Poor people bear the cost of climate change in insidious ways, like disinvestment in communities.

The National Weather Service is awesome. Today’s forecast discussion starts “The radar depicted widespread moderate rain, but only light rain
reached the surface. What`s the deal?! Was it magic?! Nope...even
better...SCIENCE!”
Scarecrow of Romney Marsh! I loved that series! Haven’t been able to find it anywhere to buy.
After a couple of beverages patrons are guaranteed to be more fluent.
Where they went?
“It does not matter what a council member's legal opinion is. There’s only one opinion that matters, and that’s the governor’s” is an absolutely absurd thing for a mayor to say. (And this is why Whitmire is the Fetterman of Houston).
So for the south to make it up, they basically need double their normal rainfall for at least 3 months, or about 8 total inches a month. That’s a lot.

Allbirds: we can’t make money on shoes. Please walk a mile in our AI.
Inspired no doubt by the Iran blockade blockade, Texas Gov Abbott threatens to defund police after Houston city council votes to decrease police cooperation with ICE.
Maybe that’s an age where people are smack in the middle of their biggest material needs and have been persuaded GOP policy is good for that. But mostly, I’d like to see the CI bars on the graph and whether differences among age groups are statistically significant before I get too worked up.
Sometimes discernment isn’t automatic.
Wait he had to discern that he isn’t Jesus?
Hard to believe it’s only Monday when you put it that way.
Someone is confused, but I don’t think it’s who he thinks it is.
“Stick to matters of morality.” Not like war and shit. Interesting though to hear JD Vance of all people say that if policy and the Church are in conflict, it’s no big deal.
Would this be the same Texas House that once considered dumping its speaker because he was Jewish share.google/hwhsCqjHPLIY... and whose GOP mega donor once said only Christians should hold leadership positions www.texastribune.org/2024/04/04/t...?
There’s going to be a lot of unfortunate FAFO if FDA abdicates its responsibility to ensure that drugs are safe and effective. (Remember, insulin is a peptide and it’s natural. It’s a critical therapeutic, and can be deadly if used wrong).
Finish of the Femmes just now was also amazing.
Was rooting for Tadej but Wout a race! Could not have been more exciting.
Hot take: The NBA has a big problem. If winning games isn’t important enough for your best players to play, either there are too many games or the incentives are perverse.
When you really really don’t want to ask but you have to.
Science for the win.
Didn’t someone write a book about that?
Glad you didn’t overfill the space.
