*2026 El Niño Ahead by a Mile* It’s remarkable for us scientists to witness El Niño’s evolution. If you had asked us if something like this was possible a year ago, it would have been a definitive no. But here we are… already more than 1C (& 3 months) ahead of the next strongest episode in 1997… 1/

These people aren't worthy of their offices. I'm glad Trump went after them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
And look, I'm just going to say it: antisemitism is doing to the US political left (not just leftists/DSA) right now, before our very eyes, what transphobia did to the British political left, and anyone who doesn't see it is choosing not to.
What happened in #USL-1 on Wednesday night? Lucas Meek scored one of the goals of the season with a spectacular bicycle kick while Connor Evans notched a goal and assist to lead Greenville Triumph SC to a 3-2 win against Athletic Club Boise. Full Highlights -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=-70e...
Pure, uncut nihilism.
emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social · 7d agoParticularly given that Trump has done so much of this or similar, I'm a bit sad they didn't include "defraud MAGAts at scale." The support numbers would still be sky-high. But it would be a useful demonstrative. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
Discussing trans in sports while the world burns around me.
Warrantless surveillance on your phone because you criticized the president is dictator behavior. Either there are severe consequences for this or we just all need to accept that the United States is now a dictatorship.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last wk.MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: The Secret Service felt pressure from the Trump admin to surveil James Comey. Documents detail worries about the legality of the directive to surveil Comey — including surreptitiously tracking Comey's phone without a warrant — in the wake of his 'seashells' photo.
It's funny how every post like this has a ton of comments complaining about the 34%. There are a lot of depressed people on this app. Maybe it's not for you.
Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social · last wk.I will confess that I did not believe he would get below 35%. I thought that was his floor. Color me intrigued.
They are doing this to feed their content machine, and if he doesn't respond, it short circuits that. That's a good thing.
[Christopher M. Federico]@chrispps.bsky.social · last wk.I don't stan Fauci in any mawkish resistlib way but I do not blame him for not wanting to play along on television with a gaggle of conspiracy-addled degenerates who are objectively beneath him in terms of intellect, culture, and values
yeah look the default bad Democratic candidate is either 'shitty tweets' or 'boringly careerist' and the default bad Republican candidate is 'serial rapist' or 'literal Nazi'
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · last wk.If the entire Democratic Party is being asked by the press and pundits about a few DSA candidates in NYC, it seems like the entire Republican Party should be asked about their colleague who has been credibly accused -- by another colleague's daughter -- of repeated acts of violence.
At some point, the folks who can conjure this image will be swamped by those who can't, not to mention the increasingly rapid die off of those who can.
McJulie@mcjulie.bsky.social · last wk.There’s a character who pops into people’s minds when you say “Republican” and it’s still basically early-stage Reagan. That guy is “good on” crime, national defense, patriotism, Christian values, the economy. He’s strong and tough and projects American strength to the world.
This sort of behavior by @katmabu.bsky.social is despicable. She's a bad faith actor. There is nothing wrong with his question, and she knows that.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.Man this is awful. This was a sincere question. I was happy with the discussion that came out of it. But I wake up this morning to nonstop abuse, because one of Bluesky’s cult-like figures has (pretty unfairly) attacked me as not understanding people need food. This isn’t good or sustainable!
1/ This is Nick Adams. He’s a big deal in MAGA world. He’s got 638K followers on X and 2.1M on Facebook. President Trump even appointed him to a role at the State Dept. But when I started digging into Adams' nonprofit for "civics" education, something didn't look right ... 🧵
Mitch McConnell isn't dead, but he is dying, and the best possible situation for Democrats is the one we have now, where he's too sick to leave the hospital but too stubborn to resign, and you should be extremely suspicious of people demanding Democrats rescue the GOP from this situation.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

The amount of Ohio State gear I see here in South Carolina is unbelievable. Ohio must really suck. Everyone's fleeing.
A. Mamdani and his team are much better communicators than Biden and his team. B. They literally have an example in the story of a woman who wasn't a supporter no longer cars about the socialism label. Seems like a lesson to me!
Dana Houle@danahoule.bsky.social · 2w agoA. Biden did this B. A Democratic mayor (in office 6 months) with an almost entirely Democratic city council, in a city that votes 2-1 Democratic in presidential elections doesn’t have a lot of lessons for how to win & govern outside cities & heavily Dem districts.
12K likes and counting for the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. I think some of that is bot content (or blue wave accounts which may as well be bot content) but a bunch is audience capture turning these freaks into would-be Michael Avenattis.
Does no one understand how the current situation benefits democrats? What is this shit? People are addicted to outrage.
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 2w agoI want to be the first to congratulate the reporter(s) who are feverishly gathering intel on Mitch McConnell's status right now that will be published in a bestselling tell-all book in about a year.
Not ideal that the world's energy and fertilizer supplies rely on the judgement of a President whose main qualification is that he was on TV who is being advised by a SecDef whose main qualification is that he was also on TV.

China racing to replace billions of cars, trucks, and motorcycles with their tech while we do ... this. Truly the dumbest people are running our country.
e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online · 2w agoah yes, air taxis and supersonic jets, two vital and primed-for-success ideas that are just being held back by reckless bureaucrats
He just needs to grab them by the pussy to show them who's boss.
Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump: The Iranians are desperate to meet with us, but until they're ready to do significant things, we're not interested in meeting with them.
the current Argentina team is like an NBA team made up of Michael Jordan and 10 Ron Artests
