Selling environmental policy is always hard, because the process of improving the environment is never complete. But it’s important to note the real wins here. Acid rain has been largely eliminated from North America. The ozone layer is coming back. Smog is less of a thing.
Literally just lectured about this!
In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

❗️Zelenskyy met in France with fishermen who supply Ukraine with anti-drone nets.

F that!

Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.

as someone who really thought there wasn’t much there for the longest time I cannot draw any conclusion other than “they are monumentally terrible” at this point
man, what the fuck is in these files that would a) be worse than anything we have ever learned about him, b) make him willing to risk a maga civil war over it, and c) have him desperately calling half of the republicans in the house and begging them to vote against their release

i love the notion of "mirror year" - your birthyear minus your current age.
it's mindboggling how close big moments in history are when you look at it that way.

If you're 42 years old, we're as far away from your birth as your birth is from the invention of antibiotics!
History is weird.

especially in politics...
good people have ideas, and they're good ideas, but they don't think about what that idea would mean if an evil person tried to exploit it
you have to take your good idea
