    WTF Climate Change News

    One of the things I find frustrating from those sort of articles is the focus on off repercussions rather than big, immediate issues. In this case a bigger story is that Scottsdale did nothing about an irresponsible community until it was forced by new state regulations to define contingency...

    WTF Climate Change News

    I briefly lived in Utah and saw so much of this kind of nonsense that as soon as I started reading the article I assumed that there was more going on. The Mountain West is clearly going through many changes, and it is entering a dry period that will require massive changes. As long as there have...

    WTF Climate Change News

    The Guardian article sounds relatively sympathetic to the people of Rio Verde Foothills with only one line about how the people there did nothing despite prior warnings: https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/rio-verde-foothills-getting-creative-after-losing-water-source The people of Rio Verde...

    VVO is back!

    Sorry to hear of your troubles Cristiano. I hope you will be feeling better soon. If there is anything I can do please let me know. It is also good to have the site back. I kinda missed you all and was wondering if there was a way to keep contact. I did not realize how much this place meant to...

    The Russia-Ukraine War has begun

    Col. Macgregor is an experienced war fighter with an impressive list of military accomplishments. Once you look past that, though, he is a hot mess of prejudice and anger. He has advocated for extrajudicial execution of people trying to cross the southern US border, said that the Russian army...

    Nobody Cares! (Science & Tech Edition)

    I did not realize this, but when Hahn published his work on fission, which led to a Nobel prize, he did not include Lise Meitner as a co-author on their shared work. Dr. Meitner did the theoretical work which described the results of Hahn's experiments...

    The folks who claim there was a vast conspiracy to commit fraud during the last US Presidential election may have left a trail of evidence of their efforts to conspire to lie about their efforts to overturn the election: https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/cassidy-hutchinsons-testimony-is?sd=pf

    He knows exactly how they work. People give him money and get nothing in return except bragging rights, hand waving, and meaningless letters and numbers. This is an idea he is intimately familiar with and yugely experienced with their manipulation. He also knows how to explain in a way that...

    Elon f*cks Twitter

    Some of the people that were dismissed from Twitter are claiming that they have not received the benefits they were promised. Some appear to have lost patience and have started to push for what they were promised: https://mastodon.social/@AkivaMCohen@mastodon.sdf.org/109441893372545082...

    Elon f*cks Twitter

    Based on his past practices, Elno seems to think the whole advertising thing is not all that helpful for building the brand: https://electrek.co/2022/06/22/elon-musk-tesla-advertise-counter-media-bias/ He may have considered it, but it was not something they were doing at the time the article...

    Nobody cares about food.

    As part of the twitter retrospective of looking back at the good old days of twitter, an old gem has been reposted. It is a quote by an Italian cyclist, Elisa Longo Borghini: The quote initiated a new meme on cyclist twitter. (Behind a spoiler as it is a bit of a derail.)

    What kind of name is "John" to you?

    I just want to say that I do not judge others, and women engaging in sex work of their own free will should be open and legal. Supporting sex workers is a good thing, and you have nothing to be ashamed of.

    Nobody Cares: PRS

    Former Congressman Devin Nunes has a habit of suing anybody who annoys him or brings unwanted attention to him. This included a certain satirical cow who ended up gaining more attention had Nunes just ignored the person. Another person he sued was Ryan Lizza who reported that the Nunes family...
