When will the climate change coastal property bubble pop? A significant acceleration in coastal flooding from a lunar orbit shift (mid-2030s) will significantly stress the market. My 2024 post: "When will climate change turn life in the U.S. upside down?"

I wrote about the Bari Weiss take over of CBS News as part of a broader trend away from the pretense of liberal institutionalism into a genuinely post-reality tabloidism, marked by AI slop, unsophisticated Trumpian-Likudite propaganda and consolidation of traditional and social media.

also Quiverfuls are adaptable to adoption, even adoption of kids of other races (Quiverfuls tend to be white)

Derek of the Edmund Fitzgerald (but spooky) @giromide.online · 1d

to be clear, I think Pro-Natalists and Quiverfuls overlap maybe just a little, but the former are driven by more ostensibly secular concerns than the latter, many of whom believe they must outpopulate "the pagans"
