Rachel is actually expected to *restrengthen* slightly into strong TS, with sustained winds around 60-65mph prior to landfall. That is not far below hurricane strength (74 mph). Despite a relatively stable & dry airmass, ocean temperatures are *10-13F* above average in vicinity.

Map of Pacific basin-wide SST anomalies. Most locations are extremely warming, especially the equatorial zone (associated with a record-strength El Nino event) and right west of the coast of Baja CA (in Rachel's path).

Tropical Storm Rachel, which is now expected to make landfall near MX/CA border, is not currently a very impressive-looking tropical cyclone, with sparse deep convection & clear dry mid-level air intrusion. However, ambient ocean conditions are extraordinarily warm... [Thread]

“We are enforcing the nation’s laws. Why is that controversial?” The Fugitive Slave Act. The Three-Fifths Compromise. The Nuremberg Laws. Dred Scott. The Indian Removal Act. The Law for Protection of German Blood. Anti-miscegenation laws. The Defense of Marriage Act. The Reichstag Fire Decree.

Mullin began the press conference by saying "We are enforcing this nation's laws. Why is it controversial? Why would that be controversial?" As if all of human history doesn't show that laws and their enforcement can be very controversial (e.g., the 1765 Stamp Act and its impact on U.S. history).

is it unreasonable to ask an industry purportedly dedicated to the truthful dissemination of factual information to show the slightest fucking ethical backbone and awareness?

I don't do ad buys myself; that's why I say Corporate. But at this point... what else needs to be said? Just say it! We can't afford more of this, more of these people in power selling out America

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.
