Is anyone out there upset by the bread and circuses moon mission? We have long since taken the pictures. Chinese have long ago collected the rocks. Americans are so easily misled. 🧪

Your government at work from NYT: Secretary of State Marco Rubio waded into the surprisingly fraught politics of typefaces on Tuesday with an order halting the State Department’s official use of Calibri, reversing a 2023 Biden-era directive that Mr. Rubio called a “wasteful” sop to diversity.

🧪 from NYT interview with chevron CEO taking NO responsibility for climate change “Human activity is a contributor to climate change. We supply energy that is used. If humans did not consume energy or consume oil and gas, we wouldn’t be in business.” Cannot see beyond his wallet!! Outrageous!

Time to (re)read “The Sirens of Titan” by Vonnegut. He anticipated Musk by 65 years. Has him abducted by aliens and sent to Mars and turned into a robot. If only!

🧪NYT reports that three oil industry toadies to replace 100’s of real scientists.  "Roy Spencer, has argued that while human activity has caused some warming, its influence has been smaller than that of natural variations in global cloud cover.”   Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?
