There seems to be a lot of chatter of the sort "I can see this Democratic candidate as presidential b/c they are pushing back on Trump and they look presidential while they do it." How about picking a prez also based on but how they run the exec branch, their agenda, their leadership, their smarts?

Oh, Archipelago, go, gone. How does one write beautiful protest music? How we need it these days, a soundtrack for how to notice and reject the bad but cherish the good. The British band Elbow did this with grace, post Brexit. Give it a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCXW...

Here's a tech tip for the techbros looking to install data centers with tax breaks. Just build in a useless expensive football field with luxury boxes as part of the project and there will be plenty of brainless city governments who will cater to you.

Global warming is real, but this is a phenomena whose manifestation is best understood by metrics that integrate over time and space; shrinking ice sheets, sea level rise, perpetual drought. But there's still a lot of natural variability, so don't whine if it's occasionally hot.

1. Trump shouldn't have abandoned Obama's agreement to monitor nuclear development in Iran. 2. They weren't close to nukes so he shouldn't have started a war. 3. He should never, ever threatened their annihilation. 4. A temporary ceasefire doesn't make me forget 1-3.

One of the enjoyable aspects of Pam Bondi's firing is that all the miserable little toadies left in the administration now know that there's no payback for loyalty to Trump. So, watch them stab each other and start leaking to the press.

A guide to social media. To first-order accuracy, posts about when someone said something aren't really news. Look for what people did; that's news. I wish there was a filter for that here.

I hope to see some polls out in the next few days on presidential popularity, which I expect goes even lower. I don't think this changes Trump's (closed) mind, but it might lead R's in Congress/Senate to be more open to voting down War Powers.

I check a number of web sites (NY Times, Atlantic, Guardian, BlueSky feed, Daily Kos, etc.) in search of real news. The ratio of opinion to real news and analysis is astronomically high. If anyone has suggestions for this scientists on where to look for truly novel information, please do share.
