Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media.

What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation.

Saw a clip from Landsman recently that made an argument I've heard frequently in the past that the carbon cost of wind turbine's production and installation exceeds what they actually produce. Is that true? Hint: NO! yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/06/what...

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/m... Can a correlation be made between immigration rates and the rise of the Right in so many countries recently? With Fox beating the drum 24/7 would lowering the rates to Denmark's levels make any difference in the US?

Fantastic.
There’s a Turkish phrase about the upside of hitting rock bottom being that things can’t get any worse. It goes göte giren şemsiye açılmaz and it means “an umbrella up one’s ass cannot be opened”

0°F (-18°C) here but Sadie on the sofa beside me, coffee in hand and David Lean on the tube. Will fire up the woodstove in a bit but doubt much will get accomplished otherwise.
