[The Apollo 11 plaque] reads: "We came in peace for all Mankind." As the United States was dropping 7 ½ megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock. - Carl Sagan

it’s easy to forget in all his “I’m a baby stop being mean to me” posts that Stancil’s motivating theory is that leftists are the country’s greatest threat and to combat them he’s chosen to make himself out to be their perpetual victim, despite people only ever noting inconsistencies in his posts.

This. The court may even pair the release of the ruling in favor of birthright citizenship with the one gutting the Voting Rights Act, and the usual suspects will proclaim it’s a sign of moderation

- there are like thousands and thousands of (new) US troops in the Middle East
- there are threats to close another important strait
- there are worldwide soon to be increasing shortages of diesel and fertiliser
- Iran is still (rightfully) big mad

How is this going to be "normal" soon?

Not so marvelous news.

~95,000 scientists have left the federal government since the Trump regime took over.

what i remember most about mueller is reporting, i believe from The New Yorker, that Trump’s team was terrified about the prospect of going up against “a grizzled, hard-add FBI veteran” and when they finally sat down with him, they found an old, stumbling man trying to get back to retirement ASAP

The US should not be allowed to host the World Cup while it is bombing other countries. It shows how corrupt FIFA is that this hasn't been an automatic dealbreaker.

The problem Trump is gonna have here is that unlike our captured media and press and ineffectual Congress, every other country in the world knows exactly whom you are and they hate you and will never ever help you at all

El Niño is coming, and it is shaping up to be a big one.

Over at The Climate Brink I've put together a compilation of the latest forecasts by different modeling groups. They suggest that we might see an event comparable in strength to what we saw in 2016: www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-el-nino-cometh

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

There are real people and cultures in places like Gowanus who actually aren't begging to be saved by dudes in bike tights with Matt Yglesias subscriptions reading about this shit from miles away and treating it as a sport.
