I used to have a website. Principle of Charity. This isn’t a good venue for argumentation. Not the time for doomism. S—-lib, normie, v cringey. And you can believe me, because I never lie. And I’m always right.

Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

How do we encourage folks on the MAGA bubble, or just soft-devoted to Trump, to take that next step away? How do you tell folks, you've been lied to the whole time? That we've been right all along; seats available on this bandwagon. What is the permission environment? It's not all at once.

A new study shows that organic farming has a significantly higher carbon footprint than conventional beef production. Read the first story of my Editorial Fellowship with @sentientmedia.org here: sentientmedia.org/organic-beef.... Thanks to @jennysplitter.bsky.social for the edits :-)

Organic Beef Has a Larger Carbon Footprint Than Feedlot Beef
But no matter the way it’s raised, beef comes with a steep climate cost.

Tellus has a long, storied history. I submitted my first paper there 30 years ago for that reason. I'm excited about Tellus's rebirth and plan to submit my next paper on the Arctic Ocean carbon cycle there. In the age of money-grubbing publishers, I encourage you to consider Tellus.
Publication Fees
Starting in 2026, Tellus operates as a Diamond Open Access journal.
All articles are published Open Access with no fees for authors — no submission charges and no article processing charges (APCs).
This model is made possible through financial support from the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL), the International Meteorological Institute (IMI), and the Bolin Centre for Climate Research, which together cover the journal's publication costs.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

I keep telling people about how the Christian "Left Behind" books, literal fantasies about the apocalypse, were super, super popular in the late 90s/ early 2000s. I used to read them. Major disasters, while terrible, were also framed by evangelical churches as titillating...sexy almost.

There is … something to this. Republicans are at physical risk, receive death threats etc if they cross Trump. So yes, they will offload that risk onto Democrats; whoever’s left of the GOP will happily pile on to redirect the threat. This is high school bullying; it’s today’s USA.

I saw one suggestion that the Dems should impeach anyone they can, just not him. That way, they can say it’s the corruption and the illegality of his staff that they’re after, knowing that convicting that clown is not probable. They can still point out it’s HIS guys that are criminals.

PIcture, if you will, a "public square" with millions of people; people crowding and jostling. Forming small groups where they exchange overheated, half-coherent opinions. Overheard by others who push their way into one group or another and give their own aggressive takes, with a side of spittle.

But in defense of pre-emptive blocking: This person had a heuristic for “we’re not going to get along”, and they were probably right! We should all block more. Curate your circles, keep badness out of your feed and prevent its spread! It’s downright desirable.

Please consider religion-itself — for better and worse —as a fundamental motivator for political belief. This kind of belief is not class conflict; it’s not simply racism (though it contains it); it’s not merely prejudices shoe-horned into religion (though that‘s how it’s expressed politically).
