Not enough people read those, or the executive summary, or even the popular media version of it. Handling things would be a lot easier if they did, assuming we would get to the current state in the first place.

Peter Thiel and Alexander Dugin look like opposites - a US techno-oligarch and a Russian fascist ideologue. Both borrow, however, the same theology of the katechon and the Antichrist. My new essay, "Antichrists and Empires", on where their doctrines clash - and eventually converge: buff.ly/ib9xVDa
All the projections I've ever worked with predicted an acceleration in the rate of global warming if we continued to increase our emissions. The fact that so many people are shocked about this honestly surprises me. I guess no one ever reads things like the IPCC or National Climate Assessment 🤷♀️
Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE
Palantir funnels earnings to US to avoid European taxes, report finds
A new study finds that Palantir, which boasts of high profit margins in the U.S., barely scrapes a margin in Europe, which helps slash its tax bill.

Fetterman has a problem with forming coherent sentences that respond to answering anything close to the questions posed to him. Very sad he’s being paid by taxpayers.

I've previously done 2026 and 2027 global temperature estimates for the Earth's surface, but a lot of people also seem interested in what will happen in the lower troposphere (TLT). Historically TLT has had a much bigger response to El Niño and La Niña than we see on the surface:
Okay! So hello. My name is Allison Gill. For the last 9 years, you’ve known me as Mueller, She Wrote. I used to have to be anonymous. But not anymore. So, hello world!
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoChanged my name from Mueller, She Wrote to my actual name, Allison Gill. Hoping I can get my blue check back. @joshpetri.bsky.team can you help?
The biggest cost Trump is imposing on us is the cost of doing nothing about three worsening crises that threaten the very survival of America and the world: climate change, AI, and widening inequality.

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
You should play the rest of this clip that shows his caddie going down to the green and dropping a new ball about 4 feet from the hole. It’s a metaphor for Trump’s entire life.
This Film often has the piss taken out of it for being a rather sedentary piece about 2 people just talking a lot — BUT — it has one of the most brilliantly prescient monologues in the history of Movies imho. MY DINNER WITH ANDRE (1981) Have a listen.
Russia is increasing military recruitment tactics, including street detentions and document checks, to bolster army ranks as voluntary enlistment slows and front-line momentum falters. www.wsj.com/world/russia...
Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
Mike Pompeo: We lost deterrence against Vladimir Putin, and he has now killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians. That’s intolerable for President Biden to have permitted that to happen, and before him for President Obama to have allowed Putin to take Crimea.
The most corrupt, unethical AG in the US history will now take office after a sham deal with retiring Republican senators. Now this lawless DOJ will run amok with Trump’s criminal defense attorney carrying out his retribution tour against the innocent while the guilty go free.

The difference between "There used to be hot summers too."
Ex Trump Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews: "Advisors were telling him he lost. I think Trump has always been a broken man, but losing in 2020 fair & square to Biden permanently broke his brain… He's the weakest, most thin-skinned baby of all time."
