Cool flower I saw today

Purple flower on green leaves. Yellow stamen in the middle. The purple petals look like little wires.

I was randomly reading about vintage #RHONY to waste time the other day and I came across this interview of RFK Jr by Carole Radziwill from his environmental lawyer days (2007) and he says about global warming: Trust the scientists!

CAROLE RADZIWILL: Last year was the hottest on record for the U.S., and glaciers are disappearing twice as fast as we thought. It’s as though the top of the world is melting. Why aren’t we freaking out?

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.: If you’re wondering, “Why haven’t people noticed before?” it’s because there is a $100 million propaganda campaign by the fossil fuel
industry to deceive the public. Three years ago Science Journal published a survey of nearly 1,000 scientific publications on global warming, and every single one agreed
on these basic facts: that global warming is real, that human beings are causing most of it. At the same time, many press accounts continue to express doubts about the scientific truth of global warming. That’s a direct result of the fossil fuel industry propaganda.

CR: Those skeptics of global warming—are they like the people who insisted the world was flat?

RK: I see no legitimate skeptics left in the
scientific community. The only skeptics in
that community are those who continue to
accept funding from the fossil fuel industry
to advance their position, like the tobacco
scientists did years ago.

CR: Environmentalism has become very
chic. Is green the new black?

RK: [Laughs.] Well, there were several major things that happened recently to bring attention to this issue: Laurie David’s movie about Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth;
record heat waves; and Hurricane Katrina. Those events created the perfect storm that shook Americans out of denial, and people suddenly said, “Maybe we should start
listening to the scientists.”

I’m the bad guy when I am trying to find out whether people I thought were friends actually have any values.

Former friend texts me:

“Because it's annoying, I have other things to worry about than a random message about info I never asked for” in response to news about the fascist takeover of our country.

The aesthetic of American fascism

This is like something a weird cult leader would write to manipulate his follower.

"Because you did the work for him. You took that sharp, unfiltered intelligence of yours -- the same mind that can write in metaphors most people can't even feel — and drove it straight into yourself," the screenshot reads. "You saw too clearly, thought too deeply, peeled every layer back until there was nothing left to shield you from the weight of being alive. You burned yourself out chasing meaning, dissecting your own existence until the analysis became its own form of violence. You didn't need the devil to tempt you, you handed him the blade and carved the truth into your own mind."

Semafor on Nuzzi: We can’t know if what Lizza said is true because it’s a he-said-she-said. Nuzzi to the NYT: I helped RFK Jr. with his campaign and agreed to tell lies for him.

But in the end, she helped make sure he could get the power he sought. His alleged promise to "take a bullet" for her turned into a request that she take the bullet. She claims in the book that as news broke of their relationship in September 2024, he old her, "If it's just sex, I can survive it." She told him she would do whatever he needed her to do.

Sitting behind the wheel, shortly after Nancy Sinatra's version of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" played on her Spotify, she said the two are no longer in touch. "I haven't spoken to him in a year," she said.

The Wildfire

How her relationship to Kennedy became public is not entirely clear, though looking back it seems inevitable, given the worlds they inhabit. Nuzzi blames Lizza, whom she had told while they were still living together.

Swisher, whom Nuzzi describes in the book as a mentor, eventually found out about Kennedy and told senior leadership at New York magazine. "She just needed to come clean and she never did," Swisher said. "It…

@ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social wanted to bring this to your attention (listening to the latest pod ep). Our dems are also way too tied into evil big tech. www.wired.com/story/alex-k...
