For pretty much any critique you can level at any source of energy -- inefficient, too much pollution, takes too much land, has too many externalities, is propped up by subsidies, whatever -- it's worse for corn ethanol.
It's worse in all dimensions. It has zero redeeming features.

Corn’s clean-energy promise is clashing with its climate footprint
Corn dominates U.S. farmland and fuels the ethanol industry. But the fertilizer it relies on drives emissions and fouls drinking water.

Whether it's garbage NYT left-bait or right wing flood-the-zone nonsense that we all pile on to, we are letting the wrong people set our overall information agenda in a very deep and fundamental way. And it's a very serious mistake.

This is the essence of the emerging fascist state.
Access to resources and programs designed to make our lives better is being stolen from us so that the oppressors can use, hoard, and distribute them to friends and hold them ransom in order to force compliance.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Opening Parks During Shutdown Part of Plan to Ruin Them
The Trump administration is selling out America’s national parks. Keeping them open during the shutdown makes them dangerous, filthy, and easier to seize.

This detail from the WSJ’s new Trump-Epstein reporting also seems pretty bad www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
![The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/bafkreigzf4vcuypypy43c3cqqmp4amb4i6ubi5ap5mv2t2ymvzilcwjise@jpeg)
