Hug your loved ones, folks.

Okay, it’s our turn now! I’m thinking military installations or Natanz.
And now it looks like America’s wang is about to get flushed.
At least one country gets it. I feel sorry for the Dominican Republic.
It’s almost like the planet likes it a little warmer with more CO2.
Okay, that’s it for me. Peace out, Glibbies.
Nice try, WordPress! Not today. Not today.
Take this First and ram it into your stomach!
Spoken like a true Seconder
Ram it Down.
Been there done that…thousands of time. /Gaia
Or, once again, we reverse cause and effect.
I’d like to read the actual paper on this rather than the journo’s babble.
Florida says ‘bring it’
Seriously, stay safe wang of America glibs.
Even as Hurricane Helene was pressing toward the Florida coast, AccuWeather’s team of expert meteorologists had been monitoring part of the Gulf of Mexico for yet another round of tropical trouble. On Saturday afternoon, Tropical Storm Milton formed, just hours after becoming a tropical depression, and it was expected to intensify and strike the Florida Peninsula next week as a hurricane, with torrential rain, wind and the likelihood of flooding.
Go ‘way! Batin’!
Activists have long criticized the administration of President Luis Abinader for what they say are ongoing human rights violations of Haitians and those of Haitian descent born in the Dominican Republic. Abinader has denied any mistreatment.
Stay on your own fucking side of the fence, and there won’t be any “human rights violations.” Problem solved.
Tropical Storm Milton
Milt?
I love you (no homo).
I was thinking the same thing.
From the schizophrenia article:
A recent study from researchers in China and the United States…
Well, fuck. That’s not a good mix.
One schizodemic, coming up!
Coming up? I’d say we’re soaking in it.
The Antarctic peninsula is warming faster than the global average, with extreme heat events happening more often, meaning the amount of vegetation there has ballooned.
Wait, there’s stuff growing on the rocks? I’m not lichen that at all.
Guess there’s never been anything there before….ever. It’s all humanity’s fault.
Did some quick math…
In 40 years, the percentage of Antarctica’s landmass that was covered in vegetation, went from 0.0000070% all the way up to 0.0000845%
Core samples have shown plenty of decayed vegetation under all that ice.
As Roberto Duran once said, “No, moss”.
New Internet Historian Incognito Mode on AI is hilarious. The songs they make up are amazing.
I’m watching that Trump rally. He gets on stage, puts up that chart, and says “As I was saying…”
“As I was saying…”
It was quite something.
“As I was saying…”
Nice.
He may ramble, but he’s got a good sense of humor.
Elon Musk just showed up.
That’s one of those rare covers where it is better than the original. And that was basically it for the man.
It was a shame, he was just starting to get some recognition and Cancer got him.
I doubt the mission includes anything like the Salvadoran approach.
“You mean, giving money to gang members doesn’t reduce the number of gang members? That’s not what our model says!”
I can only assume we’re paying both sides, too.
“There is a broad recommendation within the IDF to respond to the Iranian attack while minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities.”
That right there is the kind of bold thinking that wins wars.
Uh oh. New tropical storm, and FEMA is already broke 5 days into the fiscal year.
Man, I forgot – new FY on Oct 1. And the Continuing Resolution means the same money to the same accounts.
Look, they may have given money to house migrants…a lot of money, but money isn’t fungible or anything. It was a completely separate program! Like Planned Parenthood. not using tax money on abortions They keep the money in different accounts and everything.
“Green Island in the Antarctic Peninsula, despite the name, is greener than expected”
I dunno. With a name like Green Island, I expect it to be pretty damn green. Just how green is it?
Kind of makes it hard to believe anything else they write in the article
Beer.

Get in here, assholes
Mojeaux announced she would be absent and look what happens 😭
WaPo headline:
Helene response hampered by misinformation, conspiracy theories.
“Misinformation” prevents moving supplies into place, or actively helping those in need?
Sounds legit.
🙄
I don’t understand this fed response at all. And it’s obvious it’s a fiasco, because the media is providing cover.
They don’t want to criticize their friends.
The fucking article summarizes a bunch of hearsay and calls it out as fact.
Bonus. Wonder how they found person to quote?
One day after Hurricane Helene slammed into Asheville, N.C., leading to seven trees falling on her house and destroying her roof, Nicole McNeill read an alarming article that warned a second storm was barreling toward the area.
McNeill, 43, had a panic attack, her anxiety spiking and her heart pounding. She knew she didn’t have enough gasoline in her car to evacuate from yet another disaster.
“The second storm turned out to be a nonsensical rumor,” said McNeill, who works at a strategic communications firm focused on climate change. “And when you are with limited cell service and you come across misinformation, you can make a split-second decision that can have life-or-death consequences.”
Oh, there’s more than enough bullshit to go around.
Doom. DOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!
Are they sending them to Haiti first, or just skipping the middleman and sending them directly to the US?
Domestic violence
Gang members brandishing automatic rifles stormed through a town in Haiti’s main breadbasket region, killing at least 70 and forcing over 6,000 to flee, causing widespread shock even in a country grown accustomed to outbreaks of violence.
More people were severely injured in the attack in the early hours of Thursday at Pont-Sonde, in the agricultural region of Artibonite in western Haiti. Gran Grif gang leader Luckson Elan took responsibility for the massacre, saying it was in retaliation for civilians remaining passive while police and vigilante groups killed his soldiers.
——-
The gang members set fire to dozens of homes and vehicles, local authorities said, in one of the deadliest attacks in recent years in the Caribbean nation that has seen many massacres and little justice for their victims.
That’s liable to get you a somber tut-tut-ing from the U N.
You don’t think it rises to “strongly worded letter” level?
Unpossible. I have it on good authority that mass shootings only occur in America.
I blame global warming.

Too soon?
*golf clap*
There it is.
“The second storm turned out to be a nonsensical rumor,” said McNeill, who works at a strategic communications firm focused on climate change.
It was probably an e-mail from her own organization.
I seem to recall there was talk of another hurricane forming, and in fact there is another one brewing in the Gulf. It’s not hard to see how that could morph into the belief that another hurricane is headed their way. Wrong, maybe, but I wouldn’t call it nonsensical.
The U.N. estimated at the end of September that 3,661 people had been killed in the gang violence since January. It believes the gangs are armed largely by guns trafficked from the United States.
Nearby countries including the Dominican Republic and U.S. have meanwhile continued to deport migrants back to Haiti.
Those darn Hoosiers, exporting death and terror.
They sure get around.
Some of us do.
Did you just call TOK a slut?!?!
No; Pete Buttigieg.
Times are tough, what with inflation and all. Gotta make a living somehow.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday urged a halt to deliveries of arms to Israel that can be used in its war against Hamas in Gaza, drawing a furious reaction from Jerusalem.

But he wants to send trainers to Ukraine.
The Russian monitory in France isn’t big enough to worry about. And they are less explosive.
Why are the Padres’ unis so shiny?
MLB unis took a lot of heat from players about being extra shitty this year. New designer/producer. Got press! Folk do have inventive ways of making things more complicated.
Go for the Costanza cotton strategy for best results!
