Don't forget the eggs! Lots and lots of eggs. Even if you don't regularly eat eggs.

In case you don't know, the creative team was fired 75% of the way through it and the new folks supposedly edited everything shot to conform to a new story.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like β€œratings” or β€œrevenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Why Israel Wants to Strike Again: Inside Iran's Expanding Missile Threat Israeli officials are preparing to brief U.S.

New post on Iranian thinking after the June 2025 war and why missiles, not nuclear latency, are now at the center of Tehran's strategy. axesandatoms.substack.com/p/why-israel...

I know very little about climate science, but doesn't Washington State get mostly rain during this season? My only point is that atmospheric rivers have been a thing for a long time. Attributing every bad weather event to climate change will result in backlash.

I fully believe in climate change and all of the current and potential impacts. In this case, however, how can you be so sure what's happening is due to climate change? Love the Holdren quote by the way...

For some reason this makes me wonder if anyone on the "landed in the Hudson" flight ever flew again. Maybe they would have decided driving was much safer...

Behind the Dismantling of the C.D.C.: Reform or β€˜Humiliation’?

Keeping it to one missile from an unknown source focused the issues they wanted. No easy answers. Dawn's...was good but realistic? Bomber dropping a nuke to destroy interceptors? A blinded POTUS talking to the Soviet Premier on a MD FEMA camps' radio? Looking Glass taking ramming the command plane?

Great piece. Only thing I disagree with is the chance that Democrats can force any resignations. This is a different administration from their first time around and the Congressional Republicans are in lockstep.

From the excellent and regrettably not-on-here Simon Saradzhyan:

I first listened to Black Sabbath when I was 6 or so - my much elder brothers, dressed in bell bottoms and sporting long hair at the time, played some of the early numbers on massive Soviet-made reel-to-reel tape recorder "Astra.”

this is also, btw, to ride one of my minor hobby horses, an example of why "emp weapons" aren't a thing. you can't get predictable effects, for one thing, and for another it is a nuclear attack and the response to zapping a few light switches will be a massive unpleasant response
