I am in my sixties. Ask me anything. The answer to this question is: we had maps. They were made of paper. We looked at them before we started driving and memorized the salient points.

This nearly made me spit out my coffee laughing! But sadly true in this age. Computers were supposed to be helpful and tools, not the weapons that AI has made them. I still have faith in a Roddenberry-esque future though, even if I never live to see it. One day these asshats will get their karma…

The Parti Québecois, a party whose hold raison-d'être is separatism, recently said they were putting all separation talk on the backburner for the remainder of Trump's term. Do you know how insane that is? Trump healed 200 years of Franco-Anglo tensions purely by being a giant asshole.

From the article: "Indigenous peoples [...] account for more than 42 percent of all wildfire evacuation events in Canada … because [...] colonial reserve policy put them on land nobody else wanted, land that now happens to be burning hotter and more often than almost anywhere else in the country.”

And then, call numbers in hand, to spend hours wandering dimly lit stacks seeking books and bound journals, retrieving them one by one, even sitting on the floor for minutes on end to try out a few pages. It was a Paradise, but not to last. "it was all shining, it was Adam and maiden" Dylan Thomas

@robinsonmeyer.bsky.social at @heatmap.news points out that the smoke days we're experiencing were not foreseen by climate models & so nobody has reckoned on their cost in lives, health, & economic disruption—which appear to be MORE than EVERY OTHER climate impact PUT TOGETHER.
How costly? “When monetized,” a group of Stanford and Princeton economists wrote in Nature last year, in the first major study on the topic, “the climate-driven smoke deaths result in economic damages that exceed existing estimates of climate-driven damages from all other causes combined in the U.S.A.”

You read that right: The cost of climate-worsened wildfire smoke alone is larger than what earlier studies said every other estimated cost of climate change would be, combined.To summarize, wildfire smoke did not appear in our economic simulations of climate change. As recently as a few years ago, we did not really know that days like today — or June 7, 2023; or September 15, 2020; or September 9, 2020 — could occur. Then they happened. And happened again. And then we studied them and discovered that, in fact, they may be more expensive for the U.S. economy than we once thought climate change itself would be.

The entirety of the Boundary Waters is being evacuated due to wildfires, led by eight fearless Wilderness Rangers paddling around to campsites.   1,000,000 acres. 2,000 campsites. 4 teams of rangers. 2 rangers per canoe.
Paddlers make their way towards the Fall Lake entry point of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness as wildfire smoke fills the air on Monday, July 13, near Ely, Minn. (Erica Dischino/For the Minnesota Star Tribune)

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

Democratic politicians telling us today how sad they are about Lindsey Graham's death because he purportedly had such a "great sense of humor" are why Democrats are currently struggling with a base angry and resentful at the evil agendas promoted by the likes of vile toadies like Lindsey Graham.

Bonita tarde, amigos. 🤗 Caballito de mar pigmeo de Bargiban, de las aguas tropicales del Indo-Pacífico. Mal nadador, se sujeta a un coral y ahí vive. Su mimetismo es tan genial que no fue descubierto hasta 1969, por el científico Bargiban, no en el mar, sino en un laboratorio observando corales. 🥰

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Like many people who have worked in politics for decades, I am baffled and upset to see candidates who say they are going to try to make things better defeating candidates who say they are trying to make it more or less like it was in the years before things tipped over into Oaf-Style Fascism.

Black and white meme. An older man with thin hair and a rumpled shirt leans out of a window, elbows on the sill, looking down as if calling to someone below. Large bold white text is split top and bottom and reads: YOU BOY and ARE THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ OPEN OR CLOSED TODAY. The humor comes from a vintage scene paired with a modern geopolitical question.
