Breaking News! Code Bonkers! As of August 3rd, Nino 3.4 has crossed 2.5°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. The Climate Casino predicted August 1st for this crossing and now has a lot of fake-bets to pay out. Was the fix in? Next up, 3.0°C by August 21st.
The Land of the Free? I don't think so. The U.S. drop from 27th place in 2015 to 116th globally reflects findings from the V-Dem Institute Academic Freedom Index. This index measures how freely universities and scholars can research, teach, and share ideas without political interference.
When the best and brightest the party has to offer are reduced to tittering bellends performing parliamentary pantomime during votes with the potential to trigger an election, you *know* that whatever it is, that party is not a "government in waiting."

Y'know, the way alpha bro dudely macho men hide behind curtains.

Just to be clear, using the most current scientific terminology, global sea-surface temperatures are currently 'bonkers'. Will temperatures make it to 'uncharted territory' by the end of 2027? The Climate Casino is taking the Over.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

In Trump's wake we have another funeral. This time, it's Infantino's. May he join Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, and Michael Cohen et al. in the Losers Hall of Fame. When you align yourself with a crook, expect to get burned.🤡 #FIFA
