Even if you're well acclimatized to the wild climate of Texas there is always the possibility of a fresh hell. Today's? A home invasion of red fire ants. Yes, IN the home. Biting everyone + everything in their path. Kitchen, bedroom, and a river of them down the hall. Inside the house.

Myths around heat pumps are widespread. Not because they are true but because they are deliberately spread by bad faith actors. Thanks to the Economist for this article and for quoting my @carbonbrief.org heat pump myth buster. www.economist.com/europe/2024/...

The New York Times and glossy profiles of Nazis- name a more enduring relationship
"Their rhetoric can sound expansive to the point of opacity. 'As the great men of the West bequeathed their deeds to us, so must we leave a legacy for our children,' the group’s website proclaims." Yeah, um... ...that's only opaque if you don't know what the Fourteen Words are

This is Stephen Miller's law firm. They're also currently repping a TV reporter suing CBS-LA for being anti-white, which as a former CBS-LA reporter I think is absolutely laughable. But they're trying to create still more legal precedent for a racist takeover, it's clear
The Northwestern lawsuit is an example of the White gaze in action: “White gaze is the operational norm of White space wherein Black people are scrutinized through the lens of Whiteness, resulting in their exclusion, subordination, and objectification.” www.reuters.com/legal/legali...
Northwestern law school sued for discrimination against white men in faculty hiringwww.reuters.com A conservative group on Tuesday sued Northwestern University, claiming its law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring and in the selection of articles that appear in its flagship law review.

The fact that American workers are doing well by historic standards does not have to tie us in knots. Yes they are doing well, and also they would be doing a lot better if the rich weren't skimming off a significant portion of the working class's wealth. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/we-have-a-...

My biggest piece of writing advice is figure out when you can actually write. It's really uncommon to have a brain that can write just whenever. What are your core hours? Figure those out and don't torture yourself by trying to be productive outside of them.
On the writing advice stuff, I said the same thing a week or two ago, because it's my constant refrain, but you must read. Read constantly, and widely. Read aggressively, hungrily. And take notes. Collect words, phrases, images, ideas. You won't know what they're for until later.

In 1959, Mom and Dale became the opening dance act at the resort hotel, Mount Airy Lodge, in the Poconos. Dale was the social director, and Mom taught dancing to guests. The lodge was a cluster of eight hundred rooms on 1,200 acres in the Sixties.

STORY OF THE YEAR. Conservative J6 political prisoners being tortured in USA. This used to happen in Soviet Union . If this man was black radical communist it would be #1 story in mainstream media. Al Sharpton would be screaming "racism" "slavery" & "murder."

every weird political decision that comes out of NYC is because the cops yelled at someone
UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks. This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

The courts have given media a freebie to start using basic words for Donald Trump and assume basic facts are in evidence. When you don't see that, you're seeing a choice.
How Not to Report on Donald Trump - Truthdigwww.truthdig.com A.G. “Dash” Sulzberger’s Silicon Valley-inflected skepticism and open-debate pieties are a recipe for dangerously irresponsible journalism by omission.
