Turned on my TV and Sex and the City was on. Haven’t watched this show in forever and while Carrie was always insufferable, of course it was the episode where she somehow guilts Charlotte into paying for the down payment for her apartment. God what was in the air that this show was so popular

@emorwee.bsky.social’s climate newsletter is great. In this one she addressed each of Chris Wright’s misleading claims about climate change and while they’re wrong—with citations! And an appearance from @michaelemann.bsky.social

It is raining and I now have no power. And I am a weirdo who rereads an Agatha Christie book every blackout. Entertaining and short

No offense intended to MLK, Jr., but the arc of the moral universe does not in fact bend toward justice. Perhaps that wasn’t his intention, but to me that makes it sound like it is inevitable. Nothing is predetermined, good or bad. We are the architects of our own fate.

This reminds me a bit of something @mmasnick.bsky.social has written a bit about. When discussing free speech and Twitter, Musk said he would defer to local laws. I fear the narrative DOGE is creating and his history means Musk will capitulate to authoritarian countries and put people in danger
