Kendrick just dropped the anthem of the new USA. Ohio for 2025.

‘Drones watching, data stolen, freedom fading.
Musk gone, Trump’s alone—where’s your throne?
They shoot the truth, erase the past—how long will your silence last?’

This is the song we need. Play it loud.

🤔 Largely unnoticed by visitors to Ripon Cathedral, Henry Wilson’s 1913 repoussé pulpit gleams with Anglo-Saxon saints and burnished light.

📸 I worked hard here to capture how his craft bridges the past and present, the material and the spiritual. A real hidden gem. #thread

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.
Es ist doch schön zu sehen, dass große Teile der Zivilbevölkerung wissen, wie man mit solchen Leuten richtig umgeht – nämlich gar nicht.
They once called him a genius, now he’s got the common brain of a junkie.
Praise the Lord and He will hear you.
The new American way.

Now that ERA5's October preliminary data is in, the month ends at +1.54ºC above preindustrial making it the first month since May to go back over 1.5ºC and the 3rd hottest on record.

The 12-month running mean is at 1.5ºC

📝 All the above to be confirmed this coming week.

Trump won’t be using that toilet — there’s no adult diapers in sight, and he’d need a shower to change them.
Hunger’s a small price to pay when there’s a new golden Trump toilet to admire.

BlueSky is going to build the ability to silo people and entire groups with this technology silently. this is quite dangerous, considering how much of this site is already being gamed by bad actors and the ways this can and will be used to erase people and groups silently.

The Economist estimates Ukraine will need $389 billion in aid and weapons from 2026 to 2029, nearly double what Europe has given since the full-scale invasion began. With the U.S. pulling back, the financial burden now falls squarely on Europe’s shoulders.

The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S., according to internal Defense Department memos.
Der Kongress ist längst ausgeschaltet, faktisch stillgelegt. Fällt jetzt auch noch der Filibuster, hat Trump den Senat gleichgeschaltet – und die amerikanische Demokratie wäre Geschichte.
So Biden and the Dems wouldn’t get rid of the filibuster to help people but Trump will do it to avoid helping people

So damn predictable
wenn man kein ESTA bekommt, gibt es auch kein Asyl.

That’s great to see — and no shame if an 80-year-old struggles with it. That’s life.

For the moment, Melissa is moving NNE at 2 mph, so a slow walking pace. Expected to speed up a bit soon.

Sustained winds remain around 175 mph, and the pressure has dropped a tiny bit to 901 mb.

One of the strongest ever storms in the Atlantic, and by some measures in the world.
Definitive movement NNE now

Trump to troops in Japan: "Unlike past administrations, we will not be politically correct. You don't mind that, do you? When it comes to defending the US we're no longer politically correct. We're gonna defend our country any way we have to and that's usually not the politically correct way"
Lustiger wird es heute nicht mehr, schauen und lesen.
