OK, so that's it now. 2026 is officially open season on unfair gerrymandering. Open the gates. Law of the jungle. My fellow Dems will now also increase unfairness in order to defend from the onslaught of GOP unfairness. It did not have to be this way. I'd rather it wasn't.

Re: Georgia case.

Before it is forgotten to revisionist history, I want to share this hour-and-a-half synopsis video of the January 6th hearings. It is damning in a deep and comprehensive way, especially considering the majority of witnesses giving testimony are dyed-in-the-wool conservatives.

It’s one thing to have different environmental/health priorities for your foundation, it’s quite another to have been bankrolling one of the primary sources of bullshit on the topic.

Joe Rogan might call this a brutal KO, if it wasn't him getting knocked the F out.

A supremely delightful takedown by @climatetown.bsky.social of Rogan's confident, ignorant, and dangerous climate denial.

Okay, I did it. I supported my local NPR and PBS stations. Easy. And I'm of a modest income, so it's proportional. The best bonus ever is getting access to the FULL LIBRARY of the PBS streaming app on my TV. Years and years of content.

Understand, this is not about some free-market philosophical purity for non-planet-heating energy. This is now about a purposeful targeting of non-planet-heating energy. It is an attempted assassination of the great energy transition and our attempt to curb the rise of global warming.

I’m very sad to find out Bill Moyers has died. His work touched my life deeply over the decades. From his universe-framing interviews with Joseph Campbell to his, um, universe-framing interviews with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. This one hits me.

NSIDC has disclaimer at top of their page. The DOD is "reducing the priority" of providing data on shrinking ice. Now looking to Japanese to help fill in the new data gaps. US gov can no longer be depended upon for measuring the developing effects of global warming.

Please pair this with the recent additional command for the EPA to stop counting carbon emissions from polluters. So the current admin is now stopping the measuring of both the causes AND effects of climate change in the United States.
