Arctic sea ice extent anomalies for each year from 1979 to 2025 (satellite-era; NSIDC, DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS and JAXA AMSR2). Anomalies are calculated using a 5-day running mean from a climatological baseline of 1981-2010. 2012 is highlighted with a yellow line. 2025 is shown using a red line (updated 12/5/2025).
There has never been this little sea ice in the Arctic during December.
We are in a climate emergency.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

the reason these trucks look “silly” is that they have large windshields and a low hood, which increases visibility and reduces risk to pedestrians.
trucks like this should look normal and F-150s should be the silly ones
i'm really amazed at the complete dearth of public bathrooms these days. sorry if i'm under a rock but is that correlated with some safety/guise of anti homelessness/anti blight type of policies over the last 20 years or smth? i thought fs there were a lot more when i was a kid..
