If anyone who isn't from an area that gets tropical weather is curious, the red line on the right is the distance from #Tampa to #FortMyers, about a 2-hour drive. The red line on the left, which is identical, is #HurricaneMilton. Almost all of what you see is tropical storm-strength winds <75mph. #Hurricane winds are currently in a band about 25 miles from the eye (and the 180mph winds are in an area less than ONE MILE across). It's an astonishingly small storm (it will get bigger but weaker).


Punta Gorda surge forecast seems... bad. 9+feet of surge currently predicted. #surge #PuntaGorda #FLwx #Milton #hurricane

@the_Effekt @GhostOnTheHalfShell I still have "collapse of Thwaites Glacier", "AMOC stalls", "Siberian methane bomb", and "extreme precipitation triggered earthquakes" not marked off on my bingo card! ๐Ÿคช

I'm seeing reports of #Israel using #BunkerBombs, but did you know that #DepletedUranium is often used in those bombs?

"Often, these types of bombs use depleted #uranium in their casing, similar to certain shells, which enhances their strength. While this does not make them #nuclear weapons, it does disperse #radioactive contamination at the impact site, which can be felt in an area of several meters, at low levels."

LAist: Apartment owners can apply for the first phase of rebates, and the second phase for single-family homeowners will open in coming weeks. laist.com/news/climate-environโ€ฆ


If you know anyone who runs a low or middle income apartment building who is looking after their tenants, new rebates available for heat pump water heaters/induction ovens/stoves, etc.

"This first round applies to low- and middle-income apartment buildings with five or more units. For a building to qualify, more than half of the units need to have tenants who are at or below 150% of the area median income. "

โ€œHi, Iโ€™m Mardi, and Iโ€™m your neighbor.โ€

Incredible organizers like Mardi are using our groundbreaking GOTV tool to reach Arizona voters who are at risk of staying home: โ€œDevolites is under the helm of Indivisible, a national progressive organizing group. And she is one of thousands of canvassers across Arizona, putting sweat equity into reaching voters far outside the traditional Democratic Party.โ€ notus.org/harris-2024/kamala-hโ€ฆ





Going nuclear, fusion could reduce emissions, increase security [Advocacy Lab Content]: For its proponents, the lesser-known nuclear process โ€“ fusion - could bring a new era of clean and secure energy to Europe. For its detractors, itโ€™s an expensive distraction. dlvr.it/TF7s81?utm_source=dlvrโ€ฆ


Mastodon for Harris evening update, 10/8. We are 5 contributions away from 7 thousand individual contributions. That is going to be a pretty amazing milestone. secure.actblue.com/donate/mastโ€ฆ

Funds raised as of this post: $641,292.40
# of contributions: 6995
# of recurring contributions:307

Current target: $650,000

Not counting any chickens before they are hatched. Just raising money to make sure Harris for President has every last dollar to put toward GOTV and legal protections for ballot access.
