My quote for today's WaPo story: "We’re going to be seeing a lot more Melissas in the future and we’re definitely not ready for it".

The dangerous combination that made Melissa a monster hurricane
Hurricane Melissa’s power was undeniable, intensifying faster than most storms on record.

Parts of Jamaica may see more than 30 inches of rain from Hurricane Melissa

This is the mark of an overheated earth, and the damage it causes will be terrifying. Please be prepared to help those providing aid

Big Atlantic waves - 30 ft offshore - will pile up along the Mid-Atlantic and New England Coasts with the help of 60 mph+ gusts! Nasty few days with significant coastal flooding. Be ready for flooding if you live near the shore! #storm #noreaster #ocean #waves

Poor Bermuda. Could it be impacted yet again by another Tropical Storm or Hurricane? Ugh.

23 to 8. This is not a football score. It’s the two-game total of runs scored by the Toronto Bluejays vs. the New York Yankees. Pathetic pitching - once again. Ugh. Yankees will be done soon, another Divisional Playoff loss. Where have you gone, Joe Torre?

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

#Humberto is making a run to Cat 5 status. There’s plenty of lightning around the eye, showing it has the vertical motion needed for further intensification. By days end - or before- we could have 160 mph! That would make it the 2nd cat 5 of the season. Warmer climate = more rapid intensification!

What an embarrassment this President is to the United States. This UN speech is self-aggrandizing and deplorable. Unbelievable, yet here we are. Why can’t Republican House and Senate members see this?

Flu shot - check. COVID vaccine update - check. 2 for 2 because I believe in science, and in vaccines that save lives.

Our democracy is collapsing in real time.

Much of the damage will be irreparable.

If you’re waiting to say or do something, you better not wait much longer.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

I dont know how many times im gonna be surprised by this supreme court. I know better than to expect different but something in me just wishes for the best. God we deserve so much better. This court has legalized racial profiling. Unbelievable, well actually believable.

I hate you Clarence Thomas.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.

Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.

They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

Some GOOD NEWS to share

Japanese Scientists develop plastic that dissolves in seawater in a few hours !!
It can also breakdown in soil taking about 200 hours

SEE WHY SCIENCE MATTERS
Japanese Scientists Invent Plastic That Does Not Pollute Ocean Water — Instead, It Simply Dissolves
The UNEP previously warned that by 2040, plastic pollution could increase to three times its current levels.

Every time he announces another “liberation day,” he’s lying. Of course, every time he opens his mouth, he’s lying.

But for way too many Americans, the truth no longer matters. In fact, Trump’s greatest legacy is the destruction of truth.

If you’ve not watched the 3-part National Geographic/History Channel series, “JFK: One Day in America,” make a commitment to do so. I’ll NEVER forget Nov. 22, 1963, even though I was only 7-1/2 years old at the time. Four days that changed the U.S., and the world. Told by those who were in Dallas.
