It is somewhat heartening to know that the pace of growth in CO2 emissions is slowing. Not ending, but use of renewable energy and increased efficiency is making a difference.

I doubt that Trump will actually run in 2024 (but not certain), so it would be a good idea for states to pass laws forbidding people not constitutionally eligible to president to be on the state ballots.

STEM folks are drawn to the cool and exciting parts of what we can do in space. And that will include people going there. Better this than have them all making weapons.

The Large Language Models at the core of the AI's can do a good job. A few days ago I asked the Grok AI to do a version of Modern Major General but use "Amateur Astronomer" in its place. Here's what it came up with.

I get the impression that the public and other officials would not have been satisfied with anything less than a 48 hour warning that forecast the exact amount of rainfall and how many cubic feet of water the rivers were going to throw. In other, words, they wanted the impossible.

I think at least part of the reason for the attacks is that Trump wanted his own moment of "somber president delivering unexpected victory news" that Obama had with bin Laden's deliverance.

For a long time, I thought Standard and Poor (of the S&P 500) was a judgement on the quality of the companies.
