How did Spam Blondie become so bitter and angry?
Does she suffer from repressed childhood abuse memories? Something is seriously wrong with that woman.

He probably just picked up the hat when he was walking around drunk somewhere. Or maybe he thought, "Hey, those guys are losers; I can relate."

If the Administration wants to do something about American youth suffering from climate anxiety, they should do something to address the climate crisis, not try to cover it up.

My wife and I were there. I think your estimate is about right. Hard to say, for sure, because the demo was stung along 10-12 blocks, but it was packed and quite a few people deep along the road. Good spirits.
Now let's work on daily acts of resistance, large and small.

I had an email correspondence with him too. Also shocked to learn of his untimely departure. Let's keep fighting his good fight.

It's just as well he's backing off. I just read that he's buying Three Mile Island to power one of his servers or for some such purpose.

I was fortunate enough to have a 1-to-1 email correspondence with Dr. Huq. I was shocked to learn of his departure, and knew the world had lost a treasure. Thanks to all who are keeping his memory and his work alive.

I'm not a lawyer, but my first impression was that the Chevron overturn will lead to no end of litigation. The bad news is that in the southern circuits, the the environmental good guys will lose a lot of those actions — but in California, etc., we will prevail. In any case, this SCOTUS sucks.
