I'm not as worried as I should be about this because the administration is working to shrink the US economy at the same time. Also, and not sarcasticly, economic pressure to decarbonize will continue to drive the energy transition.

Normally I'd recommend against taking your legal sidearm to any kind of political protest, but this latest killing shows it doesn't matter. They didn't murder him until they made sure he was unarmed.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Yes, wind and solar are pretty much like bond investments. Especially if you lock in contracts for the power you produce. Much lower risk, outside of political mischief.

Fossil fuel industry is swimming against the tide. There is little upside potential (and considerable downside) to that sector, so the investment capital is flowing into renewables. Same goes for internal combustion autos, and US auto sector in general.

American Student Ends Up Trapped in Giant Vagina Sculpture Firefighters embarked on an "extraordinary rescue mission" when an American exchange student got his leg trapped inside a giant vagina sculpture.

Is this a "good news" story or a "bad news" story?

It wouldn't be a terrible thing if the US got back into the airline regulation business. I mean focusing on snacks is dumb, but maybe requiring a certain level of service is something we can work on.

Pumpkin pie is objectively bad. I'm pretty sure it was invented as a way to trick children and otherwise sensible people into eating pumpkins.

I easily remembered the year Pope John Paul II was elected--useful for solving the NYT History Quiz--because I remember a friend's dad (Italian) announcing a new Hail Mary prayer: "Hail Mary full of grace. Now the Italians are in second place."
