We are about to go through some VERY intense heat, and the gas price roller coaster is stressing people the hell out. If you cant make the case for clean, reliable, safe energy now you are a coward and a loser.

From me: The return of the New World screwworm to America for the first time since 1966 is a reminder that government actually does important things, no matter how much its functions are demonized by know-nothings. prospect.org/2026/06/09/w...

The domestic return of the New World screwworm, a parasite that can devastate cattle herds, happened while the Trump administration was focused on dismantling government.

Economic reporting is horrible, which is why I have been trashing it for three decades. That has to do with who owns the media. That should be a huge issue, but for some reason few people can be bothered to think about it.

That was a fun, light-hearted romp. If you actually enjoy #starwars, go see The Mandalorian and Grogu. Solid 4 of 5 for me. Fun action, fast-paced, enjoyable humor.

Black text on white page that reads: 

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. 

We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else. 

No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.

In his statement, Mr. Rosenbaum said that if the episode “serves as a warning about the risks of A.I.-assisted research and verification, that is why I wrote the book.”

“These A.I. errors do not, in fact, diminish the larger questions that the book raises about truth, trust and A.I. and its impact on society, democracy and editorial,” he added.

Everything feels like a grift or scam these days because our economy offers more monetary incentives to grifters and scammers than to honest businesses or creators. Nothing is going to feel better or improve until this changes.
