Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:
An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.
It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

"they are going to end cancer research and kill its top scientists" is the kind of thing that would get you laughed out of the writer's room on saturday morning cartoons and it is literally what's happening
one of the world's top cancer scientists, who works for Harvard, is at risk of deportation to Russia where she might be killed for criticizing Putin, because she allegedly failed to disclose carrying frog embryos at the border. it's upending American medical research: prospect.org/health/2025-...

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

this is straightforwardly an effort to try to re-segregate the officer corps
Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

If you'd like to publish your book without enriching four entities that emerged from the bio-jelly of a thousand pulped tech-bros, you could scan this writeup I put together on self publishing Legends & Lattes, which cost less than 5k and involved human artists and editors

Absolutely not. You're wrongly taking the bait here.
There is an openly fascist platform, and a second one built along early internet lines, where individuals (even right wing ones) can choose how they want to interact with each other.

If I take a step back and think about it, it actually makes perfect sense we would end up with a right coded social media platform and a left coded one.

“Washington Post endorsed Kamala Harris” is not a story
“Washington Post and LA Times refuse to endorse out of fear of retribution from Donald Trump and signal their compliance in advance” is a fucking story
whether anyone will heed the warning I don’t know but it is a loud one

The irony is that the Post's capitulation/failure to endorse makes much more of a statement and has a far more profound impact on this country than any endorsement ever could.

remember that the FIRST thing that Trump did in 2016 was the muslim ban, which every news organization had treated as a piece of campaign blather
he meant it and he did it immediately
he means this, and he will do it, and we'll see cops rounding people up in the streets within the first week

Speaker Johnson says deporting 4.5 million people will be his top priority in January. Is this what voters want? We're pretty cooked as a country if so.
