The Oct 1 ECMWF seasonal update is even wetter in California during Jan-Mar, and w/higher confidence, vs Sep 1 update. Nov/Dec are certainly leaning wet, but the real signal doesn't emerge until Jan-Mar. Jan and Feb have especially high potential to be extremely wet in CA.

Everyone else is suffering from Dem's historically catastrophic failure to keep Trump out of office. Democrats need to clean house but instead their rallying around the status quo to protect their gerontocracy and service to AIPAC and corporate money.

Why did they drop so precipitously under Obana, and stay so low under Biden? Do these number include plea agreements and consent decrees -- or was Merrick Garland actually worse than Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr on white collar crime?

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?

I used to be a strong union supporter, and I still am for non-government unions, but government unions are a disaster. OPD and Fire never stop ransacking us and corrupting our politics. OUSD's teacher union is threatening to strike as the district goes bankrupt. How do we get rid of them?

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations. Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.
This message is from me, Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia.
I believe that Wikipedia is at its best when we can have reasonable discussion rooted in a commitment to write articles that reflect a neutral point of view. I believe that's especially important on highly difficult or contentious topics.

I was asked point-blank in a high profile media interview about this article, and I answered with transparency and honesty: this article fails to meet our high standards and needs immediate attention.

As many of you will know, I have been leading an NPOV working group and studying the issue of neutrality in Wikipedia across many articles and topic areas including “Zionism”. While this article is a particularly egregious example, there is much more work to do. It should go without saying that I am writing this in my personal capacity, and I am not speaking on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation or anyone else!

I assume good faith of everyone who has worked on this Gaza “genocide” article. At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of WP:NPOV and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV that requires immediate correction. Remember: "This policy is non-negotiable, and the principles upon which it is based cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, nor by editor consensus."A neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: “Multiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.”

What I’m asking for
Be bold and start editing (WP:BOLD). Move from debate to concrete improvements immediately.

Assume good faith (WP:AGF). Avoid personalizing disagreements. Focus only on text and sources.

Attribute, don’t assert (WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV). The lead and body must not declare a legal conclusion. Present who says what, with attribution and dates.Balance by due weight (WP:UNDUE). Include significant, high-quality sources from all sides—governments, courts, NGOs, commentators. No side should speak in Wikipedia’s own voice.

Use the best sources (WP:RS / WP:V). Prefer primary official statements and major secondary coverage. Avoid synthesis (WP:SYN / WP:NOR).

Clarify scope. Separate factual reporting on conduct and casualties from legal characterization. Editors with strong, policy-compliant sources who have felt sidelined are welcome. Your participation is needed now. Editors are reminded this article falls under the Arab–Israeli conflict topic area; all participation must comply with the corresponding editing restrictions and civility expectations.

By focusing on verifiable sources and neutrality, we can quickly deliver an article that meets our standards for contentious topics. — Jimbo Wales Jimbo Wales (talk) 16:03, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
