The ABC islands look like the place I grew up in west Texas. They're dry, karstic motherfuckers but they're still within the south side of the hurricane belt.

They get licked a little, every now and then.

It's not because we're not paying enough tax tho ...

The predicted "above normal" hurricane season didn't materialize, so they're working overtime to hyper-politicize the one morsel they were given to work with.

It's almost embarrassing to watch---and most normal people (voters) are watching the Corporate/Twitter/Media Left make asses of themselves immediately before the midterms.

Make no mistake, there are a significant percentage of folks who are profoundly disappointed this thing didn't make a direct hit on Tampa---because that would have been pay dirt.

I fucking despise what the Left has become.

Looks like something desecrated the buffet line

I love this...

There are entirely unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, which Russian state and non-state actors are amplifying, circulating already that the U.S. government, or other actors working in cooperation with it, were responsible. Spreading misinformation and disinformation, or enabling their spread, are common Russian government tactics to deflect attention from its own malign activities. ...

Classic Projection.

Our Propaganda > Their Propaganda

How ------- stupid do you think people are?

LOL @ "Bi-Sexual".

WTF is a "Bi-Sexual"?

You either--------- or you don't.

So ------- stupid.

Russian submarines were also observed not far from those areas last week

Umm....It's the ------- Baltic Sea

An electric car.

My bad.

I'm not talking about general internet misinformation. I'm talking about the "reliable sources" that society needs to be able to place their trust in

I get what you're saying, Miranda-Panda. I truly do. I used to be like you.

But your over-reliance on things like "Objective Truth" and "scruples" and "integrity" are deeply rooted in a very specific, white Northern European perspective.

What's important for you to understand is that, at the end of the day, we all exist on this Spaceship Earth, and that said Spaceship only has x amount of resources. Those resources need to be distributed to all passengers in the most equitable way possible.

Sometimes that means foregoing archaic concepts like "Truth". Sometimes that means moving from "Fact-Based" knowledge to "Narrative-Based" knowledge.

We're trying to build a better world. People far smarter than you are are working on it. You should be grateful.

Do you own an electric care yet?

Wikipedia is a major root cause of the problem.

We have ".gov" websites for a reason"-because they're able to accurately communicate reliable information.

Hopefully the Administration can work closely with their major internet Provider-Partners to streamline the flow of information so as to eliminate chaff from sources like "Wikipedia" and focus on the dissemination of factual information.

We can only hope.

Internet freedom is a weapon of war, how do you expect to tackle climate change if people don't believe it exists?

And it's not just climate change.

Even in 2022, a vast swath of the population still doesn't understand that "inflation" is caused by greedy corporations opportunistically raising prices to line their pockets.

There are a myriad of things, the veracity of which should no longer be open for discussion but still are (i.e. COVID vaccine efficacy, systemic racism, genderfluidism, Hunter's laptop, etc.), because of internet misinformation.

It's time to clamp down and fix it.

That takes a transnational effort of both State and Corporate actors working together to help us build a better world.

I thought Corky lived near Naples, but I could be wrong. Yav is somewhere in Florida too. Hope both are well

I suspect Yav is at the Love's up in Lake City paying the bills (there's a lot of out of state lineman in town) and Corky is re-reading his GlobalPolicy.Org article about "Neo-Liberalism" by candlelight.

I reckon everyone should be Grateful and Blessed that things are going as well in the midst of this Absolutely Worst Hurricane in the Whole Entire History of Geologic Time Because of Global Warming and Election Year and Ron DeSantis and Stuff.....

Ya'll keep your heads down and stay safe and stay glued to The Weather Channel while your illegitimate government blows up subsea pipelines in Europe for ideological ends.....

Fossil?

Was he vaccinated and boosted?

Yes.

And the outcome would have been a lot worse had he not been.

That's how science works.

Yes you are ;)

Good Party!
No Whiskey!

We go home!!

I worked with a couple of Persian chicks a few years ago when we were working in Trinidad. They're hot as ----, and sweet-natured, too.

A far cry from their hirsute, beastly cousins next door in Pakistan.

I hate you, Makhnovian scum.

I am still concerned about how far a cornered Pres Putin will go.

I'm more concerned about an illegitimate U.S. Regime blowing up subsea infrastructure full of hydrocarbons.

As a meteorologist, Hurricane Ian is the nightmare storm I worry about most

Can you bullet point them for me?

Occam's Razor seems to indicate that this Administration was involved, at least indirectly, in an act of environmental terrorism.

But I'm more worried about whether "Oneironaut" is a "real liberal"

Welcome to Clown World.

Snoofy are you a heroin user?

I just see patterns.

Honest question.

No judgement.
