Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Recap: The Non-Adventures of Wonderella has been back after a five-year hiatus. Rita's Wonderella now. Dana caused a global pandemic and got cancelled. Everything else is as dumb as before. I update when I can. First return strip: nonadventures.com/2025/01/02/u...

Comic panel showing a frosted, icy window from inside a cryo-freeze chamber. Through the fogged glass, Dana — a woman with dark hair and a tiara, wearing a green top — waves excitedly with both hands. Speech bubble: 'Good news, Ma!' Second bubble: 'We finally found a cure for your ligma!'"

Panel 2:
"The cryo chamber door bursts open. Titania, an older woman with silver hair, a red spiked tiara, and grey armored superhero costume, dramatically grips the open hatch overhead. She says, 'Don't be silly, darling.' Rita, standing beside her in a green top, replies, 'You know these five-year cryofreezes do wonders on my buccal fat.'"

These are what the clouds on Jupiter look up close. The small patches of white are cloud tops, soaring above the main, colourful cloud layer. Image from NASA's Juno spacecraft during its 38th close approach to Jupiter on 29 November 2021, processed by Kevin Gill (@kevinmgill.bsky.social)

A complex, swirling pattern of lighter and darker clouds. One large system, angled to the upper left in this scene, is a tawny brown colour and is elongate. Another, more circular storm system is at lower centre, and is a grey–greenish colour. The background swirls are various shades of grey to blue; small, white features dot the scene.

A picture of the front of an Amtrak Cascades engine, with a big purple wig, big purple eyes with eyelashes, and a feminine hand with long pink nails, giving the appearance of the front of the train having the face of a glamorous drag queen.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

I think if you care about the welfare of trans people in America you should desperately want to see Democrats in control of the US House and especially the US Senate. I think the profound benefit to trans people should outweigh the frustration of voting for a Democrat you opposed in the primary.

What's happening here has little to do with AI and more to do with structural change in the information sector, which is shedding jobs in legacy industries like telecom, media, and - more recently - motion pictures (covid, strikes, not recovering). The sector is not a good proxy for 'tech' jobs.

I spent a decade as a staff reporter in DC, and have done freelance work for years. Journalism has never been perfect. But to see the abject failure of flagship news outlets to meet even baseline journalistic standards is incredibly demoralizing.

worth tying this into the political economy of the slave south as well. from roughly the 1820s onwards, slavery became enormously lucrative in ways that had never been seen before. slave traders became millionaires. large planters had tremendous purchasing power. just huge amounts of wealth.

Ground- and space-based telescopes have revealed something new at Saturn: a giant, ten-sided structure in the clouds near the planet's south pole. This decagon is almost stationary, extends deep below the cloud tops, and is similar (though not quite the same) as the famous north pole hexagon.

Left: A Hubble Space Telescope view of Saturn; the decagon at high southern latitudes is barely visible as a dark band. Right: A polar projection of those same data, where the dark decagon is clearly visible.

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school. If this country really gave a shit about children, this would be at the top of the public-policy list.
