While voting for this, I was shocked that the ban on gay marriage passed on 2006. Reminded me that even though we’ve had some shithead leaders over the years, at least we’re making some progress.

Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…

On a somewhat related note, Crime Scene Cleaner is such an oddly relaxing, thought a bit gruesome, game.

Honestly, it is all about sex punishment. In the conservative mind, getting pregnant is a consequence of sex - and if you need an abortion, then you shouldn’t have had sex. It’s that simple to them.

They don’t think in terms of medical problems or grey areas. Just: had sex, got pregnant, deal with the consequences.

Yeah but in cases like this, it was forced death.

Not only will they not care, they will dismiss it and joke about it. From the article (regarding a different woman who died from being denied life saving medical care):

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp called the reporting “fear mongering.” Former President Donald Trump has not weighed in — except to joke that his Fox News town hall on women’s issues would get “better ratings” than a press call where Thurman’s family spoke about their pain.

All about that dussy!

We should have expected it from the man who has a whole unit of measure named after him.

I agree with you, but just want to point out that your definition of “woke” doesn’t match their’s. It seems like you recognize that “woke” means recognizing that there are systems of oppression that exist which work against people that are not straight, white males.

Their definition of “woke” is simply something they don’t like or agree with.

It’s crazy that this is just as big, if not bigger than the Chipotle e. coli outbreak in 2016. It’s still quite common to see people referencing e. coli any time Chipotle comes up. I doubt McDonald’s will have the same problem, but we’ll see.

I wonder if people know that every time someone has to buy another replacement sign, that’s a $20 donation to Harris’s campaign.

But wait, if your smartphone is your camera, how did you take this picture?

Didn’t they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?

Specifically the Rich Men North of Richmond song. The singer explicitly stated that he wrote this song about them and it cracks him up to hear them playing it. But he does have a line in the song about not using taxes to help obese people, so I guess that’s good enough for the Republican party.

I was in the pool!

Ok, I read the linked sources from the article and think I understand this a bit better now.

I believe the twice as likely number from the headline is coming from this:

By statistically modelling storms in a 1.3°C cooler climate, this model showed that climate change was responsible for an increase of about 150% in the number of such storms (now once every 53 years on average, up from every 130 years), and equivalently that the maximum wind speeds of similar storms are now about 6.1 m/s (around 11%) more intense.

And I think the 200-500 times more likely number is referring to Sea Surface Temperatures that lead to major storms. So something like (and this is me talking, not how it’s worded in any of the source material) “when the Sea Surface Temperature is at 69° F then major hurricanes can be produced, and due to climate change, we’re getting temperatures that high 200-500 times more than we used to.”

I hope I interpreted that correctly.

I’m not smart enough to understand the difference of the “twice as likely” in the title and the “200-500 times more likely” in the subtitle.

The article also says “The burning of fossil fuels has made storms as severe as Hurricane Helene about 2.5 times more likely than they were in the pre-industrial age”.

And then says “A study by Climate Central published on Monday found the sea surface temperature around Milton’s path was 400-800 times more likely because of the climate crisis.”

What does that mean, that the sea surface temperature was more likely?

Avoid this area: Florida.

Yup, that checks out.

I’m curious if this is a straight port or if they updated anything.
