Dalmatians? They're spotted all the time.

Can Biden meet the moment at tonight’s State of the Union and win back a skeptical American Samoa?

Winter 2023-24 was easily the warmest on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data - a full 0.75F warmer than the second place winter (2015-16). Areas in dark red had their warmest winter on record (since 1895-96). Places in regular red had a top 5 warmest.

Holy cow this is frightening. You think it's just little old ladies and inattentive people who get successfully scammed? Nuh-uh. If it can happen to Cory Doctorow it can happen to anybody.

This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948. An air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel-owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Smog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. Let's talk about this environmental horror spawned by corporations!

if you elect four Speakers of the House you get to trade them in for one Speaker of the Hotel

Fantastic work, sir!

#Otis didn't hit Acapulco without notice. A hurricane watch was up on Mon PM, and a hurricane warning before dawn Tuesday. But forecasters and many others were flabbergasted by Otis's unpredicted leap to cat-5 strength. More in my post with Jeff Masters:

There is no such thing as a flawless public figure, but if you’ve wanted a very basic North Star on how to address issues from a left-wing perspective for the last several decades, Bernie Sanders has been one of your best bets

In this Chicago deli customers know what to expect: the best damn Reuben in town, challah french toast for the early risers, and no reporter from any media outlet anywhere ever dropping in to ask Democrats' opinions on any subject.

T-Pain shared a scrapped version of the hook to “Cyclone” where he recorded a bunch of additional harmonies and it sounds dope to me, I wish they would’ve left it

I don’t think that we can repeat enough times that this isn’t another shut down where congress is fighting with the White House or the House w the Senate. The govt is shutting down because the GOP speaker is fighting w abt 25 GOP weirdos.

Wow—Tim Scott says that workers who go on strike should be fired

A few days ago on my Instagram, I mentioned how hummingbird tongues are split on the end like a fork and coated in little reversible hairs called lamellae, used to scoop up nectar. The tongue flicks in and out 12-15x per second.

Here's a shot of that in action.

Learned about Victor Jara after playing in a venue named in his honor. The junta tortured public figures as a terror. They broke all the bones in Jara's hands, smashed them to paste. They hammered out all his teeth. They shot him and left him in the street for his mother to find.
