The cupcake analogy was the best explanation for me. Watch =ingredients present, may become cupcakes. Warning = cupcakes have happened, take appropriate action.

My favorite reply to Jackson’s footnote 12

Oh ok. I’m sure it is nothing to worry about, like having a 275km surveillance radar horizon. They wouldn’t be collecting data on unaware US citizens’ daily travel patterns or anything. Right? Although they look like the failed options for the Thanksgiving Day parade.

Not for altNOAA, who I’m sure already knows this, but there is a tree damage chart for estimating wind speed. However, I watched a video of this huge tornado and it’s possible that this part of TX had no trees to be damaged! All grass, dirt, and fences.

Civil disobedience, resistance, and non-compliance are our best tools.

I’m trying to collect quotes that encourage non-violent resistance, since the temptation of angry action is so strong.

The impulse to respond with violence is self defeating. We need to follow the examples of MLK Jr and Gandhi to use nonviolent resistance to win back our country.

I’ve seen several versions of this idea that those bros won’t be able to afford to own the libs soon.

Makes me think of this

@mandykathryn.bsky.social Hope you are well. Thought you might be amused by this sign from Harrisburg, PA today.
Protest sign saying: Tariffs - you keep saying that word, but I don’t think it means what you think it means.

A failure of empathy?

My on-screen keyboard displays at the bottom of the reply page. Beside the space bar there is a smiley that accesses emojis.

I like this version of the same idea.

Reminds me of this cartoon. preview.redd.it/ltqx3mkr8074...
At a table with 3 men, an oligarch with most of the cookies warns working man with one cookie that the immigrant wants the worker’s cookie.
