I’m not really sure what I’m doing. Over 15 years I slowly gathered a very cool and diverse list of follows and followers in that other place. I’m sad that it doesn’t exist in that way anymore.
Hi American friends.
I know a lot is going on.
But I think more domestic opposition to the Greenland obsession is warranted. I don’t think we see enough from you all. I know the whole situation is unbelievable and ridiculous. But still.
All the best from Copenhagen

I took this photo back in 2012 when I was on my way to the icecore drilling camp on Greenland.
It is from the inside of an American Hercules plane (NY Air National Guard) that flew us 300 miles to the centre of the Ice Sheet and landed there with skis.
Such a different time.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Had a funny situation yesterday with the young ones (age 12) that I play D&D with.
They had never heard about vampires not being able to cross running water and thought it was the most stupid thing they had ever heard of. We had to google for them to be convinced that I was not messing with them😄

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”
People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

Cannot adequately express to outsiders how insane it is to think the UK is characterised by "Islamoleftism". Just, absolutely, not a thing, not at all representative of our governing ideology, nor of the ideology of the left factions that exist as any serious presence within our politics.

the consequences of (1) seeing incarcerated peopel as subhuman, and (2) seeing transition as a frivolous luxury instead of as medical care, are as predictable as they are catastrophic
This is what guys like Yglesias, and everybody else making hay about Kamala supporting transition care in prisons, want to happen everywhere.
EXCLUSIVE: A forced detransition policy had disastrous effects in one Georgia prison, according to the manager of the medical unit there.
The policy is on hold due to a court order requiring prisons to re-start hormone treatments for incarcerated people in GA.
