I'm thinking this through further and there is no difference between deporting people to form a "culturally coherent group of people" and Hitler saying jews could not be aryan.

Caution around Godwin's Law should be dropped. Katie Lam has openly supported nazi ideology.

She said both that integration matters but was very pessimistic about how possible it is after *many* generations

Language of "a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people" conveys a sense that *some* people may remain too visibly different, somehow, to be "culturally coherent"

This man is praying with the pope, which no one in his inbred-ass family has done in FIVE HUNDRED YEARS.

If there is anything the royals are experts in, it's passive-aggressive social dynamics.

He's obviously disgusted by Trump.

The NYT is pissed that Democrats are running against Trumpism.

One example is the fact there is no No Kings coverage on its homepage right now.

Another is this story:

I'm optimistic because the heavy investment in renewables drove the cost of wind and solar down so far that coal can't compete. We'll have a rough couple of decades but we'll avoid the worst-case scenario thanks to simple economics.

I think the story is arguably more about storage than wind and solar. Even ten years ago when I got into the climate space, we weren’t really clear on how we would replace the portable energy density of oil. Now that pathway is extremely clear.
