Wielder of the arcane sword of SQL. Slayer of data demons. Sometimes.
I've been watching Monday for a couple of days now. SPC has been close to or enclosing SW Ontario in the slight risk (15%) for the past 3 days. That's wind / hail / tornado. Lightning has never been a severe thunderstorm criteria either by ECCC or NWS. Probably should be.
Area warnings are a relic of the past. NWS has been using storm based warnings since 2007. Respect the polygon.
Tropical Storm Bertha may cause a lot of infrastructure damage. Traditionally several hundred line crews from utilities across Canada come to the rescue to restore power. That relationship is in tatters, help in doubt. FEMA is gutted. You may be on your own this time around.
Trump isn't talking about the "next inauguration". He's talking about his coronation. THIS is Trump's dream, his own Hall of Mirrors. His proclamation as Emperor, his crowning, his throne room.
No, they're likely "real people", just from an overly amplified minority. The Trump era of "yell hate" mingled with social media anonymity has given rise to these hate-mongers spreading their sick-brained anti-social vitriol. Unrestricted bithright citizenship is not uniquely American.
Intersting perspective. Etymology is revealing, and exposes that "man" primary source is of the species not the gender (OE "mann" meaning person, "wer" and "wīf" were male and female), the use as gender specific is a later development.
Found it!!! The first image is in Iran, the second is a stock photo if a C-130 with refuelling drogues deployed.
Non-stealth fighters are insanely "bright" in infrared. Jets burn fuel. Stealth fighters also have plumes but use techniques to lower those temperatures. Passive: looking around a dark room. Active: looking around a dark room using a flashlight.
The KC-135 loss was due to an "incident" with another KC-135. A brief look at KC-135 crashes during in air refuelling (IAR) ops involved larger aircraft (B-52, KC-135, etc), fixed boom type. Two big planes in close proximity is nuts. Gripen (and CF-18) use drogue.
Matt Groening never called himself a prophet. He just ran with the most absurd thing he could think of. 😆 Life imitates art.
About "putting it to the voters": If everyone remembers their grade-school civics course, you vote for your MP, not the party they belong to. look at thr ballot sample. Note the name is ephasized. Not the party / political affiliation
According to the Iranian FM, Americans already hit the desalinization plant on Qeshm Island. Some analysts have postulated that this is potentially one place where the US could place ground forces, due to it's location in the Strait of Hormuz.
If the idiots identified it as a IRGC base (faulty intel), it's a large building standing out. According to Wikipedia article (in alt text) it was struck THREE times. A missile doesn't "tap". (Image from google maps.)
Canadians agree. Story text in ALT. Source... angusreid.org/liberals-asc...
Remember Steven Miller's 100 million Americans... They all have to be of a certain pasty whiter shade of pale. source: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The black hose and water looks like a hydro jet system used to clear drains. Just search youtube for "drain cleaning". I won't share those because it is a bit gross and not suitable for those who are squeamish. Here's a cleaner pic.

This is AI synthesized concept, a.k.a. "slop." The channel descriptor card shows:
The "ray shadow" effect here is caused by the few high rises in Buffalo. The black pixels are specific "blocked" areas, or they show as bright spots.
Yes, but windmills exist over a larger area than a comparable urban area with high buildings. There's a blindspot behind it. This is current radar shot from Exeter.
Echoes of an early Tokyo Ghoul villain, Kureo Mado. Trump's less intelligent than the art work.
Better headline... White House unable to get its lies straight.
I see "Let them eat cake" and raise you Donald-Marie Antoinette. Slicey slicey 🤪
I can give some good news at least. Stooges Bar and Grill is outside of the fire zone (circled green).
You too can buy a MAGA bot farm. Smarter and more compliant than the real thing. Prices start at $400 (plus tariffs).
Maga hats will be seen with the same revulsion as the Nazi swastika. It's no mistake when red was chosen.
