So I think it is fair to say that the warning lights are flashing--in California, and also beyond. This extreme El Niño event will have widespread global impacts. We've never seen an event this big before in the context of our rapidly warming climate. Expect some surprises.

ECMWF is also indicating potential for *extremely* high ocean temp anomalies (>= +10F) along immediate CA coast. That would profoundly affect CA winter temps & amount of moisture available to landfalling storms. It will also have huge implications for coastal ecosystems.

Also do the honest work of eliminating any trace of plagiarism in your beloved product. How? Not my fucking problem! If you can’t run your business / technology without stealing other people’s work, it deserves to die. Personally I’m happy to see it die, so don’t try to make it my responsibility.

In case anyone missed it at the time, a part of why schools handle sexual violence so badly is because perpetrators were more involved in writing Trump’s 2020 Title IX regulation. It literally comes up in the Epstein files.

Heat kills 9,000 in the US each year — at least 5x higher than the reported total — but likely even more, and climbing. The 2025 US murder rate was 4.1 per 100k citizens, about 14,000 people. The heat Big Oil caused and lied about for decades is now murdering nearly as many people as all murder.

In Maricopa County, Arizona, which has put in place systems to more accurately count heat deaths, the number of people murdered by Big Oil's extreme heat now averages TWENTY SEVEN TIMES more than the number murdered by murder: 413 to 15.
CDC estimates an average of 413 people die from extreme heat in Maricopa County, AZ. 

Which is greater than NPR's model estimate of 168Graph of Maricopa County Homicides 5 year trend.

15 in 2025. A 5 year high of 29 in 2022.
