Read this post today and it sounded familiar - "hottest on record/fossil energy greed" yada yada yada.
Did some digging and like clockwork - the good Senator puts up nearly identical posts every summer when it gets hot - dating back to 2016.
Here a sample of the last ten years - skipping several for brevity.
2016
August 16, 2016: "July was the hottest month ever recorded. When do Republicans stop putting fossil fuel profits over people's health?"
2019
( a particularly active summer for the Senator)
July 5, 2019: "It was 115 degrees Fahrenheit in France last week – the highest temperature they have ever recorded. Still think climate change is a hoax, @realDonaldTrump ? You are delusional."
July 19, 2019:
"The past 5 years are the hottest on record This June is the hottest June recorded Thousands die in heatwaves around the world. Trump's ignorance is threatening the lives of our children. For their sake, we must stand up to the fossil fuel industry and build a green economy."
August 6, 2019:
"July 2019 was the hottest month in recorded history. Make no mistake: this is an emergency. We cannot afford to simply wait Trump out. Congress must act boldly to tackle the climate threat—the fate of our children and grandchildren depend on it."
August 16, 2019:
"It's confirmed: July was the hottest month ever recorded. How insane is it that our Environmental Protection Agency is now run by a former coal lobbyist? We must stand up to the fossil fuel industry and say: you will no longer dictate our climate policy."
2021
June 27, 2021:
Pacific Northwest "most severe heat in ... history ... 'historic, dangerous, prolonged and unprecedented'" per National Weather Service; "Yes. We have to act BOLDLY to address climate change."
August 12, 2021
(and similar August 13th and 21st posts):
"A huge fire in Siberia ... Greece: burning. California: burning. Oregon: burning. July 2021 was the hottest month ever recorded. We must combat climate change now." /
"July was the hottest month EVER recorded on Earth. ... how can we afford NOT to [act on climate change]?" /
Global fires, Italy heat wave, July hottest, unite to combat climate change.
2024
July 28, 2024: "Each of the last 13 months has been the hottest on record. This summer alone has shattered hundreds of heat records across the United States. Billions of people have suffered worldwide. Climate change is not a hoax. The future of the planet is at stake."
August 7, 2024:
"Last month, July 21 broke the record for the hottest day ever recorded on Earth. Then, July 22 broke the record again. Don’t tell me climate change isn’t real. We’re seeing it right before our eyes."
And - just like clockwork 👇👇👇👇
The early leader for dumbest take of 2026.
The mental gymnastics you need to go through to get to this take is fascinating.
You want to believe he is just taking a side for clicks, but he says it with such conviction I think he actually believes it.
@SoloOrTroll The game will never thrive until the op gods are not game breaking in the casual modes and cc is fixed. I recognize the incentive to make the new releases op, but the last 5 have been so broken that casuals who don’t want to abuse the game don’t want to play anymore
Funny how not a single media outlet seems remotely interested in Ghana being denied what looked like a stonewall penalty.
Instead, the headlines are all about England's inability to score. Because apparently that's the real injustice here.
Unbelievable.
@jasbarden Agreed. I think the thing that I see missing is a clear “go to market” plan. Also just what the full picture looks like. Initially it was a launch pad, then it moved to social platform, now a game. I like that they build stuff but when does it all get marketed appropriately
@jasbarden They’ve been present and accountable (at least Luka) out of the gate. Built some pretty cool tek along the way, more accountability than I’ve seen in this space since I’ve been in it
@KingKosser Which is stupid. This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in sports (not sure why this is the first I’m seeing it), has nothing to do with us lol
JUST IN: Another TDS-riddled leftist was arrested at the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., after he allegedly tore the pool’s bottom liner with his hands.
