We should be learning from other countries...

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Recently watched Caveat and Oddity, and I can't wait to see Hokum. Damian McCarthy is creating a very cool universe with these films and I very much look forward to seeing it grow.

This guy's voice is one of the worst sounds I've ever heard.

Quick peek at the essay I wrote on Lee Gold! She had been running the gaming APA Alarums & Excursions for almost 50 years and just called time on it last spring. Truly a legend in rpgs and a big part of my upcoming documentary podcast

I used to love seeing Dennis Woodruff’s and Angelyne’s cars around Hwd.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

"And here are the steps I, a U.S. Senator, am taking to make that happen..."

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

yet another reason to leave substack (before they make it even harder to leave):

The Minneapolis Mayor's Appointments Should Be Subject to City Council Confirmation » The Wedge Times-Picayune The Minneapolis Charter Commission will consider a charter amendment at a meeting this Thursday that would strip the city council of the power to confirm mayoral appointees to lead six city…

It's weird that I had to write a whole thing that amounts to "Executive Branch Appointments Should Be Subject to Legislative Branch Confirmation." I shouldn't have to compose such an argument. The Minneapolis Charter Commission is out of control. Tell them to stop.

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

You can use our new database to explore the financial disclosures — and potential conflicts of interest — of President Donald Trump and more than 1,500 of his appointees.
