Cops got plenty of masks for tear gassing people. And that's the only time they bothered to use them.

They're also the only profession that always counts COVID as an on the job death.

I'm pretty sure every time a cop dies regardless of the cause it is counted as an on-the-job death.

I saw another locust today.




Touched it and it sprouted a pair of moth like wings and flew away.

I know we have brown grasshoppers in the United States, and I know they have a locust like phase, but I don't think that's what this is because I've never seen a grasshopper with wings like this. Third one I've seen this week.

Probably premature to say the rocky mountain locust is back but I sure am seeing a lot of bugs that look a hell of a lot like them


Edit: looking into it it might be a high plains locust a couple hundred miles outside of it's range. They last swarmed in the 1930s!

Don’t like it, looks smug

I think the left came up with some really good answers to social questions in the 19th century, too. most of the development in that area (as far as having an effect on political economy) since, has been on the right, from Keynesianism to neoliberalism to fascism. that’s why they’re winning

Wow, so I've posted at length about El Nino in this thread. You can view my other posts for that information.

Some really crazy poo poo has been happening right now with that:



This is huge. I won't even bother explaining what this chart is, all you need to know is that we are currently in the beginning to mid stages of a second major supercharge cycle for this year's El Nino.

It's going to be a pretty crazy winter if the rest of this active event verifies like the model is charting (and it's been doing pretty good, so I think it will, but we'll see)!

It will take several weeks to see the warm water hit the Galapagos area (known colloquially as nino 1.2 region) but it's going to charge us up right as we go into fall. Woo baby.

Unless something seriously changes, we are looking at the strongest classic-style (far EP based canonical) El Nino event since 1997. Only real question in my mind at this point is how much it will grow from here. After 3 years of La Nina, there is a LOT of latent warm water in the west pacific to push east. Therefore the top level cap on how strong this El Nino can be, is VERY high.

I'm pretty sad that I chose this year to move from CA to Seattle cuz I would love to be in the thick of it.

The entire world is going to feel the power of this event, we ain't seen nothin' yet.

also while i have no doubt that its probably true you can increase heat tolerance by a number of differnet mechanisms, i do not think that the populations that are most susceptible to getting heatstroke are likely to, or even be able to, do those sorts of preventative behaviors

like are 70 year olds going to start a process of heat therapy? is a retirement home going to have coordinated heat exercise days? like, whats the liability the first time a 90 year old has a heart attack because you're doing a system-wide cool for the summer heatstroke practice

i have literally never talked about broad climate change patterns with my 7 year old, and tonight, after reading and songs and good night sleep tights, she propped herself up wide awake and said, "can we stop climate change?"

so uh lol

the overall gist of the ensuing conversation was, "you know how we say you can't take a rock home off the trail because if everyone took a rock home off the trail there'd be no trail left at all? well, it doesn't really matter if a company comes in and just makes the entire woods a big parking lot"

A few days ago we were doing an activity to teach our 3 year old about pollution and while we were able to filter the small cup, the kiddie pool just wouldn’t get clean. Attacking it, scooping it, and dropping in coffee filters in didn’t work. Eventually the only answer was not to have polluted in the first place.
