PETE: “Blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela, renaming the DOD the Department of War… Trump came in saying he’s peace guy, but he’s posting ‘Apocalypse Now’ memes about making war on Chicago. He’s not exactly a peacenik.”

You have to hand it to the generals. Unlike so many other people in this country, they know how to conduct themselves in public. They know they are supposed to be apolitical. So they greeted Trump's political speech with silence. And you could have heard a medal drop when Pete Hegseth finished.

I used to assume that Donald Trump had shitty lawyers because he's notorious for not paying them. But this is a lawyer paid for by the US government. So, clearly, Donald has shitty lawyers because he makes shitty decisions about hiring them.

One thing I noticed about this is that Nexstar and Sinclair deleted all their social media posts regarding them preempting Kimmel too ... Disney definitely came down hard. Which, I guess I have to hand it to them.

Climate turning point
Three excellent essays last month point to a turning point in climate with, I think, a broad political ramification.

Same here. Waiting for the next notification though because I never created an account in the first place and surely never uploaded anything. It's a curious business model.

Admire this short and eloquent article, pointing out that we need better and better time machines. 👇

It's a great and difficult challenge for economists to work on optimal time paths of climate-relevant incentives (emmission permits, push&pull of tech innovation, ...).

From things I've seen recently, I think many people would benefit from reading this. It's short, and it's free.

In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically.
