Feeling much better tonight than watching election coverage a year ago. Is this what hope feels like?

Volunteers Step In to Help Understaffed NOAA Track Hurricane Melissa

NOAA retirees “volunteering” including one who is working as an “unpaid intern” in order to help. I would like to never again hear anyone bitch about civil servants’ work ethic tyvm.

Indeed we’ve got a dropsonde supporting 892mb, making Melissa tied with the Labor Day hurricane for the 3rd deepest Atlantic hurricane on record (behind Gilbert & Wilma) — and at this rate, headed for the deepest Atlantic hurricane at landfall on record.

What the fuck?

This is EXCELLENT.

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.

They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:

No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism

AND

Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Honestly as long as OK isn’t in the red, I’ll take it

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible The task of reporting is not a simple one. Each and every day, reporters and editors at publications like The Onion make difficult decisions about which issues should receive attention, knowing that o...

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

"Violence has no place in politics" You think cutting off funding for food, education, housing and medical care isn't violent? You think arresting, jailing, deporting and killing people for the color of their skin isn't violent? Worms are in a lot of brains if you think violence isn't already here.

My body is ready

FYI to all OU employees since we have the misfortune of being stuck with Cigna

Officials in Juneau area now saying a glacial outburst flood release has begun from Suicide Basin into the Mendenhall River. NWS is now forecasting a crest of 16.6' on the river, higher than last year's record flood in Juneau.

In case you needed any more evidence that there are no good republicans

Finding some good news wherever I can

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

This gives me hope 🩷 way to go NYC

We have to take good news wherever we can get it!

We live in the worst timeline

Between the development and manufacturing of the bunker buster bombs, stealth bombers, and tomahawk missiles used in the attack on Iran facilities yesterday—not even including operational expenses—we could have covered paid family and medical leave for every working person in America this year.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

A bit of bright news in the doom and gloom timeline. Absolutely incredible how Ukraine pulled this off.

If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.

Mammatus warning in Norman!
