It's a heavy subject, but I'd really encourage people to read this from my colleague Dorothy Slater, who spends her days working as a nurse in an oncology ward in Louisiana's cancer alley. Data centers are the latest addition to the miasma of pollution slowly killing her patients

This is fantastic. Lotta reasons the bathroom is an excellent stakeout spot, but my own anecdote:
During the 2013 shutdown, I waited outside the speaker’s lobby bathroom for at least 20 mins for Rep. Jon Runyan — a 6’7”, former NFL lineman.
When he emerged, realizing I had just waited for him outside the bathroom the entire time, there was a quiet acknowledgement of ‘alright, yeah, I should probably answer your questions before you tweet that I just took a shit for a half-hour.’

There's an old saying that goes like this: "Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight."
The reason it doesn't work here is because the blocking pattern is causing the nor'easter to retrograde and move backwards; so the proverb flips.

ICE is raiding meatpacking plants in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, leading to this remarkable statement below noting that "these types of disruptions will lead to higher beef prices for consumers" and highlighting disruptions to the entire meat supply chain.
A joint statement from Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Kansas Livestock Association and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association regarding the ongoing ICE operations in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas:
“The Kansas Livestock Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association are closely monitoring reported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity affecting agricultural communities in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
Our organizations respect the responsibility of federal agencies to enforce the law. At the same time, cattle producers, feedyards, dairies, livestock markets, processors, and other rural businesses depend on a stable workforce to care for animals, protect food safety, and keep the supply chains operating. Sudden workforce disruptions can create immediate animal-welfare, operational, and economic consequences that extend well beyond an individual business. These ICE operations are having a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the cattle supply chain moving. Additionally, these types of disruptions will lead to higher beef prices for consumers.
Reported impacts to our organizations throughout the past few days have been:
- Thousands of fed cattle slated for shipping to processors now delayed, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs.
- Workforce disruptions at numerous supply chain chokepoints such as feedyards, dairies, processors, feed and grain companies, transportation hubs, and community services.
These disruptions come at a time of enhanced focus and pressure on the cattle and beef supply chain. They are a costly and unnecessary impact to cattle producers already suffering from unwelcome political interference to both the markets as well as the physical supply chain. Frustratingly, the harm these actions cause to cattle producers last for days and weeks after such operations conclude.
We urge federal officials to conduct enforcement actions in a lawful, orderly, and transparent manner; respect due process; and communicate clearly with affected employers and communities.”

CNN reports Trump is so worried about Democrats winning the election that his "outside advisors" are telling him to declare martial law.
Scary shit and we need to be ready.

Sen. @PattyMurray: Do you believe an IUD is a form of abortion?
Trump's FDA Commissioner nominee: If I'm confirmed, I'll be briefed on that
Murray: I don't think you answered the question. It is deeply alarming that the prospective FDA commissioner doesn't know that birth control is not an abortion.

excellent, morally imperative piece by the Cornell Daily Sun’s editorial board, eviscerating the university’s cowardice, hypocrisy, lack of transparency, and pattern of failing to adequately address the growing issue of campus sexual assault.
cornellsun.com/article/2026/…
story just broke of a 20 year old who went to a party on Cornell's campus.
she was incapacitated and sexually assaulted by two men- and then one of them sent a message on snapchat to his fraternity that said "free pussy" and invited other men to join. they did.
zero arrests.

Ms. Rachel blasts Republican Christian hypocrisy: “Let’s be a more Christian nation and take away SNAP benefits. Let’s be a more Christian nation and put our neighbors and put the strangers in detention centers. Let’s make more and more money and not help others and let’s deny people’s healthcare. But the SNAP thing, that just breaks me. You’re gonna complain about a child having enough food?”
