Actually, this is very simple. If you are against Nazis, and an American, you should vote for Biden. Easy-peasy.

"Funny" how, after the first debate, everybody said that Biden has been an excellent president, … as if he's as good as dead already. I've been saying for years that a dead macaque would be a better president than Trump. So Biden, the excellent president, should be a-okay. Right?

After the second hottest June in US history, the burners aren't exactly being turned down this month. Las Vegas is having the hottest week in its history, and heat advisories now stretch from Boston to Birmingham. Many more records will fall.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but sharks absolutely get cancer. Even if sharks didn’t get cancer, eating shark wouldn’t cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball. (Images of shark tumors from Andrew Fox, via a NBC News article)

Earth's avg temp topped 1.5°C over the last 12 months. Does that mean we've passed the Paris goal? NO. The global avg must be above 1.5°C for over a decade for that to happen. So what DOES it mean? 1) we're that much closer, and 2) this (extreme) year will be merely an average year at 1.5C.

my friend asked the other day how i planned to cover the growing fascism here and i said “i guess continue writing about it til i’m sent to prison? lol” it was a flip thing to say but it’s hard to imagine ever stopping. or fleeing. i’m feeling not quite patriotic, but protective of this country.

I organized a short outing a while back. We left at the hour I predicted we'd leave (based on past experiences). We had some stops to pick up, and drop off, an acquaintance. When we arrived at the entrance of the museum, my alarm went off: "Time to visit the museum." My fiancée's jaw dropped.

I've been saying this for a long time now: A dead macaque would be a better president than the orange shit-gibbon. The first presidential term of the Sleeping Fart was bad, and he's prepared to make his second term worse. If I could, I would vote Biden. Vote against Nazis, people.

I correctly predicted that 2023 would be the hottest year in record, … thanks to my ignorance. This is a lesson in humility. I knew that El Niño would affect global temperatures. I did not know that actual scientists believed that the year after El Niño starts, the temps would peak. This year

Interesting" "suma cum laude" scientist using ad hominem attacks to discredit other scientists who disagree with her pet "theory". Confirmation bias is the bane of smart people. Anyhoo, 5G microwaves are harmless, … pending more research.

Adding stats from the Netherlands to show how fast it can go even in a rainy northern country. In 2015 NL had almost no solar. In 2023 solar produced 21bn of the total 120bn kWh. Coal dropped 34% yoy: solar is cheaper. NL is now an electricity exporter. www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2...

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

That time I "tried" to kick the cat. Our cat wanted to exit the apartment, and I didn't want her to. I told her "No!" but she tried to pass through my legs. That's when I blocked her rapidly with my legs. I didn't touch her, but she jumped clear over the sofa. Cats are fast.

Have you read the 2030 agenda? I have. There's nothing in it but good intentions. Conspiracy terrorists: "You'll have nothing but you'll be happy!" I'm thinking that, at the moment, we have nothing and we're unhappy, so the 2030 agenda means progress! Mind, blown

She: Yeah, but they claim to have no outside affiliations, but maybe that's not true. Me: That's a nice conspiracy theory you have there. She got upset about that. Me: By that logic, the "information" you are pushing also has a financial incentive. She got really upset about that. 🤷🏾♂️

I took some time to rewrite some old code and got it working. I then replaced the old code with the new code, and it stopped working. Why? The exact same code worked fine in one spot, but didn't in another spot. Finally I realized that I had also changed the .ini file. That did it. Phew 😅

Hi, I’m a climate scientist. My greatest hits include, “No it’s not a natural cycle,” “We’re the ones who told you it’s been warmer before” and “Even if it’s on YouTube it doesn’t mean it’s true.” I also cover the Christiana Figueres classic, “We’re only as doomed as we believe ourselves to be.”

Prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, it killed more than 400 Americans per year, with children being the most vulnerable. Due to childhood vaccination, deaths from measles were nearly entirely eliminated in the US in the 1990s. The rise in antivax rhetoric is killing children.

I'm helping the neighbor, and myself, by letting his horses paste on our pasture. Today, as I was putting the two horses back, they escaped. Luckily, they went up the road, so all I did was wait for them to come back down. They came back at a gallop, chased by four dogs.
