Argentina first?

Don't you think it's weird that Wright knows we need climate heroes? I mean, think about what that implies about his morals, since he's acting to crush renewables and strong arm the expansion of fossil fuels — "natural gas" definitely included. Pretty sociopathic, I would say.

incredible what a performative drama queen the vice president is

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk - yeah, & people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths... it already is costing lives"

One of the most interesting things about Jimmy Kimmel, and what I loved most about his conversation with Bill Burr a few months back, was that they’re both middle-aged white comedians who heard how culture has evolved, took notes, grew up, didn’t get defensive, and became *even more* successful.

This would be the greatest FAFO in history www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot. Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

Here are my top 10 dog sneezes!

I’m excerpting the last paragraph because it lacks such self-awareness on the part of Stephens, who writes the most anodyne, boring, and regime approved claptrap of any of the NYT’s columnists. He really thinks he’s some truth teller when he’s just a center-right hack.

The insistence on arguing about “both sides” while our country descends into fascism is a real choice.

This is incredible work here from @debunk-the-funk.bsky.social. Speaking facts straight to Steve Kirsch and Pierre Kory’s faces. youtu.be/-9o6Hdd6sEM?...

Brendan Carr did not “make a joke on social media,” he went on a podcast and said ABC had to take action against Kimmel or the FCC would revoke licenses! We all saw it! Ted Cruz quoted it on HIS podcast in a silly mafia accent!

The 1st amendment guarantees that the GOVERNMENT will do nothing to impinge upon your freedom of speech. A company not allowing you to use their product b/c you violated their terms of service in NOT a violation of 1a. A POTUS using the DOJ & FCC to threaten his critics into silence IS.

Okay I have read the latest Bret Stephens missive and it makes the list of his top-10 most-phoned-in columns. It's just a long airing of grievances. Eleven of the 16 paragraphs are devoted to past instances where progressives weren't staunch-enough advocates of free speech (by conservatives).

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

BREAKING A federal judge found it "appears ... that multiple employees of the Department of Justice may have violated" local rules in SDNY guaranteeing Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial. Full order here storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NPR trying to fix it

Just today Google caved on moderation to Jim Jordan in the most craven possible way www.theverge.com/policy/78423...

The broadcasters here will do what the social platforms never had the courage to do - loudly state that they can make whatever programming decisions they want and the gov should stay out of it. This is because they are not also defense contractors :(

“Strays?” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

They also need an advisor in charge of making it less unremittingly terrible.

Yes this is as strange and alarming as you think it is: www.wsj.com/tech/peter-t...

I wrote about the Trump administration’s false claims about Tylenol, and the moral—not scientific—burdens they place on pregnant women’s bodies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Historians will one day listen to his speeches and wonder how he wasn't immediately slapped into a straitjacket and trundled off to an asylum. Actually, I suspect a lot of historians wonder about that right now. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2... www.youtube.com/shorts/pTHXx...

How about we not compliment people like Joe Rogan who spew the most gut bucket, fascistic, antisemitic conspiracy theories out there while “defending” free speech? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/a...

I will never forgive the media for dangerously normalizing anything RFK Jr and his band of idiots say. Never.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

This is Jade. She just met the biggest dogs she's ever seen. But quickly learned they have the biggest hearts too. 13/10 for all (TT: catimtins.pscal)

Are we trying to appease white supremacists now?!

@jgkoomey.bsky.social Is this you?! bsky.app/profile/wire...

Namek's manifesto!

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to invest in wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables (unless on-site). But what critics conveniently forget is the huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Wickett, Texas. 👇

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

Oh, wow…this is the most brutal expose of right-leaning academics like Dawkins & Krauss & Coyne -- 4 hours of cruel (but deserved) vivisection of their views. I enjoyed it, but felt like a real barbarian for cheering Shaun on. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2... www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyU5...

Media cannot honestly report facts if it is trying to cater to the political Right and appeal to the right-wing base. Because the Right has been so deeply propagandized that its worldview is fundamentally detached from reality. This has been my PSA.

This is how to frame the school choice debate. Brilliant! www.youtube.com/shorts/abaRZ...

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

It does appear Americans interpret all statistics to mean either 0 or 100

Ezra Klein has just become a loathsome character youtu.be/YVn0jNxz_cE?...

During trump’s speech, he’s so real

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

Let’s hurry up and get it over with so the rest of us normal folk can live in peace.

Bhattacharya, Makary, RFK jr, and Oz lined up with Trump to declare that they had found the cause of autism. They are all incompetent liars and frauds. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

I think this pod episode has the highest level I've ever encountered of "things that have literally come out of my mouth in the last few days." Highly recommended.

RFK Jr. has killed 2 infants:

Disney fired and unfired Jimmy Kimmel the right way. by Ezra Klein
