“The National Socialist party knows that the new government is not a National Socialist government, even though it is conscious that it bears the name of its leader, Adolf Hitler.” He was declaring war on his own government." That last sentence hits hard.

Maybe there is no presedence in US history, but there surely is at least 1 presedence in history. Quoting from The Atlantic: "The next day, Hitler announced new Reichstag elections, to be held in early March, and issued a memorandum to his party leaders. (...)

This is a good article, except for this part: "But the reason it feels like a coup is that we have no precedent for an administration treating its own government like a hostile territory to be conquered and exploited." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/o...

Each month from January to June 2024 was warmer than the corresponding month in any previous year on record. Each month from July to December, except August, was each the second warmest, after 2023, for the time of year. August 2024 was tied with August 2023 as the warmest on record.

Çağrı Mert Bakırcı-Taylor @cmb.evrimagaci.org · 10/01/2025

2024 saw three record-warm seasons for the corresponding time of the year: boreal winter (December 2023-February 2024), boreal spring (March-May) and boreal summer (June-August) at 0.78°C, 0.68°C and 0.69°C respectively above the 1991-2020 average.

2024 was the warmest year for all continental regions, except Antarctica and Australasia (2), as well as for sizeable parts of the ocean, particularly the North Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the western Pacific Ocean.

The monthly global average temperature exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for 11 months of the year. Going back further, all months since July 2023, except for July 2024, have exceeded the 1.5°C level.

Çağrı Mert Bakırcı-Taylor @cmb.evrimagaci.org · 10/01/2025

Each of the past 10 years (2015–2024) was one of the 10 warmest years on record.

Çağrı Mert Bakırcı-Taylor @cmb.evrimagaci.org · 10/01/2025

This is equivalent to 1.60°C above an estimate of the 1850-1900 temperature designated to be the pre-industrial level.

Çağrı Mert Bakırcı-Taylor @cmb.evrimagaci.org · 10/01/2025

2024 was the warmest year in global temperature records going back to 1850. According to ERA5 (1), the global average temperature of 15.10°C was 0.72°C above the 1991-2020 average, and 0.12°C above 2023, the previous warmest year on record.

Can't tell much due to the embargo, but Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is about to announce some pretty scary results. I fear that no one cares about it anymore and their children is about to suffer bad consequences.

I don't know if the social media is running out of content, or if the algorithms are stupid enough to show the same things over and over again, but I can't find anything that's not repetitive of something else that I've already seen. I hope it's true for everyone so we can move on from SM.

Also, after a certain level of wealth, the stocks you own become much more liquid than people have been led to believe. Possibly more liquid than the pesky cash we own, to be honest. www.wsj.com/articles/buy...

The shittification of Turkish Airlines is mind boggling. Removing free seat selection almost entirely, only 1 check-in baggage allowed, crashing food quality, price increases in almost every single add-on as far as I can tell... I guess it's time to say goodbye. I'll miss the direct flights.

Cool, but this is one of the more useless, divisive, and robotic features of social media, as it is solely purposed towards attention and not value generation. Ground News or All Sides style multi-perspective trending news would be way more useful than "AI generated social media trends".

Okay, I'll gladly take your money. Here are the rules: 1) Produce evidence that this amount exists in your bank account and you're willing to earmark it for this challenge. 2) Have your lawyer write up a binding contract that if your request is satisfied, you'll be legally required to pay.
