Pluto wasn't discovered until 1930 but I'm pretty sure it was there the whole time.

Say "armed" or "they have guns" or something. That takes it up a notch for cops.

It's 80 degrees and people are concerned about the "heat wave."
Enjoy the beauty.

Say "Armed men with ballistic vests and masks are kidnapping people"
comment in response to

I'd call the police to report masked gunmen kidnapping someone off the street. It's true and accurate, especially when they refuse any form of identification. Why assume its ICE and not criminal activity. I'm not qualified to decide. I need 911 for that.

Climate lies told by climate liars are accurate and highly descriptive terms for what we are experiencing. Misinformation is so soft. We should call them liars now.

In case anyone is keeping track, I believe the total in the last 90 days is zero.

Pandering.
Nice that you took a meeting where you were told what other people were doing about the issue. Do you post about every meeting? Leaders give credit where due. They don’t seek it for doing their job.

There will be lots of cheap World Cup and Olympic tickets available if they keep up that kind of nonsense.

The bill exempts public lands in Montana in order to secure those two GOP votes for the bill. Imagine the political cynicism required to think its bad for your state but lets sell the public lands everywhere else. Just not Montana.
It it's bad for Montana why is it good for the rest of America?

Malignant narcissists will do that.

There is no incentive for the GOP to resolve immigration problems because it is such a winning campaign issue. What will they scare people with if they can't use caravans coming any more?

Pro tip: You instantly identify yourself as not being from California if you use Cali as it's name. Dead giveaway.

This is very much like closing the barn doors after the cows have gotten out. Tough action was needed long ago.
We could start by calling them "Climate Lies" rather than the much softer "misinformation". They are deliberate lies told by paid liars. They have also done a very good job.

They were at the negotiating table and Israel and the US bombed them anyway.

Maybe there is data that it’s somehow worse now but as a public defender all through the 90s I can tell you it was the Wild West and cops all thought they were Wyatt Earp. I have some stories.
I should write a book.

They are the most dangerously people on our streets. It’s always been the case. It appears worse because they get caught more often. They have always been bad where I practiced. We just couldn’t prove it.

The only thing that has changed in policing is now there are video cameras everywhere so they just get caught more often.

The expected consequences of the warming are increasingly happening ahead of predictions. It's like watching the worst case scenario on steroids.

Weird that he worries about it in June though.

Your kid has a grandma that loves him and will spend time with him. What a great gift to you both. A precious time denied to many people.
Enjoy the gratitude and don’t sweat the small stuff.

And still we are burning fossil fuels at record rates.
We are ahead of the worst case scenario for warming and for experiencing the effects and yet we continue to burn away the future without pause. Society is very broken.

People are not engaged in learning how to think. They are ceding the thinking to the machines. It leaves them vulnerable to all manner of deception.
It's how we got where we are right now.
