The two main tendencies in national Israeli politics right now are "expulsion and annexation of the Palestinian territories" vs "civil separation under the authority of an Israeli police state", and virtually all mainstream US commentary simply refuses to engage with this.

this whole thing is madness inducing but the middle paragraph here is the one that made me say "oh we're FUUUUUCKED fucked" out loud
Hill was willing to speak bluntly and on the record. But not every scientist I contacted felt able to do that. I called one Florida scientist who studies sea level rise to fact-check some of the agents' comments, but before we got very far, they asked not to be named. They explained that their current research depends on cooperation from county and municipal governments, which means they have to "tread very carefully" when speaking about real estate development in the
area.
That made sense to Hill. "If we get in the way of developers, their attorneys can go after us through our universities," she said. "It's not uncommonẠỊi
For the most part, she said, silence about climate risk in housing is incentivized. Because if climate risk tanks a property's value, she said,
"everyone's going to be pressuring everyone else not to talk about it."

I’m really trying not to go for cheap heat on here but you can write off any politician that does not support trans rights without equivocating because it’s the morally correct thing to do and additionally because it means they’re not above selling anyone out.

I'm not sure by what precise mechanism this happened, but prior to this week I thought Ed Sheeran was the actor from The Office who hit Dwight with his Prius. It was weird to me that so many people talk about him 'in the culture' but I never examined it. 🤷

When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose

I would pay good money to see any number of left-of-center pundits chained to a chair and forced to address this point at length. Ezra Klein specifically is in the wilderness on this specific aspect of American politics, and it's infuriating.

Frank Lowenstein, senior envoy on Israel-Palestine under the Obama administration, conceded in an article today published in the New Yorker that the two-state paradigm is basically dead and has been for years, rendering the same old rhetoric about supporting a 2SS fantastical without policy changes.

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

The depressing thing about the US isn't Trump really. He's just a grotesque. It's the complete failure of all the things liberals believe in: Congress, the judiciary, the press, voters themselves, all persistently unwilling or unable to stop him. It's the failure of an entire society.

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.
