I’m thoroughly enjoying the MAGA civil war.

It’s only going to get worse when Trump is no longer on the ballot - all the grifters are going to be fighting to be the supreme grift lord.
“We might like Candace and Tucker, but they’re not changing our opinions; they’re just saying what a lot of us are thinking.”

Christan Cooper — who voted for Trump — explains why she’s on a MAGA influencer unfollowing spree.

Fairbanks was balmy for the Interior.
Round one of the December 2025 cold snap: lowest temperatures (ºF) during the week ending Dec 12. Lowest reported temps: -58F (-49.8C) at Faro, YT and -56F (-48.9C) at Chicken, AK. As far as I know, no place with more than 30 years of climate observations set a daily record low. #akwx #Winter2025

Thanksgiving Day daily temperature in Fairbanks since 1904. Overall there's only a weak trend to milder Thanksgiving Days, but an almost complete loss of really cold days. All but one of the ten coldest Thanksgiving Days occurred prior to 1965. #akwx #Climate #Thanksgiving @leahwrenn.bsky.social

“Crum is a psychologist who studies s’thing deceptively simple. She examines how beliefs shape physiology. Not in the loose mystical way that phrase sometimes gets tossed around.

@nytimes.com That’s your take? Nostalgia for “a clubby world that’s all but gone.”
I’m familiar, by the way, with the argument that we just aren’t appreciating the NYT’s subtlety here; that it’s actually a searing indictment of this group of elites, just in a “show me, don’t tell me” kind of way. That take relies on ignoring that it’s in the New York Times.

Mid-November ice extent in the Bering Sea (west of Alaska) 1978-2025 based on NSIDC data. In hindsight, the step change between 2001 and 2002 is remarkable for its consistency. The 2002-2025 median is 65 percent lower(!) than the median of the prior 24 years. 1 / 2 #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing!

Chukchi Sea sea ice growth the first half of November has been slower than normal. Total ice extent now slightly below last year on Nov 15 but still above the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data, though not by much. Bering Sea ice extent is quite similar to the past three years. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

What this investigative reporting reveals is that this raid on an apartment building in Chicago was done to obtain video for propaganda clips. Shameful and disgusting.
