Literally one of the worst companies I've ever encountered: @PrimePay

All I need is my tax document from a company that fired me. I contact HR from previous job to change my email to my personal email so I can log in. But PrimePay's website is broken. (1/?)
I login with my old email address and saved password, nothing happens. (It redirects me back to the login page.) I login with my new email address and save password, nothing happens. I see they have a "new portal" so I try logging in to that, pass the captcha, nothing happens.
I click the "forgot your password" button, I get an email to verify my address (progress!!) click the link in the email, redirected back to the same login page, nothing happens. No way to change my password. (3/?)
I've emailed PrimePay support three times about this in the past three weeks. No response. (Ticket #: 02682839 if you're listening, @primepay!)

So now I'm hoping the HR person of a company that fired me comes through.

A hex on everybody who makes their employees use @primepay.
I've never tweeted a complaint about a brand before. That's how mad I am. (4/4)

JUST IN: NASA confirms that 2020 was the hottest year in recorded history – very slightly higher, though statistically indistinguishable from 2016.
Several important things to note here.

The most important: The continuing long-term trend of catastrophic warming is what scientists are most concerned about. Not whether this year is a fraction of a degree above or below another year.

That trend is due to human activity. A line graph of years from ...
If you break down the data by land vs ocean, you'll see another very important trend: Temperatures on land (where we all live) are warming faster than ocean temperatures.

Also, the data is much more clear: 2020 was the hottest year ever measured on our planet's continents. line graph showing two dive...

Hi friends, some personal news:

Today I’m launching a new Substack called *The Phoenix*, because the world is on fire and we’ve got to build a new one from the ashes.

This is a publication for climate revolutionaries.

I'm so ready. Subscribe here:
thephoenix.substack.com/p/welcome-to-t… Circular painted logo of a red orange and yellow phoenix bir
For years, I've repeated these words: We are in a climate emergency.

Now, I’m ready to take the next step.

Real change comes by demanding justice and a world that works for everyone.

Because we need to see what we’re fighting for, not just what we’re fighting against.
My main goal with The Phoenix is to change the narrative of the climate movement.

We've got to shift climate storytelling away from inevitable apocalypse towards the possibility of a better world; towards catastrophic success not catastrophic failure.

I can't do this alone.

wow.

In a nutshell, Hurricane Delta is well on its way to becoming one of the fastest-intensifying hurricanes in history if these numbers hold.

Delta has already strengthened from tropical depression to hurricane in 18 hours. This would take it to Cat 3 or 4 by tomorrow.
Delta has just strengthened by 40kt in 24 hours, something that only about 1/40 hurricanes do. The forecast is for it to do nearly the same thing again over the next 24 hours. That's unreal.
Earlier *this year*, Hurricane Laura became the fastest-intensifying Gulf of Mexico hurricane in history, strengthening by 55kt in 24 hours. Delta could strengthen 70kt in about 36 hours on this pace.

NOAA hurricane hunters just took off from Tampa, FL en route for Tropical Storm Delta.

It'll be our first direct look at the storm's intensity and structure, and should help improve the model forecasts this evening for a storm that now looks almost certain to hit the Gulf Coast.
Looks like Delta is continuing to quickly strengthen. These data support the NHC's current intensity of 60mph winds, or perhaps a hair more. At this rate, Delta could be a hurricane later tonight.

First NOAA Hurricane Hunter dropsonde in the center of TS Delta finds a central pressure of 984mb. This is a rapidly strengthening system.

The ice shelves of the Pine Island glacier and Thwaites glacier have begun to fracture, according to a new study published today.

These are, quite simply, the most important chunks of ice in the world, and they will likely determine (in part) the fate of our civilization.
Back in 2017, I described this scenario as the beginning stages of an "ice apocalypse":

As always, @chriscmooney has a masterful description of exactly what today's study means.

In short, the natural brakes on the glaciers are shearing off. Their flow towards the sea is accelerating.
