Apropos of nothing, IMHO, baseball has been more willing in recent years to make radical changes to the game than other major sports. Pitch clock, banning the shift, disengagement rules, 10th inning ghostrunners, ABS. Something to consider when just "calling balls and strikes" isn't working well.

Very interesting account of how oil & gas industry escapes responsibility for orphaned wells.

Utah just "made it nearly impossible for residents to hold fossil fuel companies legally accountable for climate damages."
Four other red states are now considering similar laws.
This is part of a push from Big Oil and its political allies to secure federal legal immunity—and it must be stopped.

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/
It was!

There's something very bread and circuses about the NFL but I am a Seahawks fan and I am enjoying the evening so far 💙💚
Refinery workers and community groups don’t usually speak with a single voice. The fact that they have come together around this issue is telling. We should all be concerned.

If you can walk/run towards a car you can most likely also walk/run away from said car but what do I know I just go by what I see in multiple verified videos shot from multiple angles
Although Tom Ragsdale’s oil companies owe New Mexico more than $3.5 million for pollution and unpaid fees, the state has recovered only about $50,000.
Drillers across the industry have employed similar tactics in what is known as “the playbook.”

I am really feeling the "bread and circuses" vibe these days but wow what a game #seahawks
Speaking of the operator's word, should past bad actor behavior factor into future permitting? How about the billions of dollars in unmet closure obligations the oil and gas sector is passing on to taxpayers? In Matt Y's understanding of "benefits to the economy," do those costs remain externalized?
For example, let's say a recent agency order approving a plan to drill & produce 150+ wells instructs the operator to "use electricity to power all operations through the drilling and production phases at all locations within [the planned area]." Who enforces? Do we take the operator's word for it?
Still, let's say you succeed in convincing the regulator to mandate electrification or apply a lot of BMPs to improve safety/enviro + public health. Are there strong oversight and reporting requirements in place to ensure any of those are implemented?
"Democrats should insist on best practices, regulate methane leaks, promote electrification of drilling operations and support the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program."
Ok. I have advocated for these seemingly-anodyne measures, and hear resistance about defining terms, costs, feasibility, and more.

For a high school AP English assignment about extended metaphor, I wrote about the progression of my grandfather's neurodegenerative disease and the Skylab space station's demise. It was...fine. It was also a HIGH SCHOOL WRITING ASSIGNMENT and not, say, a choice I'd employ as a professional journo 🤷🏽♀️
