A mishmash: Middle East stuff, development stuff, organizational dysfunction, crisis response, carbon transition dynamics, silly sports things. Mostly here to read smarter people than me.

(Browns GM) Last year we had 9 QBs on the payroll and now we only have 4. Schneider's on the phone. I'm thinking we get Drew Lock for two firsts, or maybe Jalen Milroe for a first and a third. Maybe both.

Oh man Queen of Mars is on Youtube. If you don't know what to do today you should watch this

Plotwise it's a bit of a mess but it's pretty fun and says a lot about how the USSR saw itself then. Plus if I remember right the rocket is powered via wood stove although I might be getting my silent films mixed up

Love triangles and great Martian costumes.

Chotiner: You've got killer taste in music?
Me: oh yeah. To be honest I think I have a lot to teach the younger generation. All kinds of cool stuff they haven't heard.

Some takeaways:
1. Trump probably thinks American oil companies will cash in and he's probably right
2. He probably also thinks American prices won't go up and he's wrong
3. Asian countries should push green energy harder
4. Asian countries should never trust trump again on anything
