Trends in November temperatures over land areas (where we live) for the last 50 years... 🔥

I celebrate political wins, yet caution that they won't last UNLESS they can stem the trends happening in climate.
Zack's many graphic posts point towards bigger storms, heat waves, and floods. Consequences will mount, leading to more deaths from crop failures, spread of tropical pests and diseases.

The downside of this interview kerfuffle as described by a friend in Texas is that Jasmine Crockett won't get the bump in publicity now given to James Talarico.
The timing is critical. This segment is not a balance... it is focused on Rep Crockett's role on the Oversight Committee reviewing Epstein.

Everything, Everywhere, All the Time - from operating systems to many apps, there is a continual digital push to store my data in the cloud. Makes me sick.
I saw a conspiracy theory yesterday that the goal is to eliminate all local data storage and push everything into the corporate cloud where it will be scraped to train A.I. (and exploit us)

This segment is a BIG FCC to Brenden Carr. Stephen Colbert explains to his broadcast audience that a new directive from Brendan Carr's FCC makes it next to impossible for CBS to air his interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico on CBS.

We experience temperature and humidity extremes by day and local town, but this is an interesting tool for seeing national climate trends midst the jagged noise of annual variations.
I found interesting seeing the increase in humidity as the planet warms.

The GOP playbook is essentially a poll tax - one that many people (hourly workers and students) need to also take off from work and find transport to an office with limited office hours to get the ID that is demanded.

Why is nobody speaking out against the🍊💩s campaign rally at Fort”Bragg”.Telling the cheering(?)troops to vote GOP and having a repug senate candidate up there with him is crossing another line. Our military is not his political tool to wield. They have a duty to Country and Constitution, not Fatass.
