This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Most people don't know what Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration actually means in practice, how it should work, and why it's a specialized domain of research and practice.

If you wrote a good overview to inform the discussion it could be very valuable right now.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

my high school car was the family hand-me-down '79 lincoln mercury zephyr station wagon with the fake wood paneling. that car sucked! nostalgia sucks and is for shit-for-brains.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

“Modslop” is the assertion Dems could win southern white people if they spent their whole campaigns reacting to Republican talking points.

Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"
