I will never stop complaining when I don't like the weather, so I feel obligated to say when I'm happy with it too (I wish all our downhill neighbors a very "hope you don't flood" 🤞).
Snapshot of a series of weather forecasts from this afternoon through Tuesday night. Behind "this afternoon" and "tonight" is a yellow box indicating a flood watch. All highs are in the 60s (Fahrenheit); all lows are in the 50s. The forecast for this afternoon is "heavy rain"; all others say "showers," "chance showers," or "showers likely."

Seeing multiple days of clouds and rain in the forecast just does something to me ☺️

In junior high in the 80s I often had a forbidden Now & Later plastered to the roof of my mouth. The candy aisle at 7-Eleven was a wonderland.

A friend showed me this screenshot and I started cackling, I was staining my tongue three different colors with OtterPops in 1998 are you fucking kidding me
A meme showing an example of a TikTok trend through two screenshots, one of a swingset captioned "Summer, 1998" and the other of a pot of jam on the stove captioned "Where sweets are baked, not bought." Under both screenshots is someone commenting "loving this new tiktok trend of 14 year olds thinking 1998 was actually the 1800s"

Imagine all the criminals who are 3 hops or fewer from every member of Congress.

Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

Several lawmakers said Thursday that the Pentagon relayed that it did not need to know the identities of those being targeted in the attacks, or if those killed had been trafficking drugs. “What they told us is they have to show a connection to a designated terrorist organization or their affiliate, and as long as they can show that connection, they believe they are authorized to strike,” Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California) said in an interview. But such connections could be as much as “three hops away” from a known drug trafficker, Jacobs told reporters after the briefing.

I am posting this 2021 article for no particular reason

transparency.eu/corruption-o...
When former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country following the 2014 Maidan revolution, Ukrainian citizens who stormed his Mezhyhirya mansion discovered a palace of cartoonish opulence with guilded bathrooms, a private zoo, and a floating restaurant in the shape of a pirate ship. A good illustration of this extravagance is the $11 million he allegedly paid for a chandelier and his seven tablecloths worth a staggering $13,000. This private opulence was all paid for with public money. Embezzlement in the Yanukovych era is said to have taken the form of theft, corruption in public procurement, rigged energy prices, and misuse of carbon-emissions allowances.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important
