One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

This article is a really, really stunning example of how wind power is received in Norway.

A proposed wind farm site right next to a massive highway and industrial area is being opposed on the grounds that it 'destroys nature' and is too noisy

Mener vindkraft er verre enn motorvei og industri

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.
What Climate Change Will Do to America by Mid-Century
Many places may become uninhabitable. Many people may be on their own.

I propose an international law that once you become personally responsible for the murder of 1,000 people, be it via direct violence or policy, you are declared a dragon and adventurers can form parties to quest against you.

I don’t get why that key detail is so hard for them—they seem to genuinely believe they’re too smart for it?

Republicans will never extend the ACA subsidies.

No matter what.

They're at the finish line of a 15-year quest to destroy it.

Catherine my good bitch you guys are the only ones who do not know where the Republicans stand
Steve Inskeep: You think the Republicans voting with you here will not only agree to these measures, but actually try to do something if the administration ignores them?

Sen Cortez Masto: If they go back on their word, then the American public will know where the Republicans stand.

Adam Corolla is the textbook example of why divorce protections are important for nonworking spouses - he used to brag routinely on his show about how his wife didn't have to work because he earned so much. It was a point of pride for him that she quit her job when they got married.

The Lexus ad where they show a family over the years & their car goes from a reasonable sedan to a bloated SUV with oversized hood by the end.

It accidentally tells the story of why pedestrian fatalities have been rising.

Chavez in Venezuela discovered that they didn’t need to shut down the “fake media” but instead buy it and use it as a legitimizing tool. So the rich cronies just bought every media. It’s a playbook, nothing new, just new to you

"Oil demand and emissions in the transport sector fell by 5% in the third quarter, but grew elsewhere by 10%, as the production of plastics and other chemicals surged."

#China is cutting oil demand in transport. Has that ever happened in Western countries?

The blueprint for winning big on climate also came out last night. No more technocratic, policy wonk approaches. People showed they care about utility bills, free buses, affordable housing, etc. These are all climate issues. Talk about climate in terms people understand and experience.
