Reading today’s big NYT Magazine story made me physically sick
It details how Trump & the men he put in charge of federal research—men like Jay Bhattacharya & RFK Jr—are dismantling cancer research
Not just the US vaccine system—they’re crushing cancer R&D

Yeah I don’t see a universe where this administration can actually cultivate a fossil boom.
I easily see one where energy investment generally dries up - causing blowback on all kinds of commercial + industrial activity. To say nothing of consumer pocketbooks.

To put it another way, it takes the approach of actively penalizing the technologies of the 21st century and subsidizing the technologies of the 19th century. As solar, batteries, and electrification are rapidly adopted by the rest of the world, we are stepping backwards.

The latest version of the Senate's BBB is a death sentence for US energy leadership and a giant gift to China.
It eliminates tax cuts for solar that have been around since 2005, adds a new tax on solar after 2027, and creates a new direct subsidy for coal.

#ShowYourStripes Day is on June 21. Some share warming stripe graphs to visualise yearly temperature changes.
One can see increases over the last 40+ years in Los Angeles. The oceanic graph shows a stronger trend towards warming showing increased heat absorption relative to land.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.
Trump declares war on cities
“We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

1. The Trump administration has crippled cancer and Alzheimer's research by imposing a freeze on all government credit cards at NIH.
An NIH source with direct knowledge tell Popular Information that scientific research has ground to halt because necessary supplies can no longer be purchased.

The False Gospel of Stuff and Status
We have become disciples of a flawed creed. To chase passion and value people is a much wiser way to live; or Ikigai, Detectorists, and the real meaning of life.
