I know, I know, polycrisis, existential risks, elite impunity & brain rot, but I’m over here still thinking about why street urchin, aspiring detective, and radio mad scientist Skeet Wheeler—father of Vineland’s Zoyd (who never shrugs)—has the last word in “Shadow Ticket” if not in Pynchon’s oeuvre.

US plan to exploit Venezuela’s oil could eat up 13% of carbon budget to keep 1.5C limit
Exclusive: ClimatePartner analysis shows how move would risk plunging Earth further into climate catastrophe
US plans to exploit Venezuela’s oil reserves could by 2050 consume more than a tenth of the world’s remaining carbon budget to limit global heating to 1.5C, according to an exclusive analysis.
The calculation highlights how any moves to further exploit the South American nation’s oil reserves – the largest in the world, at least on paper – would put increasing pressure on climate goals, and risk plunging the globe further into climate catastrophe. Continue reading...

The American military is a finite resource. Further, they operate by moving physical resources in time and space. Much of the Discourse does not reflect this. Donald Trump, of course, has had little awareness of such things, and his apparent descent into dementia isn’t helping. Let me be specific, if I am advancing such criticism. […]

The problem with ICE is not insufficient training or even training content.
It’s creating an agency where you give people guns and tell them to terrorize Brown people and then recruit people excited to do that.

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Vance's stance is, almost literally, "Well, she shouldn't have mouthed off like that. She asked for it."
When Vance insists, contra the videos, that Good threatened the ICE agent and "had it coming", what he means is that he, like Ross, feels threatened by any woman who has the audacity to use her voice in the public sphere.
This deeply misogynist worldview is core to MAGA.
