The Trump administration has removed the chapter on climate change from the "Reference manual on scientific evidence", an essential handbook for judges as they weigh evidence in court. The response of the American Meteorological Society has just been published (below). And...[1/2]
At any other time in history; this would be news-worthy.
Rep. Brendan Boyle:
Just 8 months ago they passed their big tax bill which included the largest tax cuts for billionaires in American history, paid for by the largest healthcare cuts in American history. Est. 15M Americans will lose their healthcare as a result of Trump’s bill.”
There will not be a lawsuit for defamation!!!
It’s true for a number of people, enticed by “the American” dream; who get here and realize: this is it? I’ve made a terrible mistake.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Thundershirts turned out to be a bit too snug for our boy but regular doggy tshirts are just snug enough to help him. He's fluffy and gets warm easy so I think the thickness of the thundershirt was a bit much for him.
Ours has anxiety with storm noises and fireworks.
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
Scanlon: I think we’ve got an embarrassment of folks who are deserving of impeachment, and the question is going to be priorities — who first?
There are certainly a number of people who should be subject to impeachment, criminal prosecution, and being banned from public office.
It was supposed to be inconvenient for you to go to Congress. You were supposed to have an issue you and your community felt so strongly about that you would put your life on hold to go fix it, generally leaving your actual profession and family at home. Congress was not supposed to be a profession.
And there has been one article claiming cannibalism with the orca because a chewed on fin washed up in Russia. There are so many things that could have resulted in that that it is funny that article is being referenced so quickly as fun new fact.
An inexperienced juvenile dolphin or a baby maybe might get startled enough to flee a bad direction and end up on shore, the entire pod stranding because omg orca is a stretch.
Yes but since they have long eaten dolphins it doesn't make sense that that same behavior would all of a sudden lead the dolphins to suicide an entire pod in absolute panic when an orca appears. They would have been adjusting as well and that adjustment isn't, whelp let's just die then.
After years of delay, the plaque to honor the officers who defended our Capitol on J6 was finally hung on the wall. Only they placed it in a part of the Capitol hidden from the public, which fails to comply with the law. Unacceptable.
Better headline: Republicans refuse to fund FEMA, TSA and CISA during their DHS shutdown.
Let's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban.
Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years.
Extremists won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.
But you would have to read more than one oddly posted and nicely pay walled article to know that. Instead it's more fun to blame an orca for a stranding event than to look at human interference or poisoning that can cause neurological damage and result in such things.
There's also been papers published about orcas working with dolphins to catch food in a cooperative way so that a dolphin sees an orca and just panics to the point of whole units stranding is ridiculous.
Well gee, I do have a degree involving animal behavior but the odd information contained in books does tend to negate the idea of an entire pod suiciding because a predator shows up when they have shown themselves to be perfectly capable of defending themselves or escaping.
I never said anything anti-audio jack. I miss my cables since more than once they saved my phone from a drop. I use headphones all the time and had the adapter and Bluetooth when those became the available options. They aren't likely to bring back the port so might as well adjust.
All my headphones work just fine, maybe you are just a tech snob?
Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.
Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General?
First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.
That would be neat but if you can afford the fucking expensive smartphone, you can also afford the $5/$10 adapter for ancient cabled headphones. Or you can put all that toward a cheap set of Bluetooth headphones that don't need a port.
Also, just because you seem to be a dick, go fuck yourself.
Alright dipshit, one species learns something new still does equate to another species suiciding in mass when they have a whole ocean and familiar space to work with. They just don't want to blame humans for the damage we do. They are grasping for an excuse to make it anything else's fault.
But sure, a dolphin that is capable of teamwork and attacking/killing sharks to defend themselves just flee in blind panic because an orca swims near.
And just now they start panicking onto shore? It's not like these are areas people haven't been in to notice the strandings. But no, all of a sudden they panic and death flee to shore in an area they have spent their whole life in.
