I'm writing a book that is, among other things, about the origin of Columbus Day so I have a LOT to say on the topic, but going to keep my powder dry for now.

The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

As always with Rs, the sense is not so much that they deny the physical phenomenon of climate change as the presence or absence of the phenomenon simply never enters their thinking. They interact with it *purely* as a partisan matter, something libs care about. No awareness of a world beyond.

RIP Cubs 2026. PCA season was amazing and I’m grateful, pitching injuries too much to overcome, but also: it continues to burn that this organization with all its resources keeps getting lapped by Milwaukee. This year felt like a step back.

yes they absolutely should be redesigned, but I also think it's possible - and I don't know, can't predict the future - that as the technology diffuses the entire interface this set of tasks totally changes across the board, in the same way the internet/phone access changed it and even more.

I was actually talking about the Caribbean where I think the legal argument for murder is even stronger than the arguments in the Iran context, though there are definitely arguments there.

There are so many tasks in managing a household that are annoying and a time suck and not fulfilling or interesting in any way and not really outsource-able in any way that would be great to offload. Please, yes, figure out what I actually owe my dentist and pay it, thank you.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

One small, but powerful way that LLM's are supercharging scamming is by allowing scammers to write perfect context-appropriate prose - emails, invitations, "hey checking in" - that before AI would have this slightly *off* uncanniness that would alert the victim. No longer!

re-upping this because we've reached another tentative equilibrium in which Saudis have been able to ramp up exports, and oil and gasoline both have come back down a bit off their highs. But with Trump formally rejecting Iranian deal, look for Iran to start using other methods to apply pressure

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

Someone needs to explain to Trump that the worse Republicans do in the midterms, the better it looks for him. Just goes to show the party is utterly lost without him on the ballot! He’s literally the only Republican who has the juice. (Natalie, if you see this, please print and share.)

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]
