Just did a video on the expected coastal storm for next week in the northeast. Some away from the I95 corridor could be in for the big one! #wx twitter

10 truths I know:

1. It's the grid, stupid.
2. Immigration lifts all boats.
3. Prohibitions don't work, regulation does.
4. The US federal government cannot run out of money, just as a baseball team cannot run out of points.
5. Continuous economic growth is a cancer.
6. 16 inches of topsoil is all that stands between you and extinction.
7. There ain't NO away, to throw stuff.
8. Cars bad, trains good, bikes better, walking best.
9. Plastic is a crime.
10. Love is not a noun, it's a verb.

No other way to see this video as far as I can tell other than the link at the bottom.

In a typically well-argued and well-researched piece for the NY Times, Zeynep Tufekci explains what the review actually shows and why the science is clear that masks do work.

You may have seen the online kerfuffle a few weeks ago about a study that was released recently that indicated that there was no evidence that masks work against respiratory illnesses (see Bret Stephen’s awful ideologically driven piece in the NY Times for instance)

Russia is still able to get around economic sanctions.

Interfering with the Russian Gold Trade
The Russians are taking a page from the Iranians by using gold to avoid the sanctions imposed on the Euro and USD. But before we look at how the Europeans are trying to disrupt their gold usage, we must see why gold makes sense for Russia.

Our emergency alert system is not working as it should. Alerts disappear. The county emergency map page isn't updated. (but we know that they really suck at this, it's the local county not OES)

NWS has been the best so far.

Seeing videos of massive flooding in some areas.

Internet goes down then comes back for a few minutes then goes down again.

The warrant that allowed the DoJ to search Mar-a-lago included that there was probable cause TFG violated more laws then just plain ol obstruction. but also possibly 18 U.S. Code § 794 which carries a death penalty

this looks like another strategic leak by team Trump to downplay the severity of the crime

This, right here, is why I hate people so fucking much. Good news on this story, WFAA updated that he was rescued by local residents and animal control. I so hope he finds his fur-ever home soon. And when they catch the bastard that dumped him, I'd say a trip to the Davis Mountains is in order. Toss his ass by the side of the road with NOTHING.
