Don’t fret over China’s new climate targets The ambitions of its clean-tech industry matter more than any humdrum pledges

"China is tying its economic future to the clean-energy sector. Last year solar power, electric vehicles (evs) and batteries were responsible for 10% of its gdp" - meanwhile America is tying its future to fossil-energy with inevitably bad economic prospects

Who is going to do something?

This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

XII. And for preventing illegal imprisonments in prisons beyond the seas; (2) be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no subject of this realm that now is, or hereafter shall be an inhabitant or resiant of this kingdom of England, dominion of Wales, or town of Berwick upon Tweed, shall or may be sent prisoner into Scotland, Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey, Tangier, or into parts, garrisons, islands or places beyond the seas, which are or at any time hereafter shall be within or without the dominions of his Majesty, his heirs or successors; (3) and that every such imprisonment is hereby enacted and adjudged to be illegal; (4) and that if any of the said subjects now is or hereafter shall be so imprisoned, every such person and persons so imprisoned, shall and may for every such imprisonment maintain by virtue of this act an action or actions of false imprisonment, in any of his Majesty's courts of record, against the person or persons by whom he or she shall be so committed, detained, imprisoned, sent prisoner or transported, contrary to the true meaning of this act, and against all or any person or persons that shall frame, contrive, write, seal or countersign any warrant or writing for such commitment, detainer, imprisonment or transportation, or shall be advising, aiding or assisting, in the same, or any of them; (5) and the plaintiff in every such action shall have judgment to recover his treble costs, besides damages, which damages so to be given, shall not be less than five hundred pounds; (6) in which action no delay stay or stop of proceeding by rule, order or command, nor no injunction, protection or privilege whatsoever, nor any more than one imparlance shall be allowed, excepting such rule of the court wherein the action shall depend, made in open court, as shall be thought in justice necessary, for special cause to be expressed in the said rule; (7) and the person or persons who shall knowingly frame, contrive, write, seal or countersign any wara…

The long history of the Great Writ is actually quite alive to this issue of exile. From the perspective of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, sending a prisoner outside the country didn’t deprive the court of jurisdiction; instead, it exposed the officials responsible to a raft of severe punishments.

FBI raids home of prominent computer scientist who has gone incommunicado Indiana University quietly removes profile of tenured professor and refuses to say why.

I am deleting my original skeet on Professor Wang’s disappearance because I don’t think it’s correct to say he is presumed to be in federal custody. We just don’t know. arstechnica.com/security/202...

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

Folks, doomerism is its own form of preening. A bid for a perverse form of cynical anti-clout. If that’s what works for you, whatever gets you through the night. But recognize it for what it is.

Doomerism is libs' and lefties' way of obeying in advance.

You can’t get more symbolic (nor more destructive) than silencing the Voice of America.

The U.S. Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk’s private security team, granting them specific rights and protections as federal law enforcement agents.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

How you can know conservative religion is abusive… it trumps your very identity.

Four charts from Our World in Data comparing the share of EV car sales around the world, in the EU, China and the US. Source: https://ourworldindata.org/electric-car-sales

The US just revoked an executive order aimed at making EV sales 50% by 2030. “The US will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said.

But China is already stomping the US in EV sales. This decision will widen the gap.

BREAKING: Republicans aim to INCREASE insulin costs

Trumpers in Congress introduce bill to KILL the $35/mo cap on insulin prices that Biden passed

To hurt 8.4 million Americans who rely on insulin

And to help Big Pharma and insurance

THAT is what Trump and the GOP represent

We’re learning just how many people have been pretending at the most basic human decency all along. They’ve hated feeling compelled to pretend. They so love the recent license to stop.

They can’t imagine anyone who isn’t also pretending. When they run into virtue, they call it “virtue signaling.”

So, he’s not gonna lower the price of groceries like he said, and he’s not gonna stop immigrants from taking American jobs like he said, and he’s not gonna protect social security like he said, but at least he might go to war with Greenland, Canada and Panama, so there is that.

The comic that got us demonetised on Facebook back in August. (We’re no longer on Facebook).

CNN — President-elect Donald Trump appears to be entertaining an American territorial expansion that, if he’s serious, would rival the Louisiana Purchase or the deal that netted Alaska from Russia.

Totally normal way for a news network to talk about a demented fascist dictator starting WW3.

A post from user @liz_churchill7, states: "You can't make this up...inside these 'vaccines' are RNA modifying nanotechnology...that connects YOUR BODY to 5G (Pentagram)...which receives signals from CERN 666...and said 'Super Computer' that powers CERN is called 'The Beast'...CERN is located on the former Temple of Apollo."

Narrator: She made this up.

So structural change after a shooting is possible after all

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.
