They always are… this isn’t random this is how this administration has been since his first successful run for office.

So MAGA are yall gonna have a spine like ever? Are yall still gonna keep saying that America shouldn’t have involved themselves in other countries businesses or does that change now because daddy Trump said so?

There is always a tweet.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

When you get home from work and it’s your Friday and you read the headlines. 15 minutes ago the US bombed Iran nuclear sites. Ah yes a perfect end to the work week. I wonder what kind of bullshit insanity comes next week in this perpetual cycle of awful because morons who don’t care voted in mass 🙃

America's public lands are perhaps the single greatest asset our country has. Protected wilderness, open space parks, BLM, Forest Service, and grazing lands are without a doubt our richest resource, and aside from generating *literally* trillions in revenue, they're also vital for our survival.

CPC 8-14 day outlook still hinting at an early start to #Monsoon for #AZ. Today is the first "official" day of monsoon season. Getting gear polished off and just picked up a new DSLR. The time to chase is nigh.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

This is such an abhorrent and unacceptable way to use your influence on social media. “I know the national weather service is getting gutted but if they can’t issue warnings on time then completely gut them.” I just can’t fathom people sometimes.

Republicans don’t like the new pope because he’s actually a humble person that wants to show the world it is okay to be accepting of others and that hate is wrong. So yes of course MAGA is against this man. MAGA has shown us they open their arms to intolerance and their actions prove this.

I'm not sure what to make of this feature on Sunday Afternoon. Storm merger was taking place at time of photo. Most likely rain, I think. Ultimately it was quite a unique day weather wise across Arizona 5/4/2025 #Arizona #Storms #Landscapes #Desert #Rain #Weather

Yesterday West of Phoenix, AZ near sunset! Was a very chilly and windy storm chase day. Missed a lot of lightning but captured some bolts. Overall my first chase day in May for thunderstorms in Arizona wasn’t that bad. #azwx #storms #rainbow #lightning #desert #omegastormsystem

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes? Fuck ALL the way off.

The NIH is also now in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to broaden agreements governing access to their data, Bhattacharya said. In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into the data.

Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, but said their selection would be "run through normal NIH processes."

Twister in the desert? Well, there is at least two types of twisting storm related features in this shot from last monsoon season! Gustnadoes aren't that rare for Arizona, but funnel clouds aren't all that common either and this photo has both! #Monsoon #Arizona #Storms #Nature #Photography

Image of the black cat from Flow next to a photo of an adorable black cat tilting its head curiously at the camera. Text reads, "The global success of Academy Award-winning animation Flow has helped to increase the adoption rate of black cats." Not attributed but I fact checked it.

During summer in Arizona, it becomes very hot but also at times throughout the summer humid and stormy! During the evening hours powerful desert thunderstorms are common around higher terrain features like mountains! #Monsoon season cannot get here soon enough! #Arizona #Storms #Rain #Lightning #WX

Our largest winter storm of the season is about to bring feet of snow in the higher elevations of central and northern Arizona! Sedona, AZ may even get a couple of inches as well! Winter has been lackluster for much of the season but better late than never I suppose. #Winter #Arizona #Snow #AZWX

Since winter essentially never really impacted most of Arizona this season other than a few weak systems dropping around 6" I think I'm ready to move into spring so we can warm up and enjoy hiking season during the spring wildflower season and enjoy our amazing sunsets! #Arizona #Cactus #Sunset
