  1. "the buildout of liquified natural gas infrastructure in the United States is by far the largest example of fossil-fuel expansion currently proposed anywhere in the world... [the best possible] life cycle of L.N.G. -- from the fracking wells, to the pipelines, the liquefaction stations, the ships, and the final combustion-- are twenty-four per cent worse than those caused by digging up and burning an equivalent amount of coal."

  5. Texas is 'replacing' lost gas tax revenue for EVs with a $200 fine on them. The state has a 20 cent gas tax, so the fine equals the tax on 1000 gallons of fuel in a state where annual per-capita gas consumption is around 500, so quite aside the fact that road-use taxes don't make a lot of sense (in most cases the last one to benefit from the road is the driver) so Texas is #RollingCoal by taxing EV owners twice what ICE owners pay.

  6. Reading this story it's never even guesstimated how much money Facebook is making placing paid reach for these fossil-fueled wind-causes-cancer cranks through its paid-speech hosepipe into the engagement algorithm that keeps Ben & Bongino consistently at the top of the metapops.

  10. Andrew Paul Johnson, pardoned by Trump for his participation in an attempt to overthrow the government on 1/6, has been convicted of multiple state charges of child molestation.

  12. Yet another horror story about fundamentalist Christians covering up terrible sex crimes against children. The molester here was a parishioner and the church -- not just the leadership but entire congregations -- repeatedly circled their wagons to protect him, instead demanding the victims forgive him and swear their silence, covering it up so thoroughly even siblings did not know about each other's victimization by the same man.

  14. "Covenant Eyes" is the spyware Speaker of the House Mike Johnson uses to keep himself and his son off porn sites:

  15. Charlie Kirk called Leviticus "God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters" but that book of laws would have monogamous married heterosexual couples ostracized from polite society for having sex during menstruation while having sex with your neighbor's premenstrual child goes unmentioned amidst the parade of particulars about the forbidden sexual relationships between in-laws.

  16. "South Carolina Rep. RJ May, a founding member of the state’s ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus, faces 10 counts of distributing child sexual abuse material... May was arrested Wednesday... according to jail records that quickly disappeared from public view... The last legislator suspended while facing federal charges was Rep. Rick Martin in 2021 [for] giving alcohol to a 15-year-old girl..."

  19. A fairly perfect analog between how China is powering the renewable transition while wall street and silicon valley are fiddling with novel but largely useless toys for the rich is laid out beautifully in Jacob #Bronowski's lingering pan across French automatons in contrast to English canal building and countryside mastery of water in "The Drive for Power" @ 6m45s.

  20. Stanislav #Petrov Day should -- obviously I think -- be celebrated by living like it's your last. For all you know it could be!

    From the morning after to the twin feasts of #Bassett and #Arkhipov -- October 27th and 28th respectively -- we mark the month of #Ramadoom by acknowledging the thin veneer of what passes for civilization and reflecting on the existential threat our species poses to all known life in the universe.

  21. CW: #BirdTurds

    Must be hard to settle in your cot and fall #unwoke with the smell of your own neo-reactionary shit barricading the doors at the corporate office you've been squatting in protest of being civil to minorities:

    "the smell of leftover takeout food and body odor has lingered on the floors... Bathrooms have grown dirty... because janitorial services have largely been ended, some workers have resorted to bringing their own rolls of toilet paper from home." #BirdTurds
