1.  Featured: Lake Mead Drought Update!!! What's Going On?!!!  

Video evidence of how fast Lake Meade is shrinking, going all the way back to 2000. Produced by people who drive pick up trucks to pull their power boats. Of course not a word about climate change, not even in the comments. In the middle they get sidetracked by rescuing a stranded truck. Maybe skip that part.

Democracy Now does a great job reporting on the beginning of the LA fires, and interviews Climate Scientist Peter Kalmus, who fled LA two years prior to the fires. The New York times published his article on the matter, but deleted the part where he said it is just going to keep getting worse. Via @tinoeberl@mastodon.online
