Reg

Heavy rain right now. 0.57" since midnight.

Rain really picked up over the past three hours. Went from 0.02" to 0.45".

0.02" just after midnight here.

None of the above but I was out and about today. Gloriously cool, cloudy weather.

Maybe this will cheer you up

Very dense fog here inland right now.

Pacific forces of evil. I like that

Reached 91F here today just after noon, but then the temperature came crashing down for the rest of the afternoon for some odd reason. Right now it's 80F, cooler than it was at this time yesterday.

85F here yesterday.

Even though you and I are generally on opposite sides of the political spectrum here in the US, your interest in politics is interesting to me largely because of your strict obsession with gender and CRT-related matters when I have tried to tell you that this is what the American hegemonic state wants you to be fixated on. Doesn't necessarily indicate any sort of OCD on your part but I'm also no psychiatrist. Also there is a great amount of patience and lack of hostility in your posts, which is rare given the subject matter you often bring up.

I find this very interesting - most Americans, of all political backgrounds and affiliations, find this country's economic future to be very bleak no matter what the situation - the main differences being who to blame for the current situation...

Marine Layer would love it here inland. All the sunshine he could ask for, no fog for weeks/months.

It was 75F here that day, low was 53F

Haven't had a cool day here inland since April 19.

I had to drive down to San Diego during the late afternoon. Skies went from completely clear in Temecula to completely cloudy and breezy from Escondido southwards. I'm back home now. I got to see the weather that Marine Layer hates so much for a few hours.

Low-hanging fog here inland tonight.

81F today compared to 90F yesterday.

Kiev is representative of the Russian pronunciation of the name, although I don't do it on purpose - simply a force of habit over the past year. I still call Kharkiv by its Ukrainian name instead of the Russian-preferred "Kharkov", Kherson instead of "Herson" and a number of other Ukrainian city names like it.

It's normal for heads of state to have information input and output both carefully regulated by state agencies (usually the state intelligence/security services), even Biden experiences this now - as for Putin, he as at least one confidant whom is willing to break ugly truths to him, and that man is Yevgeny Prigozhin (founder and head of the Russian private military contractor Wagner Group), who also apparently broke the news to Putin last year about the "mistakes of the Russian command" when assaulting (and ultimately failing) Kiev and other northern Ukrainian fronts.

"Sick" in a different way perhaps, but not in the way you are being told by tabloid press. It doesn't stop being propaganda just because you want it to be true (this applies to Westerners in general). I remember going through this very same routine with Syria's Bashar al-Assad a decade ago.

I can't tell if you're posting this sarcastically or not, but this is propaganda. Very bad, tabloidesque propaganda too, even by Western standards.

90F here right now. First time it has hit 90F at my weather station since October 20th, 2022. Bring back winter.

Yes. Iran might execute them, but I’d argue that’s more merciful.

I would not leave my state at all costs - Syrian rebels did not just leave Syria during their uprising. Yemeni Houthis did not just leave when conflict arrived in Sanaa. California is my home, I have nowhere else to go, and I will defend it at all costs. Thing is, my enemy is not foreign, but domestic (except for Israel).

I never said this leak was the end of the US empire, but this leak is certainly is a large step in that direction. Maybe for once in my life that is true here, but it ends there - Don Jr and MTG are ideologically opposed to me in almost every single other possible way, so I am not worried about being temporarily allied with the occasional right-winger in this case. ? I believe full-well in what I said. I am not sure what you think I am knowingly lying about...? Russia is the aggressor on the ground, this is true, and their annexations of Ukrainian territory are illegal under international law - but I still believe the US could have easily prevented this war and deliberately chose not to do so, therefore I hold them responsible, especially given their history. Also the US has essentially set the standard for how well "international law" is respected.
