Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

See, this is the problem with cutting the liberal arts. No one appreciates the beauty of the prompt for its own sake.

This is disgusting.

If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie.

This by Quinn Slobodian has been on my reading list. Seems relevant?

I'm delighted that my article "Building Power: Can Wind and Solar Development Foster Equity and Democracy?" will appear in volume 38 of the Georgetown Environmental Law Review. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Seems bad. SB307 would allow utilities to self-regulate new (likely gas) power plants inside and outside of Arkansas, and charge new rates, without PSC approval. It'll be easier to plan and cancel an out-of-state nuke than build renewables. #arpx #arleg

About 500 came out to protest in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years

Making America Great Again!

But perhaps they've been playing a different game. Trump has been a Gemeinschaft patriarch/mob boss his whole life; Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc. are in this regard toddlers.

You'd expect that to claw their way up corporate hierarchies (including as VC-funded founders), they'd have developed their own hypersensitivities to the intentions behind perceived slights and abilities to reward friends and punish enemies.

Win Dan's new book! I've gotten a sneak preview from past conversations with him - it would be fascinating on its own even if it weren't so timely.

Late to the party, but I think of this one from time to time. www.theonion.com/affluent-whi...
