I’m looking for a freelancer based in Spain or France to cover the wildfires and heat wave. If that’s you, my DMs are open and I’d love to talk through story ideas!

about half of centrists and the center-left for some reason concluded that climate change was passe hippie bullshit that doesn't matter, and we're about to learn how wrong that was, the hard way prospect.org/2026/07/28/c...

Death Valley 130°F watch? Current NWS forecast is 126°F both Saturday and Sunday
Anthony EdwardsA long and dangerous California heat wave will begin Friday, July 31 with potential for record-breaking temperatures. The first phase will focus on Central & Southern California from July 31-Aug. 3/4. Record heat is likely to expand to NorCal ~Aug. 3/4, with no clear end date in sight. #CAwx
That is some serious corn sweat.
daryl herzmannSioux City, IA SUX (great icao btw), tied its reported dew point record yesterday evening at 83°F. Today, it is running a degree or two warmer at this hour, so perhaps this record is in jeopardy this afternoon, but perhaps moisture pooling with the storm complex yesterday helped more than corn :/

Climate change is leaving language in the dust: The Japan Meteorological Agency held a public poll to select a name for a day of temperatures of 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. The winner was kokushobi, meaning “cruel heat day.” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/w...

Even utilizing the Relative Oceanic Nino Index (RONI), the NINO 3.4 region SSTa this year are only being rivaled by the 1997-98 "El Niño of the Century". Our developing "Super" El Niño has exhibited the most remarkable build-up of SSTa since the beginning of the year in the entire satellite era.

just heard a foundation declare its mission as reducing "polarization" as though there's some sweet spot halfway between white supremacy/radical inequality/climate denial and the opposite we should all aim for. There isn't. Been railing against it forever.

Several of the world's largest solar projects are getting built and planned in California's Central Valley as farmers stare down the reality of dwindling water supplies. Good story by @blancabegert.bsky.social and @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...

Guilty. “But since I trabajar remotely, I decidir to watch más games. My jefe thought I trabajar, but, en realidad, I watched Cabo Verde vs. Arabia Saudita on Telemundo. And diecisiete other games.”
McSweeney's"At first, I didn’t comprender what the announcers were saying. Except “¡Gooooooooooooool!” which is like the americano word for “goal,” but más grande. After a few días, I started to understand más y más. Los announcers on Telemundo were muy excited about fútbol! ¡It was contagioso!"
