it is legitimately unfathomable how the US squandered its significant EV early lead primarily through entirely backwards short-sighted policy decisions in support of the oil industry which likely has already set the stages of the US auto industry's demise. a death in slow motion.
This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

What a deep, tremendous shame. I don’t think opponents of Trump need to self flagellate over his monstrous actions but we do need to acknowledge what was done in the name of our country, and that it will make it less and less likely anyone ever lifts a finger to help us again.
I'm ashamed of our country.
this admin? yes. this is the work of twisted craven men.
but the whole country. for decades, we simply didn't care enough. collectively. caring about the destruction we left in our wake, was simply too much of a bother
Sad and ashamed.

Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
“This is a systemic violent act, to be detaining children, that has long-term consequences,” Kelley said. “It’s massively detrimental to the well-being of these families and our whole communities.”
Tomorrow is a big day. It’s not the day I start my running routine at 6. But it is the day I start feeling bad about not doing it.
I still prefer “Entities” as the class term. But thing 1 & thing 2 > tuzo & jason
Now I have to watch the film to read the blog
This is actually the linchpin in defining the sub field.
Geology: Bedrock, oroginies, upthrust, cleavage, kink, drag
Seismology: Large low-shear-velocity provinces
I read this as “Minoans” and was temporarily very confused. Feel like the Mycenaeans were more culpable imho
If they had just called this “The Entities” instead of “Large low-shear-velocity provinces”, kids would be more into Seismology.
(The two entities are named Tuzo and Jason).
One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.
The graves of multiple children have been defaced.
One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.
And for those of us with small businesses that require supplies, we didn't buy wholesale goods and pay tariffs directly, but we paid more for our supplies in very chaotic ways, and we'll never get any of that back. The Trump regime should be sued by everyone for different reasons every day forever.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
John Roberts’ Wife Made Millions From Bribes
Roberts accepted $10 Million in bribes disguised as recruiting fees from Law firms with cases pending before the Supreme Court.

this is important to get your head around the basic shape of water use out West. farmers get the overwhelming majority of it--far more than all industry and cities put together--and pay almost nothing for it
Yeah. "I disagree with the Court's legal analysis" is one thing, but "the Court isn't using legal analysis to decide cases" is another. The latter is no longer in the realm of law and should not be treated as if it is.
A Democratic House and Senate should look to pass a law banning Republican SCOTUS’s shadow docket.
Reminds me of this paper: www.jstor.org/stable/21183...
strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
The SCOTUS -> woke pipeline in one image.
Poll results on “If you could choose when you live” >50 yrs in the past 18%, <50 yrs in the past 27%, present 43%, <50 yrs in the future 4%, >50 yrs in future 8%.
A very interesting stat from NBC’s latest poll. People *by far* say they would rather live in the past than the future. A strong signal that many don’t like what they see ahead.
As we read this about the Roberts Court let’s remember the shadow docket grievously harmed American scientific research, cancer cures, and public health over the past year.
For ex, KBJ’s “Calvinball” quote was in an NIH case. More, short 🧵 1/
Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
Trump administration planning to pay Trump $10 billion
Hard to square the “Obama issuing regulations for coal plants is expansive executive overreach” with “Trump can commit crimes in office, risk of prosecution is a threat to the executive branch’s power”.
I struggle to find words to express how crass and brutish the court’s treatment of the law is.
That's just half of it.
The 2nd half is Roberts explicitly saying he's probably going to rule it illegal before reading any briefs or hearing oral arguments. He's just an extreme political hack.
Also a bad lawyer. No serious lawyer would put something like that in writing.
