The king-like immunity trail of the POTUS crime tsunami traces from MAGA's 6-3 SCOTUS through to an ex-Majority Leader from Kentucky bought by Texas oil. He's The Fixer. Any showrunners? peaksurfer.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-fixer.html

In early 2019, I published a satirical post featuring Donald Trump as The Penguin, the DC Comics Batman villain. The comparison may have seemed obscure to many. I suspect it is less so now. peaksurfer.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

In a new paper, Joe Romm eviscerates afforestation, BECCS and DACCS as climate solutions. Excluded from the lynching is biochar, because it's nearly doubling its production scale annually & could, at that rate, achieve global CO2 neutrality by 2048. www.patreon.com/posts/gettin...

At what point can you stand in front of a tractor tire rolling downhill and not only stop it (tip it over), but also push it back up? You’d have to be pretty close to the top of the hill. The metaphor applies to both authoritarianism and climate change

Lest we’ve forgotten, Thomas Jefferson used the first autopen in March 1804, during his first term, and used it some 19,000 times both in his official capacity and for private letters.
