Yes, having grown up in the 1990s when this was the prime dark fantasy of the NRA, this is really something to behold. From a social science perspective, it's another piece of evidence that most of what we call ideology is really just identity politics.
It still blows my mind that the lawless government paramilitary stormtroopers from every 1990's conspiracy theory have arrived and all the don't tread on me 1776 people just pulled a fade.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Maybe the Dodgers could donate to the food bank at LAX to support the Air Traffic Controllers and TSA agents who are working without pay
Asked about the trip from Toronto to LA, Dave Roberts said:
"I don't want to get too far into it. I just arrived about 30 minutes ago. So there was some delays. I don't know if there was intent or not. But, man, the international stuff was a bear. But we made it. We made it."

Important new article about SRM. Lots of concerning stuff in there, but the scariest is the fact that this is all being led by a for-profit company.
Major scoop from @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social:
Stardust Solutions, the Israeli geoengineering startup led by a team of Israeli physicists, just raised $60 million to develop the technology to artificially cool the planet by reflecting sunlight as soon as the 2030s.

So I obviously know zero about fluvial sedimentology, but the final part of this reply (“Scientific discourse” section), on language/tone in scientific criticism, is really excellent and well worth a read

As pointed out in the Reply, the language used in the Discussion is 100% inappropriate and in my view, a failure of the editorial process

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.
