media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

People miss calls from sitting presidents because they won't answer unknown numbers. Polling has to somehow evolve or it's fried.

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

Oh no.

Michigan's primary is in four days and I can't wait to never hear about the Michigan primary again.

The burden is always on us lefties to welcome them, debate them, compromise with them, find middle ground, and generally make them comfortable. It’s totally one directional. No one is calling for Truth Social to make any room for us.

Do you know how many STEM grads are working retail right now because there are no jobs in their field?

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Hahaha. I've never thought of it that way, but I guess I do have a pet plane, don't I? 🛫

omg you have a pet plane. You rock dude.

Bluesky's entire userbase is people who left bad social media websites. Do you think we won't leave this one too if you entice the Nazis to come over here for "balance?"

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

I love when this happens on satellite imagery because it reminds me of Mike Wazowski every time.

Drove through the airport this morning and saw three planes. Turned on the LAX livestream at the start of my shift this afternoon and saw my favorite plane (N502DN) take off. I'm glad my addictive personality chose airplanes instead of tequila or Marlboros.

The cat is officially out of the bag. I promised a consequential first, here it is! On (or around) October 6th, for the first time in its 20+ year history, the SPC Mesoanalysis will be available to the field in real time via NCEP NOMADS. Oh, and it’s in NetCDF, not GRIB.

Maybe they can help Mayor McCheese next.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino is seeking the Trump administration's help to stay in office and has scheduled private talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the NYP reports. Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson later said Rubio had no plans to speak with Infantino.

Sunday nights in August mean fireworks in Animal Crossing. 😍

This El Niño event is making the last few strong ones (2015-16 & 2023-24) look like mere child's play. Only 1997-98 holds a candle to this one in the modern era.

Alex Boreham@cyclonicwx.bsky.social · 4d ago

In July, the equatorial subsurface east of the dateline was warmer than it has ever been, beating 1997's peak by 0.36°C! This value tends to peak in the fall so we may still have more to go. Yet another record broken by this very strong El Niño event!

Awesome to see the center of high pressure over northern Ontario perfectly traced in the puffy cumulus clouds this afternoon:

This checks out on satellite imagery. This is late May versus mid-July. England's greenery is toast.

In our latest press release we take an early look at the July stats: just how dry has it been? bit.ly/45xyDEF

January-July temperature ranking pam for the Contiguous U.S. compared to all January-July periods since 1895. Overall the 2nd warmest (2012). Is everyone in the West/Southwest OK? 🔥🔥🔥

July 2026 was the second warmest July on record for the Contiguous U.S. It finished slightly warmer than July 2012 and slightly cooler than July 1936. As a reminder 1936 was an overall cool year. 🔥

Through extraordinary efforts, @windbornewx.bsky.social successfully navigated a controllable balloon above powerful Typhoon Dolphin, descended into its eye, then collected multiple vertical profiles as we circled inside its eye. A first of its kind type of hurricane data collection.

It’s pretty funny how whenever Nintendo has the most successful console, everyone just kinda pretends it doesn’t count as a real video game system.

The $500 console is dead. Even after the RAM crisis ends, the era of affordable gaming hardware is gone for good. https://bit.ly/3ROAvpc

Senators make $174,000/year with no performance or attendance requirements. He's evil, not stupid.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

I love these rah-rah posts from local news pages trying to gin up engagement. My favorite thing about Rockingham County is the "welcome to Guilford County" sign.

Michigan's primary is in four days and I can't wait to never hear about the Michigan primary again.

The overarching goal was to usher in the Deconstruction Era and they've been successful at that so far. The true measure of success will be whether or not future Democratic governments have a will or way to reverse the damage.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 6d ago

Something I think that underlies a lot of debates within the Democratic party and center-left right now is whether or not you think Trumpism has been successful as a political and ideological project. (Not, obviously, whether it's been good or not).

I'm convinced that guys putting "not looking for pen pals" in their dating profiles is an offshoot of America's literacy crisis.

Alright, this is really freaking cool... There are mesovortices embedded in Super Typhoon Dolphin's higher level clouds.

Important personal news: I had eggs for dinner and didn't get the ick halfway through eating them. 🥳
