When confronted by current bad economic data showing things getting worse, Republicans blame Biden.

When confronted with polls showing dissatisfaction, they say the polls are wrong.

When confronted with election results of voter revolts, they say the elections are rigged.

This image went viral a few months ago.

Data centres are energy hungry and can cause substantial grid constraints and in worst case new fossil generation.

But there is a silver lining: we can use some of the waste heat for district heating.

The truth of this is only shocking to those that have tried to deny the truth of electing a confirmed felon, entitled, spoiled brat, and career criminal who has been a scofflaw all his life. America is getting what it deserves.

I think the only real lesson I’ve learned about American politics is that rich people will vote in their own interests and poor people won’t

I am old enough to remember Richard Nixon. What he did was criminal, but basically more stupid than anything. He didn't hurt American citizens. He was just paranoid.

Compare to Trumpy who has cost everyone so much, it's not even a fair comparison. Trumpy makes billions while all of us suffer.

Looks like a certain petulant brat got his saggy ass handed to him by a strong woman. You know how much he must have delighted in that. Thank you, President Connolly!

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Here's a gift link to my 9/11 essay in the NYT.

Civil libertarians long warned that before giving government new powers, we should consider how an administration with authoritarian ambition might abuse them.

We were told that America was too exceptional to elect such a person.

Well here we are.

The civil libertarians’ warnings have come true.
