'C' is for Climate’s Tweets

New PRA in my inbox, updated eviction filing numbers in CA. By June 2022, eviction filings were higher than they were pre-pandemic as COVID protections went away (even though COVID did not). Here is Fresno. Most of these tenants are still going through it without an attorney.
Line graph showing that eviction filings in Fresno County dipped down in April 2020, rose some but then stayed steady until the year 2022 when they rose rapidly.

Is corruption good for Fresno?

Dirty Old Town Pay to play at The Big Fresnp Fair, brazen, corrupt. These are the same crooks who erected the Jerry Dyer robocop statue during the 2020 election, the one with no public debate, just an Assemi one. kmph.com/news/local/sta
Secretive Agency Keeping Secrets For a productive conversation they'd post the results beforehand. They've been sitting on this for months. #Fresno regional transportation planning is led by a captive agency, two actually, FCTA and FCOG.

"Temperatures in September were the highest on record; up to 8°C higher than average." "There was also an extreme ‘piteraq’ towards the end of the month, with wind gusts above 180 km/h, leading to evacuations and damage to buildings." Brace for impact, friends

'C' stands for Consultants' Cash Cow FCTA consultants showed a remarkable ability to predict the hours they would be working on the sales tax renewal. Some of their line items beggar description. Campaigning on the public dime catches up with elected officials and staff. #Fresno

Florida rejects textbooks that educate kids on Holocaust.😳 This is what modern day fascism looks like. Reminder: the main reason extremists would want to ban teaching about a past atrocity is to make it easier to enable that atrocity in the future. Smh.

Watch: This isn't really about staying below 1.5C anymore. The brutal truth is that goal has gone - and still they plan more oil and gas. To see my full #Newsnight interview click the link below. #Climatecrisis #climatebreakdown #ClimateActionNow youtube.com/watch?v=tXvPbd

Looks like Erdogan demanded censor his political opposition a day ahead of the election and he immediately complied. Musk is either the world’s most sanctimonious hypocrite, coward and fraud or actually wants to censor the opposition to help Erdogan. Or both.

This unfortunately has potential to be a humanitarian disaster, given combination of geographic susceptibility to large, inland-penetrating storm surges & poverty/political instability. Burma/Myanmar has not had as much progress in cyclone preparedness as nearby Bangladesh.#Mocha

Latest IMD #CycloneMocha surge forecast is 2.5-3m, 0.5m higher than yesterday's, but is likely too low, considering the 12Z Saturday JTWC intensity estimate is 150 mph--just 10 mph below Cat 5. Even if Mocha weakens to a Cat 3 at landfall, its surge will likely be Cat 4-level.

Wow. I gotta say I’m pretty shocked by this unanimous ruling. “Every judge — including the most conservative on the court — agreed with the court's ruling & co-signed the official opinion of the court, which uses proper she/her pronouns.”

"DeSantis signed a bill to prevent credit card companies from tracking sales of firearms and ammunition. "The bill stops companies from helping track suspicious weapons purchases—an increasing concern while the US is flooded w/random and mass shootings."
