2) "Ah but he *said* they would improve the economy." So did Harris. They both said that. If people voted for Trump because he said he would improve the economy, it means they preferentially chose to believe the pathological liar despite all evidence to the contrary.

Story time! Six years ago, my first book, The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking), came out. It was fun to write! I got to share all my cosmology fun facts and dig deep into all the ways the universe might end. I had SO much fun with it, I thought, "maybe I should write another book?" 1/?

100%. "narrative coherence" turns out to be one of those things that it's better to have than not but ultimately isn't a make-or-break thing for your movie being good if its firing on all the other cylinders bsky.app/profile/anim...

my layman's understanding is that in 2026 solar wind and batteries are good enough that opening new plants doesn't really pencil unless we find a way to safely make them much cheaper but if you ever want to spiral, think about the timeline where older ones never closed.

I definitely have become a lot more cosmopolitan chauvinist in a way that I know is sort of problematic, but I just don't see any way around it. If you allow the provincially minded too much autonomy they inevitably regress and start trying to burn witches, they need minding by their betters.

Kennedy is going to have a larger death toll to his name when all is said and done, and those deaths may carry on far longer into the future than Miller's. Miller is Hitler. Kennedy is Pestilence, Horseman of the Apocalypse.

every major academic discipline should have a probably not monthly but like quarterly publication that writes directly and accessibly to a interested and educated but non-academic audience about the most substantively relevant empirical findings in the discipline the past several months.

I'm actually a little shocked how quickly the de minimus ban impacted me. I didn't think of myself as a frequent online shopper outside of Amazon stuff. A friend who's into cologne was telling me about Zoologist and it sounded really cool so I bought some samplers... Well they're in Toronto

Apropos nothing, I was thinking about those responsible for destroying USAID and the lives to be lost with it. I assessed there was no retribution mankind could devise that would equalize it, and it might be evil to try. The need for a theological concept of hell became clear in that moment.

You may think the hatred of Jake Sullivan is irrational but he cut his teeth being Biden's guy working in the second half of the Obama administration on their Syria, Myanmar, and Libya policy so if you remember what happened from 2013-2017 in those places you'll hate him even more
