Breaking News! Code UFB!!! For the first time in recorded history, the Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature (SST) is above 30.0°C, reaching a preliminary SST of 30.06°C on October 5th. The Niño 3.4 SST anomaly is now 3.41°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. Everything is not fine.

Sad but true.

cyclospora turns people into human shit geysers. Bobby Brainworms Jr killed the program that tracked it, because he was too fucking ignorant — and stupid — to understand the ramifications of what he was doing. thank you for your attention to today's extremely angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4hcewTt

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein? KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Aren't war crimes a bad thing? His one small mercy is taking a sh1t in private, a courtesy not granted to the 300 Hyundai worker Trump moved into a detention camp. I'm so confused. Is there right, is there wrong? Does he ask himself, "My god, what have I done?"

So we're going to move to renewables, right? More renewables? Renewables? Renew....

South Australia has spent years patiently constructing one of the world's first big 100% clean grids. Its reward? Industries are *flocking* there to take advantage. Peak load is expected to double in coming years. Go green, make green.

The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...

The reviews are in, and they’re brutal. Brett Ratner‘s $75 million documentary about Melania Trump has received a miserable 6 percent rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the worst-reviewed films in recent memory.

They turned around because of an electrical fault, not because a tired old man with health issues needed treatment. Right. Got it.

On the plus side I’ll always be more intelligent than I need to be the President of America. That’s true for the majority of Australians. Like we can do % and can tell who pays a tariff.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Trump is blatantly weaponizing the justice system to attack his political enemies while handing out pardons to his crooked allies and those who will commit violence on his behalf. So much for “law and order.” [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
