waking up to see that melissa has strengthened even more and that she’s making landfall near where my grandmother and a lot of that side of my family lives was not on my bingo card
Hurricane Melissa continues to strengthen as it approaches western Jamaica. The storm now has 185 mph winds with a minimum central pressure of 892 mb.
Melissa is one of the strongest-ever Atlantic hurricanes, and it'll rank among the most intense storms ever observed at landfall anywhere on Earth.

I hope those who like to indulge in the occasional Caribbean holiday locks it in.
I hope you’re ready to move differently and direct your resources toward locally owned establishments. As Jamaica rebuilds, I hope you commit to avoiding resorts that hold their beaches hostage.
Support the people.

my mom (in kingston) just lost electricity while I was talking to her, things are definitely heating up
What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

so sad that only murders in the building is on THAT streaming service, season 4 has been so fun and also has a subplot of oligarchs being the new mafia and trying to control the narrative which feels eerily on theme

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Star Trek SNW is intentionally a genre-jumping, tone-shifting, exploration of ideas. It’s okay to not like that, but it is definitely the whole point. So was TOS. Go watch Catspaw, Mirror Mirror, City on the Edge of Forever, and Squire of Gothos, then try to tell me SNW isn’t doing the same thing.

ever since I cleared out my credit card debt and it got reflected in my credit score, instagram has been advertising real estate to me in the oakland hills and luxury properties in jamaica and I just have to say the timing is suspicious 😒😒

for the love of god can we not just build more housing? truly the dumbest timeline
In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.

honestly this I think is one of the single largest issues across the world and I don’t know what it will take for this to be actually addressed
really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not
