I spent a lot of time in the American Gods and Good Omens fandoms (even wrote an article: www.fandom.com/articles/ame...). Mo Ryan's article made me realize something stunk. It wasn't until he didn't even acknowledge the Orlando Jones situation that I realized what stunk was Neil

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Agree on the politics, but important to realize Rubio et al believe Venezuela regime change is the key to transforming the whole region, not least Cuba. Very much like neocons and Iraq, very parallel. This is a major geopolitical aim for them, much deeper than wag the dog
Seems like Trump and his groupies think starting a regime change war of conquest out of nowhere is a political masterstroke that will get them back on the front foot, but I don’t think that’s how it will play out.

![Tesla's Sales in California Set to Be Suspended, DMV Says
By Madlin Mekelburg, Dana Hull and Kara Carlson 12/16/2025 18:45:44 [BN]
(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc.'s sales in California are set to be suspended for 30 days as a penalty for allegedly misleading consumers about its driver-assistance technology, according to the head of the state's motor vehicles department.
The agency decided to adopt the recommendation of a suspension from an administrative judge, but the suspension won't take effect for 90 days to allow Tesla to come into compliance, the official said during a press conference Tuesday.
Tesla shares fell 1.3% at 6:41 p.m. in postmarket trading in New York.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreibpvvgbrxtvgrtlfn5cc464hm6fiprfaiwp5vjhccmfo6lwvvrve4@jpeg)
