Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Landfill Panic vs System Reality: What Wind & Solar Actually Displace - CleanTechnica
Claims about wind and solar filling landfills ignore what they displace. On a per MWh basis, fossil fuels emit orders of magnitude more harmful mass.

Although Trump’s abhorrent political beliefs are ultimately more damaging to the nation, his reprehensible personality is more shocking to me on a personal level.
I can’t fathom how anyone can support someone who is so obviously a terrible human being.

"Hurling dildos at WNBA players had a very particular message: You may think you are elite athletes, but to us you are still here to be mocked & sexualized & demeaned. And when Don Jr. posted that image to his 9.7 million followers, he was saying *That’s what I think of you too, and so does my dad*"
Trump isn't the solution to the "crisis of manhood," he's the problem
The misogyny comes fast and furious. Anything real to make men's lives better? Not so much.

President Trump’s firing of the top data collector has few U.S. precedents. When other world leaders took similar steps, it rarely ended well. Economists say unbiased data is essential for policymaking, and for democracy.

Gravity is a relatively weak force, but if too much mass accumulates in one place, it becomes crushingly strong, distorting and disrupting everything around it.

This. 1000x this. Unprecedented, open monetization of the presidency, first at his hotel every day in 2017-21, & now in even more unprecedentedly & overly corrupt & unconstitutional ways. And we've just yawned as a country. It's shameful. And everyone in Congress who swore oaths is violating them.
I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.
An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as *** $20 MILLION *** worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
