DeSantis campaign is losing because he lost the patronage of billionaires, who want the destruction of democracy but quietly.

"It’s always us versus them at the megachurches. So many white American Christians, arguably the best defended human beings on planet Earth, have been brainwashed into thinking of themselves as one election away from facing lions in the Roman colosseum.
Guns are practically sacramental in this worldview."

On August 20, 2023: Temperatures at the North Pole have been above zero for more than a day, a further indication that the latent heat tipping point has been reached and that no more heat can be consumed by sea ice melting.

@WeShall It's the new normal. Soon we'll become accustomed to it and stop paying attention.

Great news! Humans are now slower and perform worse at solving Captchas than machine-learning bots!

How much things have changed. The restaurant where I work has been there since 1967 and I have the 1967 lunch menu.
Back then I could have walked in, had lunch, a sandwich on Italian bread with lettuce and tomato. To pay I'd leave two quarters on the table, which covered lunch and a 20 percent tip.
Weatherbug is still dead. But the ads keep working! Whoo hoo.
@oliphant Yes. This applies exactly to my love-affair with libertarianism in the early 1970s. Haha.
@olav @morgfair Had an account on Twitter since the days we used it via SMS from flip-phones -- what it was originally designed for. Hah. Sometimes I was very active, sometimes didn't touch it for 18 months or more. Never was it deleted.
I downloaded and locked my account in November then didn't touch it for six months. Went back and deleted it. It was still there.
Welp, looks like WeatherBug went belly-up. Too much traffic out of So. Cal. I suppose.
It's always disturbing when this kind of thing happens. Services like WeatherBug crap out just when you most need them. Hahaha. I guess that's ironic.

Is there an indictment tracker? I've lost count.
@morgfair He couldn't stop me. I blocked the whole platform when I deleted my account.

HURRICANE HILARY!
Massive flooding due to heavy rains from Hurricane Hilary in Santa Rosalía, Mexico and Baja, California
If you are in the projected path of Hilary, take precautions! #AureFreePress #Breaking #BreakingNews #GlobalWarming #climatechange
@lovelylovely This is why I don't engage with such people anymore. I don't speak word-salad.
@Stormgren Nice! Hope to catch you on the air. 73 DE KW2P.
@yonabee Beautiful. Makes me hungry.

Hey, this is how they give marching orders to their deranged troops. I hope you have good protection and maybe give the FBI a heads up.
