I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Star Trek – created by Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) – premiered this evening in 1966 on NBC. The opening (bolstered by Alexander Courage’s magnificent theme) was something to behold in this era. Star Trek managed to hang on for three seasons (79 original episodes) – & became a cultural touchstone.

Twin Temple was on The Daily Show and withstood a thoughtless line of questioning about Satanism from Jordan Klepper. The band's sustained joy spoke volumes, but Jordan seemed unprepared to actually engage with a minority religion--other than "har har, what do Satanists eat for breakfast?"

There is this nice shot in the TNG episode "Lessons" that I love. In this episode Picard faces a situation where someone he is romantically involved is on an away mission and might die. So, without showing Picard distressed, the show does this unique shot to show him vulnerable and small.

As someone who at 17 years old played Young-but-not-Youngest Scrooge (the one who falls in love at Fezziwigg's party and later gets his heart broken) in a local college production of A Christmas Carol in 1992, I am **personally** offended by the idea we don't know Scrooge's origin.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71
Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.

Over his Senate career, Mr. Graham led two influential committees, Judiciary and Budget.

As head of the Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also played a critical role during the 2016 fight over President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the court, aiding in Republicans’ success in blocking the pick.

More broadly, Mr. Graham was instrumental in advancing Mr. Trump’s effort to reshape the federal judiciary.
During his tenure at the helm of the committee, the Senate confirmed more than 200 federal judges, including Ms. Barrett, cementing one of the defining conservative judicial legacies of the Trump era.

As chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr. Graham played a central role in translating Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda into legislation. He oversaw the budget resolution that allowed Republicans to advance much of the president’s sweeping tax, immigration and spending package without support from Senate Democrats.

The effort required months of negotiations among warring factions within his party before the tax package became law last year. Mr. Graham, along with Republican leaders and the Trump administration, embraced budget reconciliation as the party’s primary vehicle for enacting Mr. Trump’s agenda at a time when Republicans lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Those efforts became a defining accomplishment of Mr. Trump’s return to Washington with a Republican-controlled legislature, and highlighted not only the growing influence of Mr. Graham within his party but also his transformation from Trump critic into a steadfast and outspoken ally.

Re-upping the explainer thread for why the Lincoln reflecting pool / bioreactor coating is failing. It evolves a bit as I learn new (to me) info, but the major fail cause is clear: polyurea recoated after the 4h window. Think painting a teflon pan. This new pic nails it. bsky.app/profile/mona...
