It’s kind of incredible how little has been published about this guy and how little conservatives seem to care. Did people just forget these people were screeching for civil war when they thought he was a liberal?

Webb breaks its own record by identifying the earliest supernova to date, a star that exploded when the Universe was only 730 million years old.
To astronomers' surprise, this early supernova looks exactly like modern supernovae based on data gathered so far 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Very enjoyable.
This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

We are so far past the point where regular nominations will fix the Court. Thomas and Alito likely will retire and be replaced by 30-something FedSoc judges who will still be on the bench when my undergrads become eligible for Social Security.
Lisa Needham captures all my fears here, including: "We truly have no sense of the lengths the GOP will go to in order to remain in control of the courts." Sotomayor retiring won't fix minority rule or #SCOTUS ethics. Dems must champion term limits & expansion. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
Dems roll the dice with another SCOTUS seat
What could possibly go wrong?

Trump's victory wasn't a landslide by any definition, and you should be skeptical of the political project of anyone who describes it as such.
A 1.5% popular vote win--or as it'd be called anywhere else, a win--will put his margin at #50 among all 55 presidential elections in which the popular vote winner became president.
And his electoral college margin is #43 among all 60 presidential elections.
Not a landslide victory.

"Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president."
He should be so goddamn lucky.

This isn't a partisan or ideological take. The parties are profoundly asymmetric. Doesn't matter if you are a liberal or conservative. It's just true.
