So, what’s the difference between these goons and ISIS, or any other two bit terrorist, again? The line is getting a little blurry.
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.
It's the same court and lawyers.

So that means that any attempt to neuter a hippo is:

B) Done under "best guess" conditions
C) Where the drugs are *going* to wear off
D) On an animal that weighs more than a Ford F150
E) All of which is muscle
F) On testicles that are hiding from you
G) And it is mad about it

How many times do you look at the temperature on your phone?
Most of those temperatures are from weather stations NOAA/NWS helps maintain…or they are a model interpolation from a model NOAA/NWS helped develop.
The radar data, satellite data, every single watch and warning…that’s NOAA/NWS.

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive?
Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%.
This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!

Everything sucks but I’m choosing to be most ticked off by trying to yoink DENALI’S name because the implications of the rest of the flat out unconstitutional stuff getting to the Supreme Court so they can go “well if we squint maybe we can make it constitutional” is f’ing depressing

It seems that society has largely stopped giving people last names based on their jobs. Nothing new since Carpenter or Miller. We need to some new last names like Bob Realestate, Steven Daytrader, or Mary Emailperson.

Now we have the capability of drone surveying it'll be interesting to see what the orca do once they've finished with the salmon. Discard them? Eat them? 🦑

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.
