Fish are so delightfully weird. We study the evolutionary genetics and ecology of freshwater fishes, plus a few more things, at Northern Michigan University

The ecosystem services component is clearly too complex for Yglesias when the goal is dumbed down trolling, but breathable air and drinkable water ARE material prosperity. People literally pay to improve their access to them.
Literally just lectured about this!
In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

Those are definitely some words. Even if it were true (it's not), how is this an argument to elect Sand? What is this saying that he'd do to change that system (especially as a governor)? What does this type of communication even accomplish?
Plenty of politicians want you to think the government shutdown is entirely the fault of the other party.
I think it’s the fault of a system that gives too much of an incentive to fight each other rather than to serve all of us.

with the end of the shutdown looming, here's my look for @wired.com into what life has been like for EPA employees over the past five weeks: little to no heads up about who was getting furloughed next, important projects getting put on the back burner while deregulation moves forward:
The EPA Is in Chaos
“We learn who is furloughed when we send an email to someone and get the out-of-office message,” one employee tells WIRED.

This! The extent to which people don’t actually enjoy thinking has been eye opening.
That’s before I reckon with the ethics of using a thing for ghost efficiency that is pretty societally devastating.
And on a final personal note, I don’t want to become stupid before my time. I really don’t. I will keep mucking about so that I can keep mucking about, for as long as possible.

The doc about this, Shut Up and Sing, is great. Heroes
people have completely memory holed this which is a shame because I don't know that I've seen anything like it before or since. Natalie Maines, performing in London, said she was ashamed that George W. Bush was from Texas, and in response she and her bandmates had their lives destroyed
In my second of two opinion writing seminars for MPP students today, I was asked about getting canceled in the future over writing today. I immediately responded with my deeply held belief that only The Chicks ever have been canceled. 3 of the 65 people laughed; everyone else was very confused.
