CBS News kills its climate unit David Ellison, the new pro-Trump chief executive of Paramount Skydance, has dismantled the best climate change reporting team in cable news.

A scoop that I’m not happy to report:

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

Opinion | The Real Horrors of America On watching the 1959 film “House on Haunted Hill” and America’s real monsters.

As a child, Lynda Barry used to watch “House on Haunted Hill” with her family. “My grandma laughed at the scary parts,” she writes in an illustrated essay. “She’d seen worse… much worse.”

Too busy murdering civilians in Venezuela & Trinidad to help with disaster relief in Haiti, Jamaica, & Cuba.

Death toll from Hurricane Melissa climbs to 49, with many still missing Haiti reported the highest number of deaths following catastrophic flooding from hurricane rains.

Some of my earliest childhood memories are going to eat at Clifton’s after church.

Inside Sacramento County's lone heirloom bean shop Chili Smith beans, sources locally, are also available online or at grocery stores in Auburn, Newcastle and Truckee.

If you love heirloom beans but don’t have time to drive to Napa, please give Steve your business. A truly generous person who feeds so many people between farmers & his customers. I did not know but wasn’t surprised to learn that he also works as a hospice chaplain www.abridged.org/news/inside-...

I saw a 🐸 on an electric 🛴 probably either on their way to a protest or Halloween party

it cannot be overstated how catastrophic it is that Baker & Taylor was allowed to fall into the hands of private equity

Since we’re talking BUNNICULA I need everyone to know that the audiobook is read by Victor Garber and he truly out-gays himself. Harold and Chester absolutely come across as the fussy middle-aged couple they were obviously meant to be.

In 2025 the small businesses of America are coming through to feed their fellow Americans at a cost to their bottom line while the federal government takes our tax money they agreed to use for this specific purpose and builds a ballroom. Please tell me again about the federal taxes we need to pay.

And it's going to be like people who express no sympathy for immigrants b/c "my family immigrated here legally." People are going to judge the hungry instead of having solidarity b/c it's seen as a moral failing to not just be poor, but to seek help for it.

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.

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid.

I wish them safe flying and a safe return

If you want to think about how colonialism works to make disasters worse-and not 'natural'- think about the deforestation of Haiti and who benefited from it. Now think about 40 inches of rain on mountains that used to have native forests. There is no way to disentangle this stuff.

A thing I keep emphasizing in discussions w/my union colleagues is to not say that funding for different programs was cancelled when it was actually stolen. Especially as Californians, we paid for these programs with our taxes and now it's being stolen from us.

Wow he’s gonna be so mad when he hears his podcast.

A political liberal, Ms. Lockhart had no illusions about the good old days. In a 2004 interview with The New York Times, she recalled a connection "Lassie" script writers had with McCarthy-era blacklisting. "When people come up to me and say, 'Well, sure wish we had wonderful American shows like that the way we used to in the '50s; I say: 'Let me tell you who wrote those scripts' Yes, they were good Americans, and they were in jail."

From June Lockhart’s NY Times obit.

RIP to a real one.

Houston, we have a problem.

And probably plenty of other American cities.

And this is before SNAP payments end.

Furloughed feds pick up Seattle beach trash to keep serving the public Furloughed federal employees were out in the rain picking up cigarette butts, bottle caps, and other trash at Seattle’s Golden Gardens Park on Friday.

Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown.

Bystanders Horrified by Slightly-Too-Honest AI Billboard The AI billboard asks you to visit a website called Replacement.AI, which brags that humans are "no longer necessary."

Unfortunately the satire is entirely indistinguishable from the actual ai industry hype.

Yeah this is why failson candidate with Nazi tattoo who worked for Blackwater gets more enthusiasm & support than actual middle class candidate who was public school teacher & in the National Guard

The scariest Halloween display in my neighborhood is the house that’s erected a full military flag display on the front lawn.

Prior to Chavez, most of the petroleum operations were under the auspices of Texaco with a large TX-OK expat population from the oil & gas industry.

Against the express wishes of CARICOM. Also they’re murdering fishermen because anybody operating an actual significant trafficking operation in the region more than likely has ties to US financial & political interests.
