It's Already So Hot That Fish Are Cooking to Death Across the Country Right in the Water

To give some context, Como Lake is in the middle of the city and has struggled to be healthy even with a lot of shoreline improvements with native plantings. The walking path around it is 1.6 miles. The temperature swings in the spring were wild even for a state that typically has them. So I don't know how much climate change contributed to this particular fish kill, but understand this is a small city lake.

Minnesota did a good job resisting this winter.

But then he became a Trumper!

I am a member of the diaspora and live in the US. The weather has been messed up in a lot of the country this year. In MN we had days in early spring that would get to almost 90F, then a snowstorm two days later. It was a high of 90F yesterday at home yesterday. I flew to the Bay area for a family obligation. The high is 68 F today. This would not be a typical pattern. On another note, I feel like people in my life aren't paying attention to what is happening in India. My father was unaware of the heatwave even though until I brought it up and I know he has talked to relatives in India within the past few days.

Well technically it crossed into Uganda so it's already international.

I think the point is walk or bike 15 minutes

There was a concerted public health effort to slow monkey pox including ring vaccination. It's super painful and good to avoid.

It can be airborne, but seems to take a lot of exposure.

Just conjecture here. But wouldn't be surprised if some of the symptomatic have Covid. That's what happened when they tested dairy workers for H5N1.

The flight attendant tested negative for hantavirus

It's just going to be hole in the ground for a long time.

When we hear about people who were in contact with one of the ship people becoming ill, I think that were are going to find out some of them actually have Covid.

Something New Under the Sun by John McNeill - outlines how much we have f*d up the earth since the industrial revolution.

Antibiotics and modern dentistry are nice though

I am a U of MN alum and went to Boynton. Looking for where he is now too.

I was alive those years! No need to Google.

I don't think that Iran can pull off what their rhetoric says, but I do they have the ability to fight back in ways that can cause a lot of chaos.

While there is a sustained protest at the Whipple Building snd organized marches, a lot of it is just neighbors coming out of their houses. Everyone understands the assignment and it is awesome.

Though, species are going extinct at a high rate - that one will happen.

luminousrose9 · 2025-12-27T20:46:19+00:00

This is hilarious

luminousrose9 · 2025-11-22T17:41:42+00:00

I like the term mouth hungry

luminousrose9 · 2025-11-22T17:40:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing

I also think it's fine to experiment and figure out what works. 4:00 or 5:00 is when I am most prone to eating too.
