One of the best takedowns of the "rationalists" and Libertarians is in Fargo, season 5: Roy: "I want freedom without arbitrary rules.” Lorraine: "So you want freedom without responsibility? Son, there's only one person on Earth who gets that deal." Roy: "The President?" Lorraine: "A baby.”

And, look who is promoting this campaign. Also, there is a name floating around X. No one has any idea if the name of that person is truly this Jane Doe.
Benjamin Ryan @ @benryanwriter • 42m
Journalist Michael Tracey is looking to disclose the identity of
Jane Doe, who filed the lawsuit against seven Cornell men,
alleging they gang raped her in a frat house.

The suit names the men but not the plaintiff.

Should Jane Doe's name be made public? Why or why not?

quoting

Michael Tracey 
@mtracey

If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is,
get in touch and I would be happy to publish her

Most historians today argue that the key policies that made possible the US’s economic resurgence under Reagan were mostly initiated by Carter: military buildup, deregulation, taming of inflation, support for the strong $, etc. Reagan’s main policy innovation—tax cuts for the rich—was a net negative

The Naval Academy faculty has been roughly 50% civilian and 50% military since its founding in 1845. I was a Chemistry major (1972) and part of the military faculty as a Chemistry instructor from 1975-1978. Civilian profs were the core and foundation of the department.

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.

Niche skeet. I’m horrified to learn that Senator Schmitt graduated from Jesuit schools at the secondary and post doc level, and proceeded to show the world his whole ass by not double checking his staffer’s work. Saint Iggy is giving him some massive sideeye.

Half of Obama's own party threw a tantrum over his novel "don't do stupid shit" doctrine in relation to Iran. Trump then immediately tore the JCPOA up to little resistance. The next president did next to nothing to try and revive it and instead spent 3 years begging Saudi to be friends with Israel.

Mike Rogers wrote a House Intelligence Committee report which had false information in it about Iranian nuclear power *in 2006*. He was condemned by the IAEA twice. He is now the Republican nominee. Brett McGurk, Biden's top MENA aide, fought against reviving the JCPOA and supports the current war.

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.
