Hey @ErinatThePost -- how is this possible?
I had to read this twice to make sure of a cringeworthy fact; this Washington Post story on the el-Sayed exchange w “Tommy“ does not even mention that Tommy is a paid right wing political operative, a staffer for Josh Hawley. Journalistic malpractice.

Dear Leader: While you struggle to pay credit cards that you used to buy groceries, I am pleased to announce my latest grift. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!

Zelenskyy on Yandex bot purge: "when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots."

GOP: Troy Jackson, were you or were you not at a Trailblazers game?
Troy Jackson: No, that was a Celtics game.
🚨 BREAKING: Republicans spent over $20k on anti-Troy Jackson ads in the wrong state.
They presumably confused Portland, Maine with Portland, Oregon

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

We never communicate what we will do next in our operations. Last night, we did not attack any energy facilities on the territory of Russia because President Trump said that there would be an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. We did not attack, while Russia attacked our gas stations, energy infrastructure, and other facilities.
I think it was Putin’s answer to President Trump. And the message from Russia was very clear – they don't know anything about the energy ceasefire. It's a pity, because they always find reasons not to stop this war. Which is why I think we need more pressure on Russia.

That’s now.
A new study has examined 20,736 scientific publications about climate tipping points. Several of those are estimated to be crossed around 1.5 degrees warming, i.e. any time soon: permafrost thaw, Greenland Ice Sheet, North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre.

Bot test: Burning fossil fuels threatens human civilization. Vanishing ice sheets and glaciers, rising seas, floods, saltwater intrusion of farmland, drought, heat waves. crop failure, extreme storms, social dislocation, and economic collapse all loom unless we decarbonize.

El-Sayed: Donald, please, I'm asking you, come to Michigan. Clearly your candidate can't speak for himself. He doesn't have anything to say. Clearly you are the answer. And you should tell everybody why they should imagine you on the ballot.
Here's the challenge: I think you are too afraid to come to Michigan because, you know, when I beat your candidate, I'm actually beating you. I dare you to come.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

.@SenatorSlotkin (D-MI) warns of President Trump using a national emergency "ruse" to gain American trust: "If you hear in the next 34 days that there is a new security threat... that somehow requires federal law enforcement or the military... an alarm bell should go off."

As forecasted 5 months ago, we're going to need a bigger y-axis...
Super-duper El Niño it is...
🚨 Within two weeks the peak of the "Super-duper El Niño" @NOAA mean peak forecast has increased by almost 0.5°C‼️
And more and more model runs are off the chart of the 4°C y-axis!
Who in the world is (getting) ready for this?

2023 👀
Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory
Taking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 °C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed.
