis think they can post (lie) their way though these executions and they cannot

wow interesting!!!!!

Honorless dogs

Good!

Donald Trump's AI-generated "Board of Peace" logo is so bad it doesn't even have Greenland on it, the territory he almost took the US to war this week to seize. No, really, look closely:

You’d never get me to admit any of these, never mind post about one

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

oh wow theyre breaking out the lie from last march, neat, cool, wonderful

1. Broncos - Seahawks 2. Patriots - Seahawks 3. Broncos - Rams 4. Super Bowl called off after targeted strikes by former-NATO allies following the Siege of Nuuk 5. Patriots - Rams

IMHO, you would enjoy listening to this pod about a guy who is trying to decentralize the electricity grid the same way telecom & internet infrastructure were decentralized.

Do not think the Texans, Patriots or a Nix-less Denver can beat the Seahawks

If moderates are uncomfortable with “Abolish ICE”, I have a more Beltway-friendly framing they can use: we’re gonna shrink ICE so small that we can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.

Not a single one left

My mayor told me police keep killing his constituents so I asked how many constituents he has and he said he just gives the police more money for training afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just paying the police to kill his constituents and then Matt Yglesias started crying.

“One of the bombs rolled under our truck, and within seconds our truck lifted up off the ground, and the airbags deployed, the car doors locked themselves, and the car began to fill with the powerful tear gas. We fought hard to get the doors open and get all of the kids out. Bystanders had to help.”

GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good. Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

Sucks to be Machado and now have no physical Peace Prize and no role in the Venezuela government.

Lord I’ve seen what you do for others and I want that for me. ( @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social rooting for you!)

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

Investors love letting Zuck light money on fire www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/t...

Mushrooms

Tribunals for ICE agents coming

“I want AJ Brown packing his bags… And I also want Kevin Patullo flipping burgers at the local McDonald’s.”

Someone in the NFL has gotta pair the safety helmet with the capri pants to achieve this look

The Bears and Packers are both not very good

Why wouldn’t the bears kick a field goal on that 4th down so they didn’t have to convert a 2-point conversion down the line?

Lmao

At this point in Amazon’s decline by flywheel, you get better items faster at a reasonable price per volume by shopping at Costco and only need to buy at Amazon every 6 months for the junk stuff like Chinese inner tubes and c batteries or whatever.

Klobuchar voted for the Secretary of Agriculture.

Problem solving, the ICE way.
