This is terrifying.

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/

Fragility increases rapidly as you squeeze out the last bit of efficiency.

Your moral principles and your economic interests won't always be aligned. What you do when they're not is a test of character.

Since the end of October, the global daily average surface temperatures are the highest in the #ERA5 dataset for this time of year, as highlighted by many users of our Climate Pulse app, by a relatively small margin. See the data for yourself: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu

No matter who wins U.S. presidential elections on Tuesday, you'd be wise to not bet against California. It'll likely continue to lead the U.S and world forward. From this terrific piece by @JamesFallows for @WIRED wired.com/story/californ…

Fifty years ago, Muhammad Ali and George Foreman’s Rumble in the Jungle redefined boxing, becoming a powerful symbol of resilience and defiance.

If you haven't decided yet who to vote for, here's why I think you should vote for Harris.

Trump volunteered to pay for the funeral of a murdered U.S. soldier. When the bill came, Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

At this point in October 2020, I wrote a piece for the glorious @BulwarkOnline, imploring my new Dem friends to finish the campaign with confidence and swagger. I wrote that if I ran the Dem party, my message would be: We are going to crush Donald Trump and the sickness he represents. There are more of us than there are of them. We are right. They are wrong. This is our moment. This is our destiny. Walk with confidence. Do not falter. Victory will be ours. I once again make the plea. Arrogance is walking on the field, bragging you will win without having done the work. The Harris-Walz campaign and thousands of volunteers are doing the hard work. You've earned it. No team wins the Superbowl thinking, "We might have a shot." This is yours. Walk out and take it. You will look back at this moment with quiet pride and satisfaction for the rest of your life, knowing that when America called, you answered. thebulwark.com/p/victory-is-n…

Those of you who are meteorologists or adjacent, but do NOT work a traditional job like broadcast TV or NWS, please comment down below. Yes, even if it has nothing to do with weather. I suspect there are a lot more opportunities in this field than most people realize #wxtwitter

Bob Woodward is one of America's greatest journalists whose career was born in the bile of nefarious dealings by the White House. He's as skeptical as a journalist can be because he knows that what the White House hides is monstrous. Only Joe Biden could make him report THIS:

Analysts noticed that CCTV cameras in Taiwan and South Korea were digitally talking to crucial parts of the Indian power grid – for no apparent reason. On closer investigation, the strange conversation was the deliberately indirect route by which Chinese spies were interacting with malware they had previously buried deep inside the Indian power grid engelsbergideas.com/essays/private…

Am I allowed to use this as a slide for a lecture to U.S. Navy folk, please advise

When I tell this story, all Americans 🇺🇸 and most British 🇬🇧 don’t believe me. Italy 🇮🇹 cannot have startups by design. This is due many items, starting with the untranslable “studio di settore”. The 🇮🇹 tax authorities assume that given x company assets you MUST make a profit 1/5

BREAKING: German authorities have arrested an alleged spy for a Chinese intelligence agency. Yaqi X. is accused of forwarding flight information from Leipzig Airport, specifically on arms transports, to Jian G., a former far-right AfD staffer accused of spying for China.

I wrote an op-ed for the New York Times about why I was relieved China stopped it's intercountry adoption program. #Adoption
