While Ontario and Quebec forests burned this spring and summer, causing dangerous levels of smoke in Canada and the USA, @fordnation kept a lid on a climate change report completed in January that warned of the growing risks of such fires and a cacophony of other dangers.

@SadButMadLad@DavidVance Even Republican congressmen have ditched Trump’s war. The end is nigh. Trump is months from being dumped in the dustbin of history
@SadButMadLad@DavidVance The Persian Gulf is a region, something you might have noted if you weren’t obsessed with defending the dumbest American president ever.
@SadButMadLad@DavidVance The IRGC is winning this war of attrition because such a war is not about the battlefield — Trump has cornered himself into a political corner: either he commits ground troops or he appears weak to American voters, and neither choice is tenable.
5/5
@SadButMadLad@DavidVance The U.S. Midterms loom; even in his dim-witted stupor, Trump realizes he has alienated enough of his base to lose the House and potentially the Senate. He has empowered Iran to throttle the Strait of Hormuz, further driving inflation beyond his tariff wars.

@SadButMadLad@DavidVance Iran had no allies beyond its proxies in the region — it’s a Shia regime in a region of Sunni nations.
You appear to nothing of the region.
As to attrition, Iran is winning, much like the North Vietnamese and the Taliban; Trump’s war is driving inflation and killing Republicans.
@colemadison15@Lyr1ks_@CutsfromCorner At 13 he was 6'9" so it is only in more recent years that he had to develop some skills to compete against other bigs; has good quickness for his size and a strong frame, so scouts like his upside. Still a bit raw but has been improving.
I'm giving a talk at the @umanitoba today on peer review & AI. My slides will be available after the presentation.
It's based on this article & my work at @UniofOxford@CebmOxford
Anthony Volpe drive his wRC+ to 166 with a two-run homer Tuesday.
Volpe has walked nearly as often (8) as he's struck out (9).
Caballero is a good runner/defender but league-average hitter. Chisholm has been much the same but is a free agent after this season.

The straits of Hormuz were never closed until Donald Trump attacked Iran.
Trump and Rubio authored an assault that empowered Iran, alienated allies, decimated global trade and grown Chinese influence.
@PierreJason90@EmbracePaceUVA That 2015-16 team might have been his best.
Brogdon was 1st team AA, Gill an elite scorer close to the paint, Perrantes a strong 3rd yr PG, Wilkins and Hall defensive forces, and Shayok and Thompson gave us great backcourt depth.

@PierreJason90@EmbracePaceUVA I don't proclaiming as wizard anyone who isn't a character created by Tolkien.
I do think Tony is a HOF coach because of the way he built and sustained a perennial top-10 team in a program that had struggled for 15 years and had never had that level of sustained success.

@EmbracePaceUVA UVA scored 86 points on 46 shots, making 8-12 behind the arc and 26-30 at the charity stripe, while out/rebounding NOVA under THEIR glass 13-9.
@PierreJason90@EmbracePaceUVA That same Virginia team routed a strong Iowa State team in the Elite 8 — I was there in Chicago — and routinely won most ACC games by double digits.
We had our worst stretch of basketball in those 10 minutes against an inferior team. The perils of March Madness.
