The flipside released and the local weather system said "fuck that."

[thunderandsage]

so apparently the godawful weather today is in part because of hurricane kirk, which as a star trek fan is surreal and as a person who has to walk outside through the city is just alarming

One model for Kirk predicts the hurricane will land somewhere near my location but I am hoping he stays far off to sea.... Whyyyyy name the storm after the Captain of Captains???? 🌀

Kirk becomes a hurricane.

Next up: "Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs organization in association with an area of low pressure located a few hundred miles SSW of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions appear conducive for further development of this system, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the next day or two while it moves slowly westward over the eastern tropical Atlantic."

The next morning was considerably less windy in the wild west Highlands of Scotland than it had been the day before, and Algy was hoping that very soon it would be also be a great deal calmer for his American friends in hurricane-stricken Florida too.

As he gazed into a quiet pool at the side of the trickling burn, observing the ripples swirl gently over the peat-stained pebbles while he watched for signs of life beneath the water, Algy reflected on the extraordinary power of the wind and the waves, which so far exceeded that of any mere human or fluffy bird that the only thing such creatures could do when threatened by the fury of a storm was seek a safe place in which to shelter and hide until the tempest was past.

The news that had drifted across the ocean from Florida reminded Algy of the ferocious storms he had witnessed himself, which although not equal to the strength of a hurricane had nevertheless whipped the waves into an infuriated frenzy capable of destroying unprotected coastlines, hurled weak structures into the air or blown them apart entirely, and torn down millions of trees, wreaking havoc for humans across the country for many days. Such storms brought to mind another poem by Emily Dickinson, and Algy sincerely hoped that before long the wind that was battering his friends across the sea would indeed retire "unto his Chambers" and the tempest would be past:

The Wind took up the Northern Things And piled them in the south – Then gave the East unto the West And opening his mouth The four Divisions of the Earth Did make as to devour While everything to corners slunk Behind the awful power – The Wind - unto his Chambers went And nature ventured out – Her subjects scattered into place Her systems ranged about Again the smoke from Dwellings rose The Day abroad was heard – How intimate, a Tempest past The Transport of the Bird –

p.s. Soon after posting this Algy received news and photos of Storm Kirk in France. He hopes his French friends are safe and have not suffered too much damage.

[Algy is quoting the poem The Wind took up the Northern Things by the 19th century American poet Emily Dickinson.]

Star trek + Hilda Hurricane ( crossover)

I had this drawing saved and finished for a while now. So I thought, why not post it?

Hilda Hurricane (or Hilda Furacão in original name) is a mini series that tells the story of a whore who falls in love with a priest.

So I thought, why not make a fanart where Spock is the priest (Malthus) and Kirk is Hilda?

Eric Hananoki at MMFA:

Numerous Trump-aligned media figures have accused the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its officials of committing treason over its handling of Hurricane Helene. Those right-wing figures have said that “whoever is running FEMA is guilty of treason your time is coming when Trump wins”; that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “should be in prison for the treason he has perpetrated against this country”; and that someone should “hang” government officials ��by the necks till they're dead and let their dead bodies rot while people see what is done to treasonous government. ... I believe it's way past time for an armed revolution.”  This kind of rhetoric is part of a larger theme: Former President Donald Trump and his media allies have repeatedly promised retribution against government officials and the media if he wins a second term in office. 

Media Matters has been documenting the spread of conspiracy theories in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Pro-Trump allies, including those who are scheduled to appear at Trump-affiliated events in North Carolina, have been pushing the conspiracy theory that weather manipulation caused the recent hurricanes.  Vitriol against FEMA has already resulted in real-world consequences. A North Carolina man was arrested for allegedly making an anti-FEMA threats, and The Washington Post reported that “threats against federal emergency response personnel have hampered relief work in parts of western North Carolina hard hit by Hurricane Helene, prompting disaster workers to relocate because of safety concerns and feeding a cycle of fear and anxiety.” Numerous right-wing media figures, including those linked to Trump, have claimed that FEMA and its officials are guilty of “treason,” with some suggesting that they should be killed. 

MAGA media commentators and outlets such as Glenn Beck, Charlie Kirk, Stew Peters, and The Hodgetwins push the baseless, paranoid, and dangerous lie that FEMA committed “treason” over its handling of Hurricane Helene.
