Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

This is still happening! The Wrong Dead Guy is just $1.99. It's like if Carl Hiaasen wrote a sort of fantasy/SF weird heist thing...There might even be a monster. I'm not sure. It's hard to remember. But it's just $1.99. You read it and tell me.

Apple workers in western NY doing maintenance in a nursery, aerating soil. "This work is hard on our lower backs. Because of the H2A wage cuts, our pay has gone down $1.04 per hour compared to last year, but the work doesn’t get any easier.” #WeFeedYou

If the AMOC collapses it will be a climate disaster to end all climate disasters, for Ireland especially.
It was one of those 'low probability, high impact' events, like ice sheet collapse in Antarctica.
Turns out it isn't low probability after all.

Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊
More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.
