How does this apply to his parallel analysis of Frederick Douglass's take on racism? Do you think Bouie and Douglass consider Black people a group not worthy of having dignity on its own? www.nytimes.com/2023/02/10/o...

I read this, by Bouie, as supporting trans people and trans rights. YMMV, of course.

Someone ought to remind the WSJ that linking bullseye campaign rhetoric to attempted assassinations is a libelous "bogus" "smear." www.wsj.com/articles/sar...

And Rockwell knew that side our our culture deeply.

A useful historical perspective on political violence, from NY TImes in 1969 "violence was deeply ingrained in the American tradition and ... virtually every group had used it for protection or to gain an end. ... [It's] the proven American formula for getting things done."

Wernher von Braun was Hitler's favorite rocket scientist, a Nazi, and a member of the SS. He was also the director of NASA's manned space flight program. Did his close and enthusiastic association with Hitler and Nazis mean his rocket science was invalid?

And Shakespeare was one of Hitler's favorite authors. www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

Grocery shopping when you live on top of a hill is something where electric bikes really shine.

He also posted an image of Biden being kidnapped and hog tied in the bed of a pickup truck.

Percent of final energy use that comes from electricity (see the top right chart on the figure below). rmi.org/insight/x-ch...

I dunno about wages outpacing inflation. According to the Federal Reserve, real weekly wages for full-time workers are $365, which is less than when Trump left office ($376). fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1pQMw

Vanderbilt's disciplining an employee for wearing a Keffiyeh at work. My gender presentation is at least as political as a Keffiyeh, so does that mean that the university's policy of "prinicpled neutrality" calls for my erasure? x.com/VanderbiltU/...

U.S. Senate Committee finds Vanderbilt University Medical Center failed to protect its #trans patients' #privacy rights when it handed their complete medical records over to the state Attorney General. wpln.org/post/u-s-sen...

Ironically, Taibbi's takedown of Friedman leaned heavily on mocking Friedman for piling layer upon layer of clumsy metaphors.

And here is what we can look forward to under Trump www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Also, for Scope 2, they say they use market-based grid figures, and do not reduce this with "offsets", PPAs, RECs, etc.

No. The revised 2022 total scope 3 emissions in the 2023 report is 327,162 (a 15% reduction).

Excellent UPSAHL show at Exit In. Very tight and high energy

I will give a shout-out to my brilliant former student @kelseabest.bsky.social who's done a lot of good work quantfying inequities in vulnerability and adaptaiton along the Atlantic coast. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Thanks for setting me straight on the history. This was the key bit. It sounds just like the autogynephilia crap, even though it was a decade before the term was coined.

I often think of the Mora et al. Climate Departure paper: Under RCP 4.5, the coolest year after 2047 is likely to be hotter than the hottest year from 1860-2005. doi.org/10.1038/natu...

This photo illustrates what seems a very positive step with regard to both problems.
