Matt Yglesias has been a morally bankrupt hack since he was a cheerleader for the invasion of Iraq as a college student. The fact that I still have to hear about his opinions more than two decades later is as a damning indictment of our information environment as I can imagine.
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

The Greeks had a word for this refusal to learn, even when the truth is right in front of you: Amathia. It doesn’t simply mean ignorance. It is a mix of intellectual stubbornness, moral blindness, and a kind of cultivated unteachability.

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience.

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

It just goes to show you that STEM isn’t enough to shape a person. You need practice in critical thinking from the humanities. These tech bros pushing AI, even people with engineering degrees get under its sway from their groupthink. But we can clearly apply the actual evidence of what AI is doing.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Cancer is the number one line of duty cause of death for firefighters. Not structure collapse, not widow(er)-maker limbs, not even vehicle rollover. Cancer.
Preventing more of those cancers will be even better, but more substantial support and compensation is a big step forward.

It is an incredible and under appreciated labor story how far firefighters - structure and wildland in common cause - have made the long term health question unignorable. Fighting fire causes cancer. This is just the latest win they’ve chalked up. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/politics-gov...
