Across the Pacific Ocean, there’s a massive marine heat wave covering an area more than eight times the size of the contiguous U.S. — and it could have profound ripple effects for weather events around the globe in the coming weeks and months. wapo.st/4p7yfWu

@heleneoftroys @YawVelaryon Shocked tbh. This whole series was such a focal point for YA at the end of the 2010s (tail end of Trump 1st term and height of BLM and police abolishment discourse). The 21st Century Fox to Lucasfilm to Paramount of it all is even crazier this whole production is like cursed.

ok ?

So America turns 250. That's cute. My local pub is 364 years old.

Author Tomi Adeyemi will not support Paramount's upcoming adaptation of her novel 'Children of the Bone' • She co-wrote the script • Posted a screenshot indicating she blocked Amandla Stenberg “There is a reason i will not post anything about the adaptation of my work… i have not seen the film, and i will not watch it. its been painful holding this back from you all" "I do not mind anyone going to watch the film ... i’m just laying down my sword and officially separating my name because i can’t keep being hurt and attacked behind the scenes"

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then. What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city’s waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time. Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it. Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

Ossoff: Just think, 250 years on, what the founders would see if they visited us today. But wait, they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights. They would see that our science and discovery propelled human knowledge to unimaginable heights and that those thirteen colonies had grown into a superpower that defeated the Nazis and Communism. They'd see a pluralist democracy, people of all colors descended from every point on Earth, stitched together out of many nations into one.

Extreme heat is dangerous, but heat illness is preventable.

Every employer should do everything in their power to protect their workers from extreme heat. New York City also requires employers to provide Protected Time Off for heat-related illness and prohibits retaliation against workers for requesting it.

Employers should provide access to water and shade, build in more time for breaks on the hottest days, and move strenuous work to cooler hours whenever possible. 

These simple steps can help ensure every worker makes it home safely.

More than one third of U.S. adults believe violence is needed to get the country back on track, according to a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. Thirty-seven percent of adults believe that Americans may have to resort to violence to get the country back on track. That includes 12% who say they strongly agree with that statement. When Marist asked this question in October, 30% believed that violence may be necessary to course-correct the country. Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said the finding reflects the view that "the normal functioning of our government is not moving things quickly, or even in a way that's beneficial to innovation." This is a view held by some on the left and some on the right, he added. Thirty-three percent of Democrats, 40% of Republicans and 35% of independents say Americans may have to use violence to get the country back on track, the poll found. Beverly Gage, a Yale University historian, said there's historical precedent for that fervor for violence. It's been there from the nation's beginning. What makes the current moment distinct, Gage said, is the "seeming popularity or resignation to the idea that violence might become necessary."

Vladimir Solovyov's downslide shows how the tide is turning in Russia. Once Vladimir Putin’s favorite propagandist, state TV host is falling out of favor with the Kremlin and losing all credibility with the Russian public. My latest for @thedailybeast: thedailybeast.com/putin-is-in-so…

Today marks 1,000 days since the start of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. To this day, Palestinians continue to be massacred by this apartheid regime with the full backing of our government. We need a full arms embargo now and to bring perpetrators to justice. Free Palestine. x.com/AJEnglish/stat…

In the 1,000 days since October 7, 2023, Israel's genocide has left Gaza in ruins, the Board of Peace falters, and Israel expands control of the besieged enclave, while continuing to violate the "ceasefire" in almost daily attacks. Here's what we know⤵️aje.news/9tugjj

Caulk is visibly oozing from the columns of the false "Arc de Trump" on display at the Great American State Fair

🚨 Republican candidate Solomon Peña hired a hitman to slaughter Democratic officials after losing his campaign. He has been sentenced to 80 years in prison.

Neither Aliagas nor app cofounder Derek Chadwick responded to my requests for comment. But this is apparently becoming increasingly common, even though, if Goose is behind it, it's a clear FTC violation: “If you are creating fake accounts that look like they are users of a product to drive attention or sales to that product, that activity is very obviously unlawful," says @RobertFreundLaw.

I was able to identify more than two dozen accounts that fit this pattern, all of which followed cofounder David Aliagas. Turns out David Aliagas posted a job listing for "ambassadors" for his new app back in May, looking to hire people "familiar with gay culture" to manage 3 Instagram accounts (also, he put out a call to buy finstas for $100)

Just a taste of what the Quincy Institute is for those unfamiliar!

They killed civilians in Bucha, and now they expect to enjoy holidays in Europe. The EU wants to stop that. 🧵 1/7 ⬇️
