The Supreme Court may be the least democratic of the three branches, but it is still democratic, and to be effective, must in the long run reflect a general consensus of the law. It’s not that way now. We’re a 50:50 nation, but 6 of the justices were appointed by republicans, including 3 by Trump.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

So, tell me again why we’re closing down the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.

Swear not by the fucking moon.

Holy Shit, Man Walks On Fucking Moon

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. #USForestService

To be fair, many heads of law firms, universities and media corporations were afraid that Trump’s DOJ would release Epstein files showing that they raped underage girls. Do you want people to lose their faith in public institutions?

This interview is a uniquely valuable perspective. Please watch.

A view of the night sky from Mars. (Yes, really)

Nothing is more important to global climate than the temperature of the sea surface. We are currently following the red line, which is far above the long term mean. While no one can predict when you’ll reach a ‘tipping point’ in the climate, the onset would look very much like this.

Mark Zandi : “This is among the best performing economies in my 35+ years as an economist. GDP up 3% over the past year. Unemployment is at 4%. Inflation is fast closing in on Fed’s 2% target - grocery prices, rents and gas prices are flat to down over the past more than a year.” 9/29/24
