Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

This puts the legal framework in place to sell off existing State Highways under the guise of corridor upgrade and maintenance contracts.
The press release headline should be "Govt readying roads for privatisation."

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

The projections from 2023 are shown here (green dashed line): a rapid reduction in emissions was projected, with the gap to the NDC only 58Mt... 26Mt better than now projected. 4/-

That means that if we'd followed the 2023 policy track, we could have avoided over $1 billion in offshore mitigation to meet New Zealand's 2030 Paris Agreement NDC (>20Mt at say ~$NZ50/t). /ends

You want a James Bond movie idea? Try this:
A guy wakes up in a tuxedo without knowing who or where he is. A note in his pocket directs him to go to MI6. There he's informed that he has been part of a program to train and prepare the new Agent 007, his past erased.
Call it THE BOND IDENTITY.
