For the 2nd day in a row, Los Angeles and San Diego set a record for highest coastal water levels in over a century of records. The all-time top-10 records for L.A. and San Diego are now dominated by 2026 (yellow highlights). Many more records to come this year.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have.
We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”
“Remember to also direct rage at those fat cat climate scientists. They rake in the dough and bang supermodels.”

"oil companies, whose rapacious greed and bottomlessly funded anti-science propaganda are jamming the environmental collapse pedal to the floor, release glossy ads filled featuring adorable ducklings, assuring us that they love us and just want us to stay all warm and snuggly."

It costs $32 to buy the ingredients for a turkey sandwich
Katie Zacharia on failing the bar exam: "We just said, 'I'll take the bar and see what happens.' The results are somewhat inconsequential because I knew I wouldn't need the bar in China."
(She spent years lying that she's an attorney!)
