I care about the burning dumpster 🔥 that is American politics. WARNING ⚠️: I am just as likely to post hot political takes as I am my favorite Vtubers newest clip that may cause cringe damage to the uninitiated.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

I'd like to make it clear, although the list is unranked, they called and told me that I'm #1. They said there's nobody more important than me in any list they've ever made. They said, "You won the TIME100 lists" then called the astronaut on the list a coward. Little much but I can't control them.

my read on the Trump promise is that it’s running into two separate and contradictory types of backlash at the same time: 1. people don’t believe he’ll actually give them money 2. people believe that ‘undeserving’ recipients will get money

Commentary: To claim Morales’s (objectively mainstream) criticism of Israel is somehow antisemitic amplifies the antisemitic trope conflating American Jews with Israel.

Tellus has a long, storied history. I submitted my first paper there 30 years ago for that reason. I'm excited about Tellus's rebirth and plan to submit my next paper on the Arctic Ocean carbon cycle there. In the age of money-grubbing publishers, I encourage you to consider Tellus.
Publication Fees
Starting in 2026, Tellus operates as a Diamond Open Access journal.
All articles are published Open Access with no fees for authors — no submission charges and no article processing charges (APCs).
This model is made possible through financial support from the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL), the International Meteorological Institute (IMI), and the Bolin Centre for Climate Research, which together cover the journal's publication costs.

I guess he doesn't realize the rebuilding isn't the hard part, the "preventing you're enemy from blowing up your 5 billion in infrastructure with a drone that costs as much as a Honda Civic" is the hard part, and not one he is currently capable of doing.

trump & co have hit the accelerator towards the end of the US as a superpower i think mainly because they believe in their own propaganda. you're meant to bluster about iran, but actually know your military couldn't take them if they stood up to you. trump is too one-dimensional for that sorta thing
