🚨🚨🚨According to NOAA NCEI, July 2026 was the warmest month on record for the Contiguous U.S. - beating out July 1936. This is devastating for climate deniers, who love July 1936 as a faux counterfactual. More importantly, it is devastating for all of us. 🔥🔥🔥
Mount Baker Wilderness has some of my favorite views.
In the last year in the U.S., over 10,000 monthly records have been broken, and almost 200 all time records have been broken. But apparently we hardly break records. 🤷♀️
In June, 2021, Quillayute broke its previous all time record high by 11° when it reached 110°. Quillayute, Washington is of course well known for its urban heat island with an approximate population of 400, and located near Hoh Rainforest.
OTD 46 years ago: May 18, 1980 the bulging north flank of Mount St. Helens slid away in a massive landslide. The uncorked volcano exploded & blasted rocks horizontally. 9 hours of explosive volcanic activity ensued, killing 57 people & forever altering the landscape and what we know about volcanoes

TRUMP: "I'm gonna fuckin' blow up all the fuckers! I wanna use all the bombs before I die! Helter skelter! Helter skelter! Race war! Race war! Fuck Easter and fuck you, too!" NEWS: "Trump promises to strengthen military in early morning Easter greeting."

For those keeping score, some areas of the Outer Banks have picked up more snow in the last 48 hours than Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes have combined over the past three weeks (13.0” total for both since Jan. 10).
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
“Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous.”
The shamelessness is the point. We know she's lying. She knows she's lying. If she were trying to convince the public, that would be admitting that public opinion matters. This is a performance of dominance. This is "truth is what we say it is." This is "you'll believe what we tell you."
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
