Just three quick tweets about Atlantic hurricane potential in August 2022.

Luckily, the season's been quiet af so far, as we near the halfway point in 3 weeks. There is a small chance of a US landfalling storm arising from the system below.

It's far too early to tell where this might go, but we'll know more each day. The NE Pacific basin is all the way up to Tropical Storm Howard, but the Atlantic has only reached TS Colin.

The next storm names are Danielle, Earl, Fiona, Gaston, Hermine, Ian, Julia, and Karl.
As always, I encourage you to prepare for extreme weather and natural and other disasters that are possible in your region. ready.gov is a brilliant resource.

And pls donate blood routinely if you can. It's always needed.

The weather system in the Eastern Atlantic that I mentioned yesterday (above) is now forecast to dissipate soon. Good news. But still, I am bored by the lack of hurricanes to watch.

The struggle is real.

Thread: This hilarious prank call needs to go viral.

I stumbled upon it while looking for recent news on Mike "My Pillow" Lindell because, frankly, he's beclowned himself in public for such a long time & I don't know why no one has stopped him yet.

Granted, when you have a lot of wealth it's often impossible for loved ones to protect you from yourself.

Between bouts of hysterical laughter while watching this video I did glean a few things from Lindell's reactions during the zoom call.
Having been dropped by multiple retailers he is so desperate to find new ones that he quibbles about potentially having to delay the meeting for a mere 24 hours. By the end though, he's happy to do it.

He was unprepared for the call (if it had been a genuine meeting.)

It surprises me that Harry wore a Dior suit because it looked to me like it's been poorly tailored for him. There are hundreds of valid critiques to be made of these two from just this NYC trip, but I find his almost disheveled appearance to be very telling.
There are plenty of public domain video clips and photos of both Harry and Meghan over the past few days.

I don't need to justify my opinions about them to anyone. If you want to defend their track record over the past 6 years, go ahead. But don't expect me to agree with you.
For the Sussexes of Montecito, everything changed on July 3, 2022 as they ascended then descended the steps of St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Royal watchers have dissected every part of their attendance at HM the Queen's jubilee service of thanksgiving that day...

Like anyone diagnosed with a severe PD, #AmberHeardDeservesJustice in the form of accessing effective medical care, asap.

The nature of her PD is that she lacks insight into her need for care.

Those who love her should enable it. She deserves that basic kindness from them.
People diagnosed with a PD like Amber's and who have her considerable access to resources, can access expert, high quality therapeutic services in a safe and private environment in the US. PD lack of insight requires short term limiting of a patient's right to informed consent.
The professional expectation and the loved ones' hope is that such patients would, over time, gain at least some insight into the diagnosis and the consequent need for secure care. Such care can reduce the damage the patient can do to their own interests, at least temporarily.

🧵I've been living and breathing (international) politics for 40+ years.

My values reflect the centrist liberal democratic environment "we" generally had until the last decade or so.

The spread of RW extremism has forced me to look further back in history, to 1939-45 and
... now I look even further back, to the American Civil War of the 1860s, and then beyond the 18th and 19th centuries in both Europe and North America.

The Age of Enlightenment used to be a purely historical subject for me. Yet some in power rn don't value it at all.
I'm talking about the RW extremists in both the US and the UK.

Clearly, RW extremists aka fascists aka white supremacists are the ones pulling the strings of "conservative" politicians in those countries, and

subject to my research time, probably in other countries, too.

Thread: What caused the death of Ivana Trump on July 14, 2022?

Some new info was just released by the local medical examiner about injuries consistent with an accidental fall down the stairs.

IMO, more investigation will be needed.
I need to be very clear: I am NOT making any claims about factors that may or may not be involved in her death. I really detest such behavior, especially this soon after the event.

Just saying, investigating the death of a high profile person requires keeping an open mind.
We don't yet know what evidence the medical examiner has. As a hypothetical example, if there is CCTV footage, that would be valuable. A fall can be caused by many things. Finding injuries consistent with a fall is just one part of the potential evidence field.

Thread🧵

I'm still thinking about Shinzo Abe and hoping he pulls through. He is to Japan what Churchill was to the UK in the final decade of his life. Or what Eisenhower was to the US.

I need to remind some about previous terrorism in Japan, eg:

britannica.com/event/Tokyo-su…
Because some people are talking as if this is the first time since WWII that pure evil has tried to kill people within Japan.

In 1994-1995 the world was horrified about the Sarin attacks. This was pre 9/11 and the rest. Arguably, nothing terrorizes like chemical weapons.
There are many serene, & peaceful aspects to Japan, a beloved neighbor of so many Indo-Pacific countries.

At the regular APEC meeting, our leaders are subjected to a kind of hazing-by-costume in the "family photo."
