It's so evil that some politicians are trying to push forward with a mask ban in New York. NYC was one of the places hardest hit at the start of the pandemic, and COVID is still causing harm. A mask ban puts the health of all New Yorkers at greater risk.

Speed will be of the essence as salvage crews attempt to stop fuel leaking from the sunken New Zealand naval ship off the coast of Samoa.The HMNZS Manawanui ran aground last weekend on a reef about one nautical mile off the south coast of Upolu, Samoa’s most populated island. The specialist dive and hydrographic vessel was on its third deployment, conducting a reef survey, when it caught fire and sank.
The ship has come to rest at a depth of up to 150 metres, which means it may be relatively undisturbed even during storms. Any hull cracks from the impact should not be exacerbated.
But depth makes the salvage operation challenging. Crew may need decompression chambers, and there’s only a narrow window of time to seal any fuel leaks – and, ideally, pipe out more than 900 tonnes of marine diesel the ship carries.
I'm not sure my blog _really_ qualifies as providing "news articles", but I enjoyed making the little tweak to take advantage of Mastodon 4.3s "author highlight for news articles".
If you see the card for the link below on the 4.3 web interface it should link back to my Mastodon account, which is a nice little discoverability feature! 🙂

I guess I can join #PortfolioDay today. I do amateur astrophotography. I spend most of my time on deep space targets, but I had the opportunity to go see and photograph the total solar eclipse this past April.
Here are a few of my favorite photos I've taken of the amazing stuff that's out there.

What We Know About Why Hurricanes Have Names
Some credit 19th-century Australian meteorologist Clement L. Wragge for initiating the hurricane-naming process.
“We have babies and newborns that are in the ICU. Even if we can evacuate a few patients, we cannot leave the hospital because there is no other hospital that is providing services and treatment to children, except Kamal Adwan Hospital.”
Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of #KamalAdwan Hospital in Gaza

in reply to AI6YR Ben • • •Saw a youtuber tour through his destroyed Florida neighbourhood just last week. Most houses totalled. He said most houses got totalled last year in a hurricane, got remodeled, got put on the market. No one has bought them, now the remaining people there has just finished clearing out all their belongings, big piles along the sidewalks, and they'll get hit again thursday. The youtuber said if you wanted to sell now you'd get basically lot value. Personally, I think the lot value is zero. I'm sure there are some ghouls trying to profit off of this but I can't imagine they'd be very successful at it. Ok you buy someones condemned home for pennies. Now what? Gonna flip it? Bask in that glorious land value of a lot permanently submerged in a decade? I fail to see the business model here, I guess that won't stop people from trying.

These climate disaster carpetbaggers aren't buying up these properties to build homes for regular people.
The properties are bought cheap & often converted into seaside estates for the ultra-wealthy.
They basically turn neighborhoods of working & middle class homes into Bel Air, Vale, and other "little rhodesia" white enclaves.

After a climate event, property insurers red circle the hardest hit areas & refuse to provide property insurance.

Anyone with a mortgage has to sell because property insurance is a prerequisite for their loan.

FYI, the fossil fuel industry has been on a decades-long mergers & acquisitions binge on property insurers.
It's a near monopoly market of captive insurers now.
Secondly, it's the government subsidies from hurricane relief funding that the real estate vultures are really going after.

In a few weeks, Speaker Mike Johnson will suddenly start talking about disaster relief after the first tranche of home owners are forced to abandon their homes.
Republican real estate donors like Geoffrey Palmer, Schwarzman, & Harlan Crow will rejoice. Again.

Eh, not really. Anyone can tell otherwise. There are plenty of charities that operate under capitalism. There are plenty of businesses that are capitalist and could expand but do not. Tell me; are the owners of chik-fil-a capitalist? If they're so greedy, why do they refuse to open on Sundays?
