So is the Flippo endgame getting elected, immediately impeached, then replaced by an appointee from the winner of the Governor’s race?

If your bug-out spot is a $170M suburban mansion on a sea-level island in Florida that you share with a bunch of other famously rich people, you're too stupid to be allowed that kind of purchasing power.

This war is Trump and Hegseth’s war. They chose it. Just because it’s happening in and around Iran doesn’t make it theirs.

A J-C headline writers misspelled "should"

First concert I ever went to was the Moody Blues performing with a full orchestra.

Holy shit.

Can I get Garfield minus Garfield, but instead of Garfield it's Odd Lots and instead of Garfield it's Joe Weisenthal?

zero of this is surprising if you've met these people

Friedman may be the best Odd Lots guest yet. Filibustering 20th C history so Joe has almost no time to talk is some sweet icing on the cake.

RELEASE THE BEAVERS

Time for managed retreat. 37 was a poor choice to causeway a wetland in the first place.

Highway 37 sees 40,000 car commuters a day who will get an $11 billion taxpayer gift from Caltrans to elevate the freeway to deal with the climate change caused by the cars. BART sees 200,000 commuters a day who have to fight like hell to raise $3.6 billion just to keep the trains running.

Truly bizarre that someone has been running around poisoning pine trees along the shores of Lake Tahoe for years. www.latimes.com/california/s... via @alex-wigglesworth.bsky.social

100% duh. Billionaires and corporations only cared about harm mitigation messaging when it offered social ROI. Once it was politically neutral to situationally negative they dropped it like a legless metaverse. They have no fundamental morals, everything is positional. Nihilistic.

A study concluded that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. (Published July 2025)

Sicilian espresso granita

Every military leader since antiquity: wars are won by logistics hegseth: you win wars when military look like fitness influencers

If the latest FIRIS perimeter for #WoodsideFire is accurate, this would be one of the stranger fire footprints & trajectories I've seen. Under strong NWly winds parallel to coastline, it appears fire has spotted *over oceanic coves* & into downwind forest...twice!! Whoa.

United Parking Lot, the envy of the world.

Impeach, convict, remove, incarcerate.

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it a modest 10% productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1000% productivity gain." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-...

Chris Hitchens wannabes. Aspirational contrarians.

Just the worst reffing. Totally losing control of a game by not calling obvious fouls? Try overreacting with a red card for an unintentional but hard foul?

The driver that doored Riley didn’t have car insurance, was driving on a suspended license, was parked in a no-parking zone, and opened his door in Riley’s path without looking. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/06/b...

Take it out of the department budget.

it's been five months since the United States has admitted a refugee that is not a white South African

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.” (Published Nov. 2025)

We have people like this in industry- create problems with incompetence or inattention, let them become critical, then demand everyone else recognize and back their herculean efforts to pull things back on track. It's exhausting, toxic, and unfortunately often successful at earning rewards.

Don’t know why reporting on things like this always come together on a Friday, but… Meta is planning large scale job cuts against the backdrop of AI spending / capacity. Exclusive: Meta planning sweeping layoffs as AI costs mount - www.reuters.com/business/wor...

Now do IID!

Kessler cascade anyone?

Much less sunlight is reflected back to space by air pollution, clouds (from a reduction in aerosol cloud interactions and cloud feedbacks from warming), and by decreasing snow and ice cover. The 4-year average Absorbed Solar Radiation level increased by almost 2 W/m²!

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

what the fuck man

Basically what Mom & Dad said 👇🏾

it's more that, despite "gigawatts of capacity" being discussed regularly, I am finding it difficult to find more than two examples of AI data centers over 100MW of capacity. Even Colossus 1 doesn't seem to be fully energized? bsky.app/profile/ianv...

Adding 20 years to the mortgage schedule adds the full borrowed amount in interest- instead of paying 2x the borrowed amount over 30 years, you'd pay 3x over 50, and pay essentially nothing toward principal for the entire first decade.

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man, but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

This is cool, 6 million year old ice from Antartica with inferred temperature ~12°C warmer than the late Pleistocene. No CO2 level yet! (That will be highly anticipated!) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Management response to “AI” is a litmus test for whether they view their employees as a value or cost center of their business.
