Colbert is so good
🐱😈 Oops... I shared. 😼
Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico
Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social
It'll make Carr mad

According to Wired, ICE has leased space in Southfield, Mi. The feds are being all hush hush about it. Maybe we should throw a welcome party for them, complete with whistles.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

“All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.”

Great thread on the science of tear gas.
Not so fun fact: Tear gas isn’t a “gas”
If it’s not a gas, then what is it?
Answer: it’s an aerosol. And this distinction matters.

Isostatic rebound from the end of the Ice Age will cause Lake Superior waters to rise by 9.2" and 4.8" per century at Duluth and Marquette, respectively, with falls of 11.4"/century at the NE end of the lake. A repeat of Duluth's costly Jun 21 storm (archive.is/G0eTK) will be costlier in the future.
