This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

It fucking kills me that none of these kids is going to get the mandatory mourning, the required moments of silence, the Ezra Klein eulogies, the massive federal government policy response, of the guy who said mass shootings are just the price you pay for freedom.

I wrote about how Tim Robinson's The Chair Company reflects our reality more than we like to admit. The world is lousy with Teccas -- forces that stand to profit when we "blast through a fucking chair." Maybe maladjustment to that isn't the worst thing. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/the-chair-...
'The Chair Company' is a primal scream at elite impunity

The allegations detailed in recent court filings against Meta indicate that its executives have recklessly endangered children. In many jurisdictions, that is a crime. For @newrepublic.com, I wrote about why Mark Zuckerberg should be prosecuted accordingly.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Has there ever been a man who’s failed to meet the moment more than Chuck Schumer? Relentlessly, incessantly, unstoppably wrong at every turn, Schumer is going to go down in history as the worst Dem legislative leader in modern times, and it’s not even particularly close.

So Dems dominated Tuesday, during a government shutdown, with a message of standing up and fighting this unpopular administration, and their first response is to fold to that administration’s unpopular budget demands for zero concessions? Am I getting this right?

Big Oil’s Three-Decade Plot to Kill America’s Clean Energy Revolution
In 1988, the U.S. was in prime position to dominate the industry for decades to come. But thanks to fossil fuel giants, China is instead the world’s superpower in renewables.
