Welp, looks like Europe is staying the course on that whole "liberal democracies working together thing." I think we're getting the "bye Felicia." I can't blame them. Hopefully, we can prepare some flowers and chocolates and ask her back in a few years. Heck, even a booty call and see how it goes?

The Trump administration is simultaneously stopping action and research on climate while also claiming a heating planet makes the acquisition of Greenland a more pressing issue because new Arctic shipping lanes for Russia and China are opening in the melting ice. So is it a real threat or not?

If a heavy metal anthem is the soundtrack to storming the gates, then this plays alongside the assassin as she slinks up the tower stairwell on the way to depose the king. This is a jaw-dropping modern masterpiece and a scary-good performance. Play it like metal.

Jack Smith's testimony has been released. Cued up in his statement (9:35-10:30) Smith says:
"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

OK, so that's it now. 2026 is officially open season on unfair gerrymandering. Open the gates. Law of the jungle. My fellow Dems will now also increase unfairness in order to defend from the onslaught of GOP unfairness. It did not have to be this way. I'd rather it wasn't.

Before it is forgotten to revisionist history, I want to share this hour-and-a-half synopsis video of the January 6th hearings. It is damning in a deep and comprehensive way, especially considering the majority of witnesses giving testimony are dyed-in-the-wool conservatives.

Understand, this is not about some free-market philosophical purity for non-planet-heating energy. This is now about a purposeful targeting of non-planet-heating energy. It is an attempted assassination of the great energy transition and our attempt to curb the rise of global warming.

I’m very sad to find out Bill Moyers has died. His work touched my life deeply over the decades. From his universe-framing interviews with Joseph Campbell to his, um, universe-framing interviews with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. This one hits me.
