We just hit 1.5 C above per-industrial levels for the first time.
A decade ago, It was predicted that we would hit 1.5°C between 2050-2060, and even as recently as 2 years ago the prediction had moved forward to between 2030-2040.
The next decade or two are going to be very... interesting

Sarah Palin On ‘Disheartening’ Jan. 6 Sentences: ‘Makes the Good Guy Think, What’s the Use in Being a Good Guy?’
22 years? Yeah that is disheartening.
There are several states in the South and Midwest that possession of marijuana can land you life in prison. That's potentially a 70 year sentence for a young adult.
Yet these jackasses can attempt to overthrow the US Government and install an unelected dictator and the longest sentence we've seen yet is only 22 fucking years?
Yeah it is disheartening to see the hundreds that got off with house arrest, probation, or even at best landed behind bars for only a year or so.

Trump abruptly cancels 'virtual roundtable' amid reports of 'exhaustion'
He's just too old for this job.
How old is he?
He's older than Bill Clinton, and Bill Clinton ended his second term in office almost a quarter century ago.
He's older than Ruby Bridges, who was the first black student to attend a white school
He's older than the first commercially available microwave oven.
He's even older than the transistor.

RFK Jr wants to promote raw milk as HHS secretary – experts say it’s dangerous
Let's see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
I'm sure this will be fine and the virus won't mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.

Vladimir Putin’s ruble is now worth less than a penny, infuriating his inner circle
On Amazon you can get a 24pk of Charmin toilet paper for $37. That's $1.56 per roll.
There are 150 sheets of toilet paper on a roll so that's $0.01⁰⁴ per sheet.
The Russian ruble is at 101.00R to $1.00USD, making it equivalent to $0.00⁹ (9 mil) in USD.
It's now officially cheaper to wipe your ass with Russian money than toilet paper

USA gets closer to Idiocracy every day
I wish.
In Idiocracy the public wanted the smart people in charge, President Camacho even stepped aside when he knew he was unqualified compared to Joe.
In whatever the hell this is, the public demonizes intelligence.

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime.
If they're saying "own" on their advertisements then they should be required to refund you when they eventually have to take it away. I'm pretty sure "ownership" has a legal definition and it's probably not too ambiguous.
It should at least be considered false advertising if they can't guarantee access permanently.

Republicans Are Acting Like 2024 Is Their Last Campaign
One way or another, it might be.
If Trump wins, it'll likely be the last election we ever have. Dictator on day one and all...
If he doesn't win, he will have drained the party and it's donors of all of their cash.
He already gets the lions share of it and dumps it into a legal black hole, and now Lara plans to divert what little funding was leftover for the local and congressional races to Trump too.
They're literally all in on him, so can they recover in 2 years for the midterms if he cleans them out?
If they have no cash for the midterms and we get a blue wave, what happens to their gerrymandered districts?
This election might be it for them.

Supreme Court to weigh whether Covid misinformation is protected speech
If yelling "Fire!" In a crowded theater is not protected speech then any kind of healthcare misinformation shouldn't be either.
The whole reason you can't yell "Fire!" In a crowded theater is because people could get hurt or killed.
Covid misinformation also gets people killed.
Seems pretty clear to me.

There are two things that will lose the election for Democrats if they don't get them under control.
If people don't stop fighting and trying to convince themselves that it's not worth it to go to the polls then this is game over.

What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?
In South Korea most fans have timers so they're not left on overnight, because people think it'll kill you if you do leave it on.
This belief wasn't helped by medical examiners putting "death by fan" on the death certificates of suicide victims to help the dead save face and spare the families the embarrassment of a "cowardly death" for a few decades.
