This is also the subtext of Musk asking for more money for X from banks, and his attempt to buy OpenAI: "I'd hate for something to happen to all the regulatory approvals you need." He's going to use his influence in the government as leverage to loot public companies. It's oligarchy.

Nor is the history of fanatics half so striking in respect to the measureless self-deception of the fanatic himself

Similarly: Obama's climate 'all of the above' embrace of fracking generated almost all the money behind Red States' attacks on the Biden legislation and executive actions. There's no Ken Paxton without shale drilling.

Hope no one needs to know what damage federal projects will have on the climate or local environment, because now you won't.

I continue to think the basic inability of Democrats and progressives to regain control of the story is this: Congressional Democrats hate their base and see them as annoying. Congressional Republicans love their base and see them as a source of power.

Look at these fucking clowns. They think little kids who care about climate change are a bigger threat to global democracy than the richest person in the history of money.

Worth reading a Shell employee's framing of their new scenarios that they put out. Gels with many of their previous reports: they are fatalists, through and through. They want to present fossil fuels as essentially inevitable: there is no action that can be taken to prevent the future they lay out

the point of this is that it is stupid as fuck. and every Republican will still vote for it. the rank stupidity is a flex, an exultation of their absolute power over the party.

One thing you should know about me: You can never ever convince me to turn against my queer friends and family. I will cut off my hand before I ever support policies that make it harder for queer kids or adults to be their full selves.

Why even bother with tanks or armed forces for your coup if the opposition party can be turned away by a single private security guard?

This is just a Security Guard. He has no power. Just walk past him.

Want to know why the right is always able to push the conversation in their direction? Because their members of Congress do not hate their base in the way Democrats do. If Progressives had Reps who amplified their demands rather than whining, they could move stories into the mainstream much faster.

Huge: The Army Corps of Engineers has confirmed to me that it has halted evaluations for pending permit actions related to renewables. The most confusing part? Its unclear why, and the EO they cited in their statement to me doesn't even mention renewable energy. heatmap.news/sparks/army-...

You know what happens when you don't impeach or prosecute people for crimes in office? They go on to commit more crimes in office. This disaster is only possible because of the Biden/Pelosi/Schumer consensus to not prosecute Trump either in the media or courts.

Hello Bluesky! I have written a ~2000 word story about social media managers & brand Twitter accounts, why is everyone still posting, etc. The outlet I wrote it for asked that I either not touch the Nazi stuff or try to pitch it elsewhere, so it's looking for a new home. [email protected] for info
