I’m in NY, but I have two kids on the left coast (Palo Alto and Portland), so I pay a lot of attention to the Cascadia subduction zone. I’ve read the New Yorker article (β€œThe Really Big One”) several times and will read β€œCascadia’s Fault” next. Oy vey.

If they use anyone’s power and poison anyone’s water, that’s not OK.

Neither construction creates many jobs.

So far they’re not constructing, as far as I know β€” just buying old warehouses. They’re planning to store humans in them.

Doodlebugs, when I was growing up on Long Island, NY.

I’m thinking today of all the people who were sure that our military would never obey illegal orders.

Come and take some of ours. In northern Westchester County, NY (north of NYC), we’re living in 28” of permafrost.

You want him to continue living??

That’s a lot of people’s lives badly hurt or destroyed.

Too many toes, otherwise superb.

I pause the TV for an hour, and then I can fast-forward through the fifteen minutes of ads per hour for four hours.

What happened to β€œHudson Valley”??

Oooohh! Which Florida man? Anyone we know?

There’s always been lots of eminent domain abuse in the US. It really took off around the 1950s when the government decided it could take property to benefit a private entity for β€œredevelopment,” e.g., when the property was β€œblighted” or harmed the interests of other property owners.

Nobody wants big data centers in their neighborhood. Nobody wants concentration camps in their neighborhood, either. What’s a big resource-sucking company to do??

We need someone with an advanced degree in unscrambling omelets and putting toothpaste back in tubes.

Much better than the long, tedious, deranged version.

Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll ever get a nickel of it back.

Do all government employees realize that they must refuse to follow illegal orders?

There’s no one to appeal to. The Supreme Court is the end of the road. But he’ll probably take some other illegal action to get the same result. He DGAS.

I’m not aware of such a tort. I would see a problem with standing, but I’m not familiar with this area of law.

20.02.2026 21:48 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Probably not for anything he did while IN office. Drat.

This resembles his mug shot, except for the mismatched eyes.

Sure enough, he says he’ll keep the tariffs in place.
