The thermometer hit a likely record of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) in the Russian Arctic town of Verkhoyansk on Saturday, a temperature that would be a fever for a person — but this is Siberia, known for being frozen. The World Meteorological Organization said Tuesday that it’s looking to verify the temperature reading, which would be unprecedented for the region north of the Arctic Circle.

This is staggering. Truly beyond it.
Vaccines are remarkably safe, review finds
Wait, what? Remarkably safe, why are they not just "safe?" Why the qualification? (check the age etc of the writers can one will understand)
But this...
(CNN)Vaccine label changes have made vaccines even safer than they were before, and they remain "remarkably" safe, Israeli-based researchers reported Monday.
WTAF????? "Label changes have made vaccines even safer." WTAF???? WTF???? These writers need to have their access to a computer, pencil or anything at all taken away. They need to be put in a cage.
Labels alone can make thing safe. Okay then, guns are made safer by changing labels. Rabid animals are made safer by changing labels. Bombs are made safer....
I'll be all three reporters proudly wear their masks.
Staying unified on a low frequency range imprisons us in a hive mind of fear.

The Maunder Minimum was a very specific event. Saying "a Maunder Minimum has started" is pretty meaningless.
Colder? Not really.
Bring on the Ice Age.

Portland issues ‘maximum fine’ on feds for unpermitted fence outside courthouse; bill is $192,000 ‘and counting’
Portland Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said Tuesday the city is fining the federal government $500 every 15 minutes – the maximum charge allowed -- until it removes an unpermitted fence blocking a bike lane on Southwest Third Avenue.
Eudaly, who oversees the transportation bureau, said the government hasn’t responded to her demand to remove the fence, which surrounds a portion of the federal courthouse. She said the bill is now $192,000 “and counting.”
“We intend to collect,” Eudaly, who is running for reelection, said in a tweeted statement. She also described the forces at the courthouse as “federal occupiers.”
"If you won't let us burn your building down with our peaceful protests, we'll fine you." Madness.

Trump told reporters that he firmly rejected the reported spinoff deal involving Microsoft buying TikTok, NBC News reported.
Poor kiddies gonna go nuts. Trump was urged by DoD and Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Tom Cotton to take action on TikTok.
