One problem is that many articulate, confident people are forbidden by the terms of their employment to speak out. To acquiesce in the power that threatens everything is acceptable and uncontroversial. To contest it brings your employer "into disrepute" and could have you sacked.

A good job there’s nothing serious going on in the world at the moment so we can devote all resources to this.

Republicans: Everything MUST be done to maximize resource development in Alaska! Even if it's at the expense of other fundamental rights! It's in the Constitution!

Well, how about taxes on oil companies?

Republicans: NOT LIKE THAT!!!

Rep. Stapp makes a dumbass special order on "On the topic of it feels a little weird to talk about each other in the third person, but I'm going to do it too."

And then he gets up and says,

"That was it basically, thanks."

(RIGHT AFTER JOHNSON WAS SAYING IT'S NOT THE GOP WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME)

Tuberculosis Outbreaks Worsening in Nunavik While Quebec Government Ignores Calls to Declare Public Health Emergency New research finds lack of resources, language barriers persist in this Inuit region, where Red Cross has been called to help with TB.

“Nunavik, with a population of 14,000, has seen as many cases of tuberculosis in the first three months of 2026 — around 40 — as were diagnosed in the first six months of 2025. According to a statement from the NRBHSS, eight out of the 14 communities in the region have active outbreaks currently”

Ice chart of the Baltic Sea on 20 April 2026 showing mostly ice-free conditions, with remaining sea ice confined to only the northern Gulf of Bothnia, contrasting with previously extensive ice cover earlier in the winter. The Gulf of Finland is fully ice free with temperatures already reaching up to 5°C.

Currently, the majority of the Baltic Sea is completely ice-free after a warm start of spring.

Such a contrast!

The subject of scientific concepts and their legitimate operationalization is one that I think philosophers of science should have lots to say on but, in reality, rarely weigh in on as it requires differentiating between sound and poor science.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

ICYMI, my post on how the silting up of a sea channel destroyed two cities.

I grew up in Alaska. During the "survivalist" boom of the late 1970s through the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In a place where you could wander off into trackless wilderness and live like a pioneer. My parents homesteaded. And sold the land the first month it was legal for them to do so.

A year ago I caused a shit storm in the parent group chat by saying that ASD was cutting things because of its budget, which is a result of (these parents) voting for cuts.

Well now they're freaking out, and still refusing to get it.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

my edgy Covid take is that I while I did socially isolate until vaccines came online for the good of society, I absolutely loathed being unable to see people in person, throw a party, or travel for over a year, and I enjoyed absolutely nothing whatsoever about any of it

Recently have been putting a lot of thought into what norms govern the movement between folk concepts and scientific concepts. What concepts are resistant to operationalization? Really interesting thread from a cognitive scientist on what concepts we can have “theories of.”

the 1990s were quite the time

man Camille Paglia was such a bizarre phenomenon, just a sort of cross-spectrum troll.

Or it goes down for everyone but the rich who aren't really doing anything to earn it.

(It is why I ask what I have & do of others "here", am "demanding" of more of us "here",... & the days, "these days" now, indeed, have come to only support that, over time, eh? It is not just "all rhetoric",... what's happening & what "we" can "actually do about it", indeed, eh? Onwards!)
