Iran made a very big mistake!

The best example here is the Biden rules on transgender athletes, which gave schools latitude to set their own rules but with specific privacy rules and a need to justify any exclusion of a given trans person. It was sued and blocked not by trans people…

70 anni fa usciva Lilli e il Vagabondo, capolavoro Disney senza tempo
Uscito nel 1955, il classico Disney è ancora oggi un film indimenticabile, sospeso tra realismo e poesia, che continua a farci sognare tra un bacio rubato e un piatto di spaghetti.redazione (Globalist.it)
"An expansive #heatwave will spread through the central U.S. as summer officially arrives late this week and then into the East, bringing the hottest temperatures of the year and uncomfortably muggy air to the Midwest and Northeast."

Dangerous Heat Wave Ahead For Midwest, Northeast | Weather.com
High temperatures will flirt with daily record highs in dozens of locations early next week, especially in the Northeast.The Weather Channel
"Weather service offices throughout the region warned of sweltering and sometimes life-threatening conditions through Wednesday.
Highs will reach around 20 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than usual in parts of the Midwest and in the Northeast."
" “Every #heatwave that is occurring today is hotter than it would have been without human-induced #CimateChange,” she said.
Otto sounded an additional note of caution: Computer models “severely underestimate” the extreme heat trends we are seeing so far, which means projections for future #ExtremeHeat are likely also underestimates."

Great point.
In fact, more than 90% of global warming goes into the oceans (the atmosphere is a very small fraction of the heat capacity of the oceans). The oceans suffer from marine heatwaves, but also they burp up the heat in the shape of, for instance, souped-up hurricanes, extreme rain, etc.
"U.S. grid operators on Monday directed power plants to maximize their output as wholesale electricity prices skyrocketed during a dangerous heat wave afflicting the eastern half of the country."

Over 4,000 without power in New Jersey in midst of heat wave

"In Boston, the high temperature Tuesday was 102 degrees.
The high temperature in Providence on Tuesday was 100 -- besting a previous all-time June high of 98 degrees last hit in 1945.
This kind of rare, long-duration heat with little overnight recovery can be life-threatening, especially for people without adequate cooling or hydration available."

Dangerous heat wave: Several East Coast cities break June heat records
Tuesday is the hottest day of the heat wave for the Northeast.Melissa Griffin (ABC News)
It’s not just the cities. Extreme heat is a growing threat to rural America.
"Far outside of downtowns, where homes and buildings get farther and farther apart, rural regions face their own long-running challenges that exacerbate the dangers of extreme heat.
While temperatures out in the sticks may not climb to the same peaks they do in downtowns, urban heat islands are surrounded by an ocean of rural heat vulnerabilities."

"Two outdoor graduation ceremonies in Paterson, New Jersey, held during a dangerous heat wave ended with more than 100 people being treated and some being taken to the hospital, authorities said."
It's time for updated rules on housing.
Most places in temperate zones have rules about *minimum* temperatures in housing (so residents don't freeze). Now that needs to be augmented with a *maximum* temperature rule.

"The roadmap [by the UK Green Building Council] sets out a blueprint for action and warns that without the adaptation of millions of buildings, there will be increased injury, health impacts, deaths and untold economic damage.
Five key threats are examined by the roadmap: overheating, wildfires, flooding, drought and storms."

"CSI of level 5 means that a temperature is occurring at least 5 times more frequently when compared to a world without human-caused carbon pollution. This temperature would be very difficult to encounter in a world without #ClimateChange – not necessarily impossible, just highly unlikely."

tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors has the latest Republican plan (As I read him):
Declare citizens, those born in the US, to be no longer citizens, if their parents were born in other countries.
Since these Americans suddenly go from citizen to non-citizen, they can’t be following the rules.
So deport them.

The image depicts a group of firefighters battling a large wildfire. In the foreground, several firefighters are silhouetted against the bright orange and yellow flames. They are wearing dark blue uniforms with reflective yellow stripes, helmets, and breathing apparatuses. The firefighters are actively engaged in their efforts, with some holding a hose and others assisting in the operation. The background is dominated by the intense flames, which are towering and consuming the surrounding vegetation. The scene conveys a sense of urgency and the firefighters' dedication to their task. The text "ΤΟΙΑΘΗΖ POLITISCHIOS.GR" is visible in the bottom right corner, indicating the source of the image.

Unknown parent • • •@CppGuy @c0debabe I don't see how the design near the bottom is nonsense? it's a cat with bubbles, Japanese text and English text that's a bit jpeggy after a few rounds of editing and reusing. The artifacts are because there used to be sensible Chinese or Japanese ad copy that's been replaced by the "English"
I looked through the rest of the listing and the "cat" kanji getting replaced by English "cat" pretty clearly confirms imo it''s on-image machine translation
