After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.
Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

Have I mentioned lately that if you like my Paladin books, you’ll probably like MYSTIC & RIDER by @sharonshinnauthor.bsky.social ? Because they’re really good and I am rereading them now.

The wind drops, the radar hums softly, and the crew relaxes a fraction as the cargo ship cuts a clean path through the water. Then the first shudder runs

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

I love knowing their were riots over the smallpox vaccine/inoculation. Drop that one and watch them nod sagely and think you're one of them - until you casually mention that the rioters wanted *more* vaccines, because not enough people were getting them.

This dynamic is so common and Emma nails it. The pressure is on the non-assholes to stay quiet and keep the peace, and it often comes in the form of blame for reacting to the asshole & aggressively minimizing what you’re reacting to.
After reading so many online stories, I see one thing many people seem to miss in one dynamic
When a family group tries to appease the chronic asshole over the non chronic asshole who finally got sick of their shit and called it out...
it's because they want peace not justice and they're used

What matters, in any case, is not the book you swear on; it's whether you actually mean it when you say you will defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic.
And whether you go on to live up to that oath.
