Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

You just know Steven Miller is absolutely seething right now that the government is closed for Juneteenth. It is the little things that make me happy.

I love that @signal.org is using Microsoft's own DRM copyright API to block Windows from its own stupid new "feature" which takes screenshots of, well, everything and saves them. It's like an intellectual property Jedi mind trick.

There are people I know in the national security community who are terrified that the US government is sleepwalking into a 9/11-level catastrophe. Focusing finite resources on nonsense like this instead of credible threats -- that is the reason they're so worried. www.wsj.com/world/greenl...
