Interested in comedy and space and leaving the “bad place” behind. And speaking of bad places, The Good Place season 3 is really super relevant to regular people being moral in a modern society, and I love everyone that brought that into my life.

The IRA was useful, in a way, for testing a particular political theory of climate action: that you could hide its transformational nature and get support for it by mostly offloading it onto red state corporations. It was a reasonable theory. And now we are going to have to try something else
"The IRA’s survival was premised on the logic that a loose alignment of corporations would support climate policies in exchange for subsidies and convince Republicans to get on their side. That didn’t work." newrepublic.com/article/2027...

It was far too easy for Republicans to kill the Inflation Reduction Act. Where did those who crafted it go wrong?

Lot of talk about if thanksgiving food is good. This is nonsense. Just as cigarettes are nicotine delivery devices, thanksgiving food is a gravy delivery device. Get the gravy right and nothing else matters.
