Striking before-and-after images show extent of California’s snow drought
As California experiences its second-worst snow drought in 50 years,
new images show a stark comparison with last year’s snow levels.
This year, the Sierra snowpack peaked on Feb. 25.
It was only 73% of average, then rapidly dwindled from there.
Then, summerlike heat in March broke monthly records in many areas of the Western United States.

"Under the banner of democracy, freedom and human rights, the United States has thereby extended its domination over large swathes of the world, presenting itself as a benevolent benefactor rather than a domineering despot. It has, in this way, perfected the use of empire denial as the best cover for the construction of its imperium."
Gabriel Rockill
True, but the current regime is taking the huge risk of ending that pretence. Let's hope that heralds its fall.

For now, I don't mean to be offensive.
In one way or the other, all my interests are being impacted by "Hi, I'm interested in (the thing) so I have vibecoded this app, can you please pay me a monthly subscription".
So I'm forced to wonder: dear vibe coder, why exactly should I pay to use your app, rather than just vibecode one myself (beside the fact that I don't want to participate in destroying the planet)?

The beautiful white village of Grazalema (Andalusia, Spain) had already been evacuated because of terrible amounts of rain. January had 1295 mm, an all-time high monthly total. But after today's 78 mm (and counting), February now already stands at 1373 mm, that's more than double in any February before!

Bar graph showing this year's precipitation versus average for the month:
Jan 1295.5 mm vs 276.2
Feb (so far) 1373.7 mm vs 215.7 (whole month)

The administration has reduced legal entries far more than illegal ones. 
Although the full data won’t be in for months, mwe can assess that the cuts to illegal entries are likely less than half of the total cuts to immigration on a monthly basis. 
Put differently, the cut to legal entries was 2.5 times as large.

In combination with a dynamic energy contract

back the Master battery. You pay €20.83 per
month for the battery, and save €250 per year
for 5 years. Isn't that so? Then we pay the

March was the first month above 430 ppm atmospheric CO₂ of this year, and only the second in about 15 million years!
The first one was May 2025; many more to follow, unfortunately.
Based on daily values at Mauna Loa, the average was ~430.2 ppm, that's 2.0 ppm higher than last year.

Graph of 13 months of daily, weekly and monthly averages, showing the seasonal swing with an underlying increase.

Thanks to a $20/month pledge by our newest donor, @…, we’re just $225/month in pledges away from getting Aseel and her family out of a tent and into an apartment.
