occasionally I think about the US officers I served within the 90s and what they would have done to someone who said stuff like this. Man the fucken overton window really shifted, hey?
On today's Tucker Carlson show, he makes clear that he believes that the US fought on the wrong side in World War II. In particular he says that the UK was mistaken to declare war on Germany just because it invaded Poland. And he has lots of sympathy for Herr Hitler throughout.

I'm in an album club, like a book club but for records. I got to pick the topic this month: music you got into after you read a review. And one of the most musically experienced members said he always kept his eye out for music that got widely divergent reviews—love and hate—they're usually the best

You don't have to take their "we have to stop offshore wind to save whales" claims seriously.

Lizza doling this story out in a series of paywalled posts to drum up subscribers to his newsletter is just so utterly brazen, so spectacularly shameless, so quintessentially 2025 ... it's breathtaking. You gotta tip your hat.

Another thing: if we've only managed to cut real emissions by 4% since 2005, how do you think we're getting the rest of the way to 62-70% by 2035 with the same weak policies?
The land-use accounting tricks that got us to -28% aren't yielding any more.

Just to cut through the backslapping: the very small emissions reduction (2%) is nowhere near enough even for our own local targets. These are also the easiest cuts (ie from local pwr generation bc we are buying solar panels) and are only in one sector.
Exported emissions are 4x bigger and growing.
