I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Texas grows some of the best food in America. Texas kids should be eating it. Let’s put more food from Texas farmers in Texas schools while making sure no child goes hungry.

Welcome to the race, Governor Abbott. To catch you up to speed, I've spent the last year talking to Texans about the issues that matter to them: saving Texas schools and putting money in their pockets. Texans are ready for change this November.

I met a grandmother in Houston. Augusta works 10-hour shifts at the airport, but her wages don’t cover her basic expenses. Now she and her 5-year-old grandson are facing eviction. In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back.

I will lay it out for you nice and simple. The folks trying to stop new housing in Seattle are literally killing people. When ppl don’t have or can’t afford housing, they die. Or could be fast or slow but they die. Period. And these folks are fine with this because they are ecofascists.

Via Altadena climate expert Edgar MacGregor: "Winter is now hotter than spring used to be."
"Fun" little statistic that slipped under the radar:
Winter 2026's coldest month was December with an average temperature of 62.09°F. Not only was that the hottest December on record, as the coolest month of the 2026 winter, it was by far the hottest "coldest month of winter" on record in our area.
Every other winter on record had at least one calendar month with an average temperature of 59.11°F or cooler. We destroyed that record.
Only 4 springs in the first 50 years of the 1900s were warmer than winter 2026. Winter is now hotter than spring used to be.

The obvious question is to ask what is the point of the article. And the answer is means testing. By saying the rich don't deserve public goods it makes it easier to say someone just above the poverty line doesn't either. They want public goods to be shit.
