The normalcy bias we're all experiencing for global sea-surface temperatures becomes apparent if we look at the graph of SSTs 1982-2026 and remove the last three years 2023, 2024, 2025 from the picture:

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 16, 2026 ~ a hard wind "... we now need a 'Category 6' rating for hurricanes with winds of 193 mph (311 km/h) or greater, because global warming is expected to cause significant increases in maximum potential intensity." yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/04/glob...

Trumpty-Dumpty is a bull. The American economy is his china shop.

Telling Americans to “Shut Up About Egg Prices” is quite the message

I know that Musk wouldn't allow anyone to post Marko Elez's photo on Xitter, so I'm posting it here.

Here is my response to Donald Trump’s latest malicious lies:

Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes announces she's quit the paper because her editors wouldn't print a cartoon going after Big Tech and media oligarchs paying tribute to to Trump A new low in mainstream media's post-Trump meltdown anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

“I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now.” Why Ann Telnaes quit her editorial cartoonist job at the Washington Post and why she’s my newest hero anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

This is my cat Dexter, named after the character from the books/Showcase TV show. Today, my wife and I had to say goodbye to him. It was sudden and unexpected. I apologize for the very sad post, but he meant so much to us.

Day #6 of record high North Atlantic sea surface temperatures.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "We are now in the endgame of our industrial civilization. It is too late for the modest reductions in greenhouse gases proposed by our politicians and their advisers... Gaia will fight back, and we will be the losers in this war."

Your 'moment of doom' for Dec. 22, 2024 ~ Ummmm? "I’ve interviewed dozens of self-described 'doomers'... nearly all have dedicated their lives to addressing climate change. And they can’t help but evangelize, warning everybody within earshot of the ways the coming century could change their lives."

Your 'doom quote' for today: "Facing up to climate reality and considering the need for collapse readiness is initially something one almost certainly doesn't want to do." www.amazon.com/Deep-Adaptat...

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky. Help us gain our following back Follow Retweet Repeat Join the park side @altyellonatpark.org

I finally had a contract lined up to start this month but it got pushed back to January or February. I am really desperately in need of work, as my unemployment ends in a month or two. If you can connect me to anyone who needs remote game writing/ND work, I’d appreciate it. (I cannot relocate)

Here's North Atlantic sea surface temperatures, with the maximum for the last two years compared to the maximum for every other year there is data:

Your bonus 'moment of doom' for today: "what most people really want is for civilization to continue as it is today, with new technology being unveiled to allow this. Unfortunately, it is that technology and our use of it that is destroying life on this planet..." medium.com/@emichaels01...

I went to the other place by mistake just now & I can't believe I put up w/ it for so long. It felt like ppl running around w/ machetes, swinging wildly, screaming, setting fires, while the TV in the background plays stories like "Democracy was always stupid and we are idiots. Also fruit is evil."

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world? Currently, I'm cuddling with Mabel & avoiding reality entirely.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.
