A coffee mug from Steven Colbert’s last shutdown support campaign that reads Don’t even talk to me until I’ve had my paycheck

That’s 2.3 paychecks now. And haven’t missed a workday yet.

Thanks for mug from last time, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Super Typhoon Haiyan (2013) is exactly the storm I'd compare Melissa to. It was the only other time I've seen the Dvorak scale violated above 8.0, and the only other time I've seen a complete ring of -80Β°F cloud tops (shown here in pink).

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Coast Guard’s Jet Upgrade Under Fire Amid Government Shutdown

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

RIP Jane Goodall.
All my life there’s been Jane Goodall. On Johnny Carson watching after bedtime because there were going to be chimps on tv…As a voice of conservation reason as she revealed that humans are not necessarily exceptional, but similar to chimps in many ways.

What a life. Thank you. πŸ’

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted β€œno” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then
