“When you get a storm like this that is approaching the higher echelons of what we have observed, it’s harrowing," one scientist told @mrmattsimon.bsky.social. And rapid intensification caused by warm water makes a storm like this incredibly more dangerous. Story via @grist.org / @climatedesk.org
Jamaica cowers as Category 5 Melissa bears down, supercharged by warming seas

Re: the "Riyadh Comedy Festival" and its roster of rich comedians ... I think about this passage by Martin Amis (from a 1980s article about whether Claus von Bulow tried to murder his wife Sunny) every time someone says "Why would he need to do that? He's already rich!"

Great convo between @taylorbyas.bsky.social on her most recent poetry book "Resting Bitch Face" with @roxanegay.bsky.social for the Audacious Book Club. Great insights on demands on Black women & their bodies—erasure, politicization, expectation of performative acceptability (e.g., smiling vs RBF).

It occurs to me that many people have not seen the strange and devastating Michael Tolkin film THE RAPTURE (1991)? One of the best movies about religion ever made!
