  1. Full page ad in today’s NYT.
  2. Sarah kendzior’s reporting is new to me, and might be the most accurate and astute commentary I have encountered. Here are selections from her latest substack, in which she answers subscriber’s questions. There’s more at the link. The most depressing thing she says is something I have posted here, that the complicity has been bipartisan for a very long time. I appreciate her unwillingness to say nothing can be done. (Yes, I overlooked the post as plain text. I’m trying to, so I apologize). https://sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/your-questions-answered-were-already
  3. When farmers lose their farms, Republicans profit. See Vance’s investment in AcreTrader.
  4. My wife, and both our (adult) daughters, seem to enjoy the popular drag shows that are on cable.
  5. Well, I just watched my first podcast, and I learned nothing I didn’t already know. To be fair, I hadn’t seen the Rogan footage, but I know about the threat to Social Security.
  6. I will believe the election was fair and square when I see the percentage of bullet votes for each state.
  7. I think this issue dates to 2017.
  8. Today we received in the mail an invitation to carpetbagger Chip Roy’s town hall, which was held yesterday.
  9. TIL that NOAA is instrumental to oyster and blue crab fisheries. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/habitat-conservation/oyster-reef-habitat https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/blue-crab
  10. Gifted David Frum Atlantic article which describes what yesterday’s events portend, titled “At Least Now We Know the Truth.” https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/02/least-now-we-know-truth-about-trump-and-vance/681872/?gift=hVZeG3M9DnxL4CekrWGK322xBEKOAOqJ6N2BuUzPwvw&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share
  11. Reminds me of what my aunt used to say: “Isn’t that just like a teenager, tell you the truth to your face, and expect you not to believe it.”
  12. Worth noting this cartoon came out in a Kiev newspaper and the Economist.
  13. This is not good.
  14. JD’s investment in AcreTrader looks to pay off pretty well. AcreTrader buys farmland. https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/10/08/jd-vance-acretrader/
  15. The NIH funding freeze is a function of DOGE, so this goes here. Senior scientists are being kicked to the curb. Research projects are losing their leaders. The only way this makes sense to me is that these fucks are doing all they can to ruin the United States of America. Again, every dollar the federal government invests in research yields $2.60 in economic activity. https://www.science.org/content/article/nih-ban-renewing-senior-scientists-adds-assaults-its-house-research
  16. I saw one termination letter posted by meteorologist. They were recently hired and still considered probationary.
  17. It makes sense if you believe he is trying to run this country into the ground.
  18. Can’t find anything about this on the wires, but John Green’s CV has some heft, and his latest book, due to come out in a couple of weeks, is titled “Everything is Tuberculosis.”
  19. Might as well post some hopeful news in the deadly disease thread. Yale reports positive results from a cancer vaccine. Nature magazine reporting: “A neoantigen vaccine generates antitumour immunity in renal cell carcinoma” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08507-5
