In my latest installment in an ongoing series on climate change and hurricanes, I look at how strong a hurricane can get. In the Persian Gulf, where SSTs get to 95°F, a 300 mph hurricane is possible.

Trump, Putin and MBS are the three amigos of oil and gas trying to fight renewable power (with a little help from their friends in Canada, Mexico, etc).
They can't win now but they still can do a lot of damage. And they will not go quietly.
It might be a more difficult here as we still have Victorian track gauges or some.such... but that is a different kind of problem

ReformUK will treat Wales as a test to see if Trumpian style rule will work for the whole country.
Good luck I hope you good people of Wales see the danger of ReformUK.
jeez, the ides of Mcfadden. Did not see that one coming.
The Onion thinks this is satire, but it's not.
In a survey published in July 2025, the Canadian firm Leger revealed that 47% of Republicans would still support Donald Trump even if he "was officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities" (see: leger360.com/trump-epstei...)

Fascists hate to be called out as fascists. Too bad.

It is really depressing that people can be accused of being predatory just for existing.
You've not met the magpies I hatched and trained from birth.
They also do my foreign exchange.
What would we be saying now if it transpired that e.g. Seumas Milne had been passing privileged info to foreign criminals linked to intelligence services, and had non-transparent exposure to Russian oligarchs and Chinese business interests? And we didn’t make that guy an ambassador.

Legit, those prime real estate gift shops selling union jack keyrings in London.
hey everyone, it's a photo of dipshit mark zuckerberg on the joe rogan podcast with his little worm lips open so he can talk into a microphone about what a fucking loser he is. he's got on headphones (probably beats by dre lol)
DID U KNOW: mark zuckerberg paid millions to develop a special breed of dog (it's a type of cockapoo) so he could shave it and glue the fur to his head
mark zuckerberg has the face and hair of a medieval king who was maced to death at the battle of harlotsbridge and found buried with a special tiny sword because he was too weak to hold a full-size one because his parents were cousins
careful, he'll give you a karate chop
Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.
There's just gotta be a line somewhere.
Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Alexander Dugin (@AGDugin) on Xitter April 19 2026: "Palantir manifesto is the plan of the Western techno-fascism. The superiority of the white race based on the technology. No antisemitism, no sacredness, no socialism of old historic fascism. This time pure capitalist, Jews friendly, profane, materialist. Anglo. Posthumanist."
I guess it's OK to point out that the manifesto is fascist if you are a fascist
another classic of the genre:
In a nutshell. 😊
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
