So in the last few months I've had a bug with my youtube notifications. I tagged @YouTube and they told me a way to maybe fix it, but this is too hilarious to correct it. Here's a thread about what I've been gathering in the last few months

Alguien tiene la foto de Rajoy en el barco del narcotraficante al que se subió en una campaña electoral? Me la podéis enviar? Gracias!

If a company is too big to fail, then it’s too big to remain privately owned. You can’t expect taxpayers to carry the risk while shareholders enjoy all the rewards.

After watching vibecoders flood the pokemon fangame & romhack scene for the past mouth or two I can confidently say that gamefreak is certainly not as creatively bankrupt as some people claim.

Quando há furacões também se age assim no vosso país ídolo EUA óbvio que há muitas “arestas para limar” mas prevenir é prevenir mesmo que não aconteça o pior caso possível este país é só deixa andar até à desgraça quando se previne cai o Carmo e a trindade

[Cat ✨ @slasysh]

Tu tens noção que a previsão era uma situação similar à de Leiria durante a hora de ponta na zona com maior população do país certo?

O problema é que esta tempestade foi completamente fora do que os modelos previram mas é a natureza

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

i mean, just impeachment would've been okay with me... seems a little extreme

E se o charles foi inventado pelo charles coins para conseguir afastar as manifestações e ao ver que instalou o mercado de natal foi-se embora?

[Cau 🎀 @caurazon]

O Charles, tal como todos os homens, prometeu tudo e entregou nada

@retro_dodo As a romhack dev, if you're too lazy to actually put in the work to make a hack, just go do something else. Development is supposed to be inspired, and most importantly, fun. The best hacks are the ones where you can feel the soul put into them and it's pretty obvious

noção realmente é algo que nem toda a gente tem, não é? e respondendo à questão na primeira resposta “se sair à rua morre?”: o ano passado morreu um padeiro de madrugada por levar com uma árvore em cima por causa das tempestades, por isso, sim!

J'ai entendu dire qu'elle était une diva de la scène underground portugaise. Une poétesse délicate qui parle de l'expérience d'être une « bulle de savon » et de l'envie, pour le lecteur, de la faire éclater.

People are so used to giving Nintendo crap for performance, but now Zelda is 60 fps and GTA is "targeting" 30, suddenly everyone is quiet.

Weird.

Primero insultaron a algunos periodistas en sus actos.
Luego les vetaron la entrada a sus mítines.
Negaron entrevistas durante años a cualquiera que les pudiese incomodar.
El lunes impusieron su propio público en @LaRevuelta_TVE.
El miércoles le piden a @JordiWild que ellos ponen las cámaras y el equipo técnico. Y se quedan los derechos de la entrevista.
Y todo esto sin haber llegado a la Moncloa.
¿Qué hará @Santi_ABASCAL cuando llegue a gobernar? Siempre podrá decir que él ya dio pistas del tipo de “democracia” que quería.

Já na pandemia foi o mesmo. Vocês odeiam os vossos filhos. Usam a escola como depósito de crianças. Não aguentam estar com eles de vez em quando? Não os tivessem.

☀️ Conditions have begun clearing in the Lisbon district as rain continues pushing inland.

I’d like to share a few concluding thoughts about Storm #Charles.

Storm Kristin at the beginning of the year was a rude awakening. It showed us what the atmosphere is capable of, but not every storm will be of that magnitude. I think the earlier warnings and preventive measures for Charles were a step in the right direction, it’s always better to be aware of a risk rather than ignore it. The @ipma_pt and @ProteccaoCivil did well in trying to protect the public.

I think the biggest failure with Charles was the extreme alarmism amplified by different media outlets. Claiming that Charles could be worse than Kristin or warning of mass destruction only creates fear and anxiety — it doesn’t help people be better prepared.

This is why I feel it’s of utmost importance to recognize the danger but also give attention to caveats, or factors that could diminish the risk. With Charles, the main caveat was a more southern trajectory, but this was largely ignored.

Even though more and more model guidance was suggesting a serious storm for Portugal just 2 days before its arrival, there were a few models that still kept the storm south, cutting down on the intensity. This “lingering” uncertainty is why I still had doubts. This is why I kept emphasizing different potential scenarios.

In the end, and very fortunately, we evaded the worst-case scenario by a large margin, and we can be grateful for that.

To conclude, a special thanks to everyone who has supported my posts and updates here on X and other platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram throughout this storm and before. Reaching millions of people with important and accurate weather information is my #1 priority, and I will always strive to do this to the best of my ability.

Have a good rest of your evening, and until the next weather update!
