a book cover with a tornado in the background and a couple kissing in the foreground

book synopsis that reads: Two storm chasers find a love that could blow them away in this electric debut romance. Wedding photographer Sloane Michaels spends most of her year running after brides, but she lives for the six weeks each spring she chases tornadoes instead. When the prestigious magazine Nature Shots announces a storm cover contest, Sloane knows that winning could be her best opportunity to establish herself in landscape photography. The last thing she needs is a distraction in the form of reckless “Wild Wes” Talbot. A legend among storm chasers, he’s been Sloane’s close, personal frenemy for the last decade and is the man to beat for the cover contest. Sloane isn’t surprised when Wes gets in an accident that jeopardizes his chances. But with an active weather pattern emerging, she doubles down on her need to beat Wes fair and square, and begrudgingly invites him to join her for the remainder of the season. As they race through hail, high winds, and stormy skies, Sloane realizes that Wes might be more than the rich, flirty, Texas wildcard she thought she knew — and that the feelings blooming between them are more charged and dangerous than the storms they’re chasing.

a list of tropes: rivals to lovers, he falls first, storm chasers, child free HEALTH, just one car/bed, spicy photoshoot, eldest daughter, eyes on me

Unbound successor Boundless 'goes into administration' after months of financial uncertainty Boundless – the publishing company formed after its predecessor Unbound went into administration in March this year – along with its imprint Neem Tree Press have entered administration and ceased trad...

Wow. Boundless, the successor to Unbound, the crowdfunded publisher that collapsed amid authors' complaints of non-payment and millions owed to creditors, has reportedly gone into administration itself & "will be closing down entirely, with no rescue" www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...

The shift from pensions to 401ks played a big role in fueling Americans' hesitance to tax big wealth. Because now, even Americans who have only a tiny retirement account feel invested in the success of an institution that overwhelmingly benefits those much wealthier than them.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read Edgar Allan Poe in a Scottish Highlands cottage during a pouring rain whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support scones?

Ryan Walters' TV displayed "nude women" during a meeting. Now he's blaming the media. The Oklahoma schools chief who crusades against smut now faces an investigation into his own explicit screen time

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

idk, i've managed to not use chatgpt or whatever a single time and still am somehow getting things done and doing well at my job bc i use things like:

having conversations with other people!
reading!
my own brain to think of things!

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

In Wake of Court Losses, Rhode Island Codifies ‘Right to Read’ Rhode Island signed into law the Freedom to Read Act on July 10. The law is the first to guarantee writers and readers a right to sue for censorship, and shields librarians from criminal prosecution.

Rhode Island governor Dan McKee has signed into law the Freedom to Read Act, joining a growing number of states passing protections against book bans. The law is the first to guarantee writers and readers a right to sue for censorship, and shields librarians from criminal prosecution.

Let me once again remind everyone that emergency managers and disaster researchers warned Congress that FEMA would not be effective if it was moved under DHS and then within two years they spectacularly fucked up the Katrina response and then Congress still left FEMA in DHS.

Cuts to NOAA increase the risk of deadly weather tragedies » Yale Climate Connections The Trump administration's budget plan for 2026 would eliminate the lab that developed a key flash flooding tool.

Proposed NOAA cuts would destroy the basic infrastructure for weather research–including hurricane and flash flood forecasting–and take decades to recover from. “It’s like blowing up a dam and trying to rebuild it by gluing the pieces back together. It won’t work. You have to start from scratch.”

To me this feels like a similar moment to Sandy Hook.

If republicans aren’t willing to accept responsibility and change policy to protect young white christian girls in Texas, they won’t do it for anyone.

3. One of the things that strikes me in the awful tragedy in Texas is that the beleaguered, attacked, skeleton crew at NWS absolutely did its job - data was gathered, analyses run, warnings issued. Timely warnings at that. It was the TX officials who failed. (Again).

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Every time I posted about how much my insurance was through the Exchange, people would say, “what are you talking about? I’m only paying $33 a month.”

Those people are about to find out they were on Medicaid.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

YES AND stop getting any information from ChatGPT or any other "AI" because pretty much all of it is inaccurate.

That was amazing

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.
