@DylanBaddour I live in CC and studied this for my bachelor's capstone and projected that even a 30mgd desal plant won't be enough water to satisfy industrial thirst in less than a decade. Population looks to stay flat.

@rolanberrypie @DylanBaddour It gets worse. Industry has a sweetheart deal where they're exempt from all drought restrictions through level 3 (where we are now) if they pay a tiny fee of about $0.006 per gallon.

ICE murdered a Texan last March and we are only just learning about it now.

They are once again offering the excuse that this was done in self defense, but forgive me if I am extremely skeptical after they’ve been caught lying about that exact same thing multiple times already.

Decent hail in Ingleside, Texas tonight! Maybe half dollar as it fell.

A thread of videos from today’s flight into Hurricane Melissa

In this first one we are entering from the southeast just after sunrise and the bright arc on the far northwest eye wall is the light just beginning to make it over the top from behind us.

"no one has died" because of feeding USAID to the woodchipper, Elon claimed. In this devastating piece the NYT went out and learned some of their names and stories:

I've missed opportunities because I'm physically able to do them, including a summer internship tour of AK volcanoes.

Good to push for access in society. It may not get me to the caldera of a volcano, but I can fly a drone & still take part.

I hope all 4 people who got to watch the #PaulTyson fight on @Netflix enjoyed it.

A remarkable series of photos taken by @dougmillsnyt and posted on NYT, where you can see a bullet fly past Trump's head, Trump touching his right ear, and then removing his hand with blood on it:

But honestly fuck that guy who shot at him bc this truly made everything ten times worse.

[U.S. Secret Service Office of Communications @SecretSvcSpox]

Here is the latest information from our investigation. We are grateful to the Secret Service team and our law enforcement partners for their swift action. Our thoughts go out to the families affected by this tragedy.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

Stop watching conspiracy theories form in real time and start making a healthy dinner for yourself or your family.

Anything that you're gonna find out tonight will be more accurate and well-sourced tomorrow anyway.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

Saying this without snark: News outlets using cautious phrasing before all the information is known is good, actually. You shouldn’t make extremely explosive claims before having confirmation.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Political violence is terrifying. I know.

I’m holding former President Trump, and all those affected by today’s indefensible act of violence in my heart. Political violence is un-American and is never acceptable—never.

[Alec MacGillis @AlecMacGillis]

This is the first shooting at or near a US president or presidential candidate in the era of social media. (Zuckerberg wasn't even born yet when Reagan was shot.) Take it easy out there, everyone.

By late June-early July standards, the overall environment looks unusually conducive for tropical development over the east-central MDR next week.

A few easterly waves will get tangled up with a pair of Convectively Coupled Kelvin Waves (CCKWs), favoring much lower than average wind shear, a generally divergent upper-level environment, & high deep-layer moisture, all superposed onto an exceptionally warm tropical Atlantic.

Recent bullish trends in NWP models are likely real & a response to the leading/ascending phase of the CCKW approaching the tropical Atlantic.
