Our Blue Cross is slated to increase by 30% next year! It already consumes 1/2 of the pension I taught 30 years to earn.

I sure hope Social Security is still around in 4 months when I am eligible to file.

We're on day 10 of the #RepublicanShutdown, and it has now been 21 days since Mike Johnson last called a vote in the House. I'm ready to work for the #FightingFifth and the American people, and to negotiate in good faith to reopen the government AND secure affordable health care.

You think we would just take advantage of the work that our own CIA has already done on simple sabotage

Be careful. You don’t want to get charged with assault with a deli weapon.

It was a worksite. A roofing job. A lot nails everywhere…

I would rather have someone wrapped in the Constitution burning a flag….than someone wrapped in the flag burning the Constitution!

CA just blew the lid off: 1.5 million pages of police misconduct and use-of-force records from 700 agencies and 12,000 cases. It exposes a system soaked in violence where police brutalize the people they’re sworn to protect. The receipts? Right here:

This is a new one…Threat Level Orange by Earth to Eve

Unfuck the World by Prophets of Rage (another shout to Mista Chuck)

For me, it's a metaphor for what's going on in the US and the world at large--the things that are noble or beautiful about our nation being sold off and stripped for parts by people, who, if they had any generosity of spirit, could fix most if not ALL of the problems on the planet.

Central Coast farm workers use their muscles, sharp knives and repetitive strenuous motions for the leek harvest. #WeFeedYou

I just read. He’s been missing for the past two weeks.

Be careful. I had my ornamental gourds near my cucumbers, and then read that that is a combination that can truly make you ill. You might want to double check those plantings.

This should be repeated, printed, and displayed at every sighting of ICE!

Today we honor the courage of those who fought in Normandy 81 years ago. On D-Day, thousands stormed the beaches of Normandy and fought for our freedom and the freedom of our allies. Today we honor their legacy and sacrifice.

1080p image Comic book style. Portrait oriented. Fast food mascot along the lines of 1970s Grimace, Hamburgler, and Mayor McCheese from McDonalds but an orange powdered taco from the “Trump Taqueria”.

I’m just putting this out there.

I know AI is evil… but this was a simple request.

Selfie with ridiculous fear look. Arranged the statue of giant eagle appears to be attacking.

I stopped by #MontezumaNWR today.

Saw at least four eagles not including this one. One flew by and landed in a tree visible through my sunroof.

The fucking idiot who doesn't know if he has to obey his oath to the Constitution, is doing his best to make sure that it no longer exists.

The Boss!

Okay that makes sense for a forecast. NYS has the scholars use a table to find humidity given the data on the station model.

So, is the difference between “saturated” and “condensation occurring” the latent heat of condensation? Once condensation starts the vapor loses energy to the air?

I never knew that detail. Thanks for teaching me something new today.

I also like how the moon faces are inverted.

Exactly.

It is the temperature at which moisture in the air condenses.

You can figure it out on your own by filling a glass with ice water and putting a thermometer in. It’s not real precise, but the temperature at which droplets start to form on your glass would be the dewpoint temperature.

It is on there, it’s out of the northeast at 10 knots.

Replace the circle with an arrow head to see the direction. It’s tricky to read the wind speed, with only one barb. 5 kn it’s further up the shaft, on the end signifies 10 kn.

O——,- East @5 kn

O———,
‘ East at 10. Kn

I taught this to my 9th graders for years. NYS Earth Science.

Drawing arrows over each station on the national map to illustrate the wind patterns, plotting the iso lines to locate pressure centers, locating frontal boundaries….

So much information packed into those little symbols.

DOGE killed dozens of grants that supported women workers Advocates say the cancellations, which Mother Jones is first to report, will lock women out of construction and manufacturing jobs—and may violate the law.

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE just cut millions in Labor Department grants to support getting women into manufacturing & construction jobs & tackling gender-based violence & harassment at work.

It may be illegal since some grants were mandated by law.

This need to be seen in #Roc and beyond. The people chose to have a PAB with disciplinary powers.

As soon as it passed it started getting its teeth pulled.

I feel it is bad news when the Port of Seattle webcam looks like this.

I assume it is normally full of containers and dock workers and truck drivers.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose.  A

Ok, I did a deep dive into this EO and here's what I came up with. This EO, if it's upheld by the courts, will allow employers to discriminate, legally, against anyone who isn't an able bodied straight white Christian male.
