Last week in the Alps the freezing temperatures stayed above freezing even at the highest peaks like Mont Blanc, 4,800m!
All Alpine #glaciers were melting

Sheets laid over the ice to protect from sun & heat felt like a veil draped over a dying patient

#ClimateChange is now !

WOW! A tornado occurred IN ALASKA Saturday.

This is near the Alpine Creek Lodge midway between Anchorage and Fairbanks. There are only six tornadoes on record in Alaska dating back to 1950.

And for the tornado to condense all the way to the ground!? Bonafide supercell.

We need to eradicate prediction markets before they eradicate us.

Two top leaders with the Nebraska Democratic Party are warning of a new political party they believe aims to put spoiler candidates in Nebraska’s big midterm races. https://t.co/D8MyqHJmkW

Sunday's temperature of 96° in Omaha tied March 21 as the hottest day of the year.

The last time it was hotter was September 13, 2025 when it was 97°.

@judybrilliant @carolinekwan Judy, don't be racist. Ignorance is bliss.

A dangerous heat wave will impact the central & eastern U.S. starting Sun and continue through the Jul 4 weekend. Highs will be in the 90s-100s with heat indices of 100–110° (locally 115°). Warm nights will offer little relief. Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and seek A/C.

Paris, the capital of France, has recorded more days above 40°C this week than during the 147-year period spanning from 1872 to 2019.

Historic is an understatement.

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

By the way, if you compared Ben-Gvir's text here to Nazism and you're at an American university as either a professor or student, you can be punished under the new IHRA hate speech codes for "anti-Semitism" that Trump imposed on US academic institutions. It bans that:

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

We expect a couple more rounds of storms around the region on Saturday. Not everyone will receive a storm, but some will. And in the afternoon and evening, they could once again become severe, with increasing severe potential the farther southeast you go.

[NWS Omaha @NWSOmaha]

Still making payments on that hatchback? I'd find a way to park it indoors!

"Very large hail" is the most likely threat with storms developing in eastern Nebraska late tonight. Flooding, wind, and tornadoes are possible, too.

Have a way to receive warnings that can wake you up!

Hasan Piker: “There’s two major lies Republicans tell all the time. Number one: Immigrants do crimes in overwhelming numbers. That’s a lie. The evidence is the exact opposite. The evidence shows migrants are responsible for a much lower share of crime per capita than documented citizens are. The second biggest lie is there are far too many people voting in this country and we have to restrict them. The problem is far too little people are voting. Voter fraud, not a problem. The real problem is voter suppression”

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.

Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f

Strong to severe storms are possible this afternoon through the early overnight hours. Damaging winds, hail, localized flash flooding, and a brief tornado are possible. Repeated storms & heavy rainfall may bring flash flood concerns. #newx #iawx
