Idle Journalism Thought: Much of the "news" today, whether text or cable TV, bends toward the apocalyptic because it has proven to be the most profitable.

Sounds like your typical Trump lawyer, spouting nonsense to the point you wonder how the hell he graduated law school, much less the bar.

As I used to tell a winger nut job coffee buddy who denied global warming, Nature does not need your agreement and approval.

Sorry that happened. If there’s a silver lining, once you have experienced heat exhaustion you will be very aware next time you notice even the slightest initial symptom and take action immediately. Definitely a hard lesson to learn.

I overdid things at the track earlier this week when the heat index was already 100F at 10 a.m. Salt/electrolyte depletion, apparently. First time ever for me. Of course, I'm no spring chicken now, as my wife reminded me.
Was a bit lightheaded at the end. Then started vomiting at 4 p.m. that day, stopped at 6 a.m. the next day. Still weak and recovering. Making the necessary changes.
Let's be careful out there.

Exactly. That's the reason I avoid those video blogger types on YouTube.

A Monumental UFO Scandal is Looming
“This leaves two extraordinary possibilities — that elements within and outside of the U.S. government oversee a decades-old UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering effort – a profound, paradigm-shifting development — or multiple esteemed and credentialed current and former government officials are engaging in a brazen disinformation campaign.”

Considering the fools and fascists supporting Trump all these years, I'm going with "multiple esteemed and credentialed current and former government officials are engaging in a brazen disinformation campaign.”

Interesting and very well written.
Ultimately, though, it strikes me as NYT-quality clickbait.
