It's literally all projection, exhibit one million

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

I haven't rewatched the whole thing, but from what I recall, Wolf Blizter gets most of his points by running the board in the D.C. Sports category and strikes out pretty much everywhere else

NEW: Biofuels globally emit more than the fossil fuels they replace, our latest study shows.

The first-of-a-kind study looks at global biofuels production today and the potential impacts of government biofuel targets.

A Greek millionaire who went to Cambridge couldn't translate "The Last Supper" from Italian to English. "It's something like the final something."

alright, I was misremembering it somewhat. Blitzer is actually in the lead until the end, and Stone rockets to a commanding lead in Final Jeopardy. Huffington was never competitive. (Blitzer answered the question below with "David," lol)

ah, it's still on Internet Archive. thanks, Internet Archive.

the actual episode doesn't seem to be on YouTube anymore, but there's still a video titled "45 grams of fat! - Fat stopper ad from Oliver Stone's Jeopardy show appearance." It's real, it happened. I saw it. Oliver Stone appears to be stoned the whole game www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAKN...

What makes this funnier is that it's not the only time Wolf Blitzer has been completely embarrassed at Celebrity Jeopardy. Oliver Stone wiped the floor with him, in a match where he couldn't even keep up with Arianna Huffington. he's a real life SNL Celebrity Jeopardy character

nice to be reminded that there was probably a good reason I got blocked by him on Twitter

This one highway is projected to cost 85% of what CA has spent on high-speed rail over 15 years and hundreds of miles. If we can afford this, we can afford high-speed rail.

Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

Resist Lib solidarity entryism in DSA is a very funny scenario that has never occurred to me. don't know that I think it's likely though

One thing people should know is that Choe works for Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk's group, and was at the WH on behalf of that group

anyway Stephen Miller is going to declare that DSA membership is a criminal federal isn't he

I am fondly recalling the time I saw a black bloc kid smack Jonathan Choe's phone to the ground while he was recording at a protest action

anyway, I am still convinced there must be some kind of bodies in some kind of basement there

eight fucking years...

my 👏 lifestyle 👏 does 👏 not 👏 have 👏 negative 👏 externalities

so many liberals live in a fantasy version of the world. will vast areas of the tropics be desertified and the Ganges delta largely underwater due to climate change? doesn't matter, that won't push migration to the north because line always goes up

everyone who's claiming to not see this should play some Star Wars Battlefront II matches. it's very clear that a bunch of people are having fun saying something which isn't *quite* the n-word but can be deployed like it

yeah, I wouldn't think of 'slop' as a slur at all; it's just a pejorative way to refer to the output of AI, which doesn't reify AI in the same way 'clanker' etc. do

using a slur against an AI isn't racism against a computer, but it's allowing that there is a concrete entity towards which one could express antipathy to, which is already accepting more of the AI boosters' position than their critics should.
