Are we all pretending it’s not a new week yet? I’m glued to weather updates today. Will Dorian turn? And 💔 for the Bahamas.

byjove The long weekend is throwing everyone off, I think. I can't believe the storm just parked itself like that. I mean, I can, because it happens, but you all know what I mean. This is terrible.

It's so devastating. My heart breaks for all of those in the Bahamas. And of course Trump made a tweet today that included Alabama in the states that need to be prepared for Dorian. 🙄 So the Alabama weather service was forced to tweet out a correction. link

Dorian moved tracks and he had to remember 4 eastern seaboard states instead of just FL. That's hard /s

I’m back from vacay. I mostly stayed away from the news but I’ve got some family in Florida so have been keeping an eye on Dorian. Also saw the most recent shooting. 😔

I hope they are all able to reamin safe, even as the storm continues. Agreed. And I think many people forget that being able to evacuate, especially when living on an island, is a huge privilege. (the below is hidden for potentially upsetting content) I'm so haunted by the video of the woman in the house in the Bahamas with part (all?) of the roof blown away, asking for prayers and saying how she's holding on to her four month old. I just can't imagine and I'm really hoping they're okay.

And meanwhile, 630 miles north and 120 miles inland in North Carolina, my Nextdoor is blowing up because HURRICANNNNEEEEE and people are losing their everloving minds. It’s barely going to touch us. Maaaaaybe think more about the poor people who’s island this just devastated?

I really like Jon Karl as a reporter but he's a Terrible anchor.
I know this doesn't matter to anything at all.

If anyone is looking for a game, H and I just bought the RBG game “I Dissent”. Part of the proceeds go to the ACLU. buffalogames.com/i-dissent/It’s amazing, and H and I have already had some drawn out fights lol

Whoa a Tory politician, Philip Lee, defected to the Lib Dems in Britain. He has been a Tory for 27 years. He did it while Boris Johnson was speaking and now this means that BOris Johnson does not have a majority government!

I *think* he gets a chance to create a coalition majority with another party, but if he can't cobble something together, then new elections. I could be wrong, though.

I hope this gives the UK a way out of no deal brexit though.

I don't see how Johnson avoids a no confidence vote at this point. It's a simple majority vote.
