The thing about solar geoengineering is that there is zero evidence that humankind is currently capable of the sort of global governance needed to deploy it responsibly and ethically, and if it were capable, it probably would not be needed.

“COONY” lol

My raw milk hot take is that it tastes much better and conservatives try to come up with a justification for why it’s good because it tastes good. See also: butter, red meat.

I’m thinking maybe Biden couldn’t have ended it with a phone call.

Image of a young woman getting off the bus from Ohio with dreams of making it big on Broadway. Butterfly meme: "Is this settler colonialism?"

Was Jared Polis busy or something? This seems like the kind of thing he’d step in to prevent.

They’ll always have Kid Rock.

Have they considered the possibility that logistics are hard and the planes may in fact just not fly?

I really, strongly encourage them to act on their most thoughtful impulses and enact this policy with haste. I’m sure it will work out extremely well for them.

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

As a very online lib: I feel like normies are feeling negative because of a nonstop stream of negative content, while I’m feeling negative because we have a wrecking crew stripping the wiring from the building while simultaneously knocking out its load-bearing pillars while we’re all inside.

I highly encourage them to follow through on what will definitely be a very popular policy. There’s no way this could frustrate their own voters at all. GOP voters never use these airports.

I’m sorry, I can’t get out from the under the weight of :: checks notes :: the entirety of Western literature outside of Ayn Rand telling me he’s wrong. It’s too heavy.

When I lived in Korea ~15 years ago, the norm if you got delivery was for the food to be delivered on proper plates / bowls, which when you were done you would put outside your apartment to be picked up by the delivery driver. I recently found out that is no longer the case, very disappointing.

I hugely appreciate that my circuitous career path has allowed me to stumble into flexible load and capacity optimization at just this moment.

We can’t do this in the US because we prioritize expensive jobs for favored groups over cheap energy.

Let me just tap the sign again: What works for them will not work for you. They can say anything they want and get a solid bloc of people to vote for them. You cannot.

Anyone ever play Red Baron as a kid?

Even NIMBY clocks are right twice a day.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Christopher. Judgement day is coming.

wrote about the claim that the D party has abandoned its working class roots. that didn't happen, bec Ds only recently began to fitfully fight for a multi-racial working class. the current D party is the best D party there's been. a low bar, but still. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/this-democ...

I really can’t help people if they can’t see that the extremely limited number of highly differentiated impeachments that have occurred in the country’s short history really don’t tell us anything about future impeachments.

If he can illegally change the Department of Defense to the Department of War we can absolutely rename Trump Station to Al Smith Station the moment he’s out of power.

Woke 2 is going to woke so hard. Deloitte - given their huge federal consulting practice - is huge here. The winds have changed and are at our backs, now we just need to set our sails right.

(Eric Adams visiting fortune teller in 2021): "After I'm mayor, is Albany the next step?" "Something like that"

JD Vance tries to call Trump live on stage at a rally for Viktor Orban in Hungary and he gets sent to voicemail twice.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Q: As of today, who controls the Strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: We expect that the strait will be opened immediately Q: Who controls the strait right now? LEAVITT: *refuses to answer*

Of course he’ll accept bribes because he has absolutely no moral scruples, but the problem with the war was that it was becoming a catastrophe he couldn’t bluster people into treating as brilliant, so instead he switched sides and surrendered and he’s going to try to sell that as brilliant instead

Trump clearly did the reading on rentier states and economic diversification leading to democratization. This was his plan all along.

I’m so tired.

At least we made Kamala Harris feel bad by giving Bibi Netanyahu the American president he wanted. That's what really matters.

Obviously you’ve not been to a place if you’ve only been to the airport, but what about if you take the train through a state? You can spend a long time in a state without ever getting off the train.

The reality is that without international subsidies there are *fewer* spots for domestic students and much less aid. He knows this, of course.

Hot take: Dems should beat this horse until it’s beyond dead.

MLB could never.

That’s not what they’re taking out of the equation - it’s whether your parents were lawful permanent residents. Which makes me assume some of the Indian- and Asian-Americans in the admin probably would no longer qualify as citizens.

I have low expectations but the level of delusion here is unreal. You can’t chicken out if the other party tells you to go fuck yourself. That is not a thing. And why would they say anything else?

All that aside: he murdered the current leader’s father and wife. This isn’t some abstract conflict at this point, it is extremely fucking personal. W invaded Iraq for far, far less, and Trump should live the rest of his days in extremely predictable ignominy for his reckless folly.

I feel like it’s a sign of extreme dysfunction that we have US Senators concerning themselves with any bill for as little as $10 million.

Well well well, if it’s not the consequences of my actions.

This is correct. I think the underlying issue this piece kinda of elides tho is that a bunch of Americans online are convinced that they are communists, when they are actually just libertarians who use leftist rhetoric to rationalize their libertarianism.

The fun part about option 1 is that there’s basically no way it involves remaking the global order in a way that’s beneficial to the United States.

oh my god is it a calf, please tell me its a calf

Here’s the thing: this isn’t even about treaties. The country’s entire leadership was assassinated, and yet the same leadership is still in place. There’s no normalizing to be had here for a long, long time.

It was a glitter bomb.

hey what if instead you called them out for being genuinely unethical and terrible people in a creative and hyperbolic ways that leveraged social media virality and the press' obsession with platforming engagement controversy

Sounds like the GOP is going to light a whole bunch of money on fire.
