My goal working in #climate is that on Jan 1st, 2050, my dear friend who - despite many other fine qualities - doesn't believe in #climatechange will turn to me and say, "I told you so. Nothing much happened."
I shall perfect my delivery of, "Yes, dear" as the date approaches.

Oh my God she stole a bereaved little boy's DOG?

Why hasn't Massie done that? Is he waiting for the primary? The election? Does he think it would cost the Dems the House in the midterms and therefore shouldn't happen? What principle or cowardice is keeping him from doing it?

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

The BLS just released the *final* CES benchmark revisions with this morning's jobs report.
The 2025 labor market was dramatically weaker than originally reported... and for 12 straight months, job growth was never statistically different from zero.

The other story is that 130K a month isn't enough to keep pace with population, so it's actually negative 20K.

When my MIL had Alzheimer's she invented "That Woman", a shady figure who stole her things. Something missing? That Woman took it.
Alas, we never caught That Woman. And as a result, she has now escalated to moonlighting as Prime Minister of Switzerland.
(Switzerland has no Prime Minister.)

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

I am very worried about this. And even more worried about what historically happens in that scenario to the ones who cannot work.

Fun story: while serving in Egypt in WW2 as tank commander in the Allied army, my grandfather wrote in one of his letters home how happy he was that their water ration had gone up, "So now we have enough to drink AND wash!"

Great essay. One q I had: I understand from your book a bit about how these camps are often sites for forced labor. How can one most effectively deter (boycott? sue? publicly name?) any entity that acts like eg. IG Farben and benefits from this?

"The plan is create a choice: support Judge "Box O' Wine" Pirro, OR support a decorated Army Ranger & lawyer who's also a 40-something blue-eyed white guy who reminds Americans of the lead in 90% of Hollywood movies and is most famous for saying soldiers shouldn't break the law."

Today we’re launching Open Climate Risk, a fully open option for U.S. building-level climate risk data. It’s unique because it allows you to see not only risk scores, starting with wildfire, but also the complete underlying dataset, methods, and codebase. carbonplan.org/research/cli...

Rep Jason Crow is a lawyer, a Ranger with 3 combat tours, and unseated a 4-term R incumbent. During the Jan 6 insurrection he helped secure doors, prepared to fight, and held the hand of a Dem colleague.
Crikey. It's like he was made in a lab to fight exactly what we're up against.

There's something insanely ironic about JD Vance accidentally doing the right thing by acknowledging the Armenian genocide, after very recently putting out a Holocaust Remembrance Day message that (in order not to alienate his biggest fans) verrrry carefully didn't mention Jews.
