The address might be “we’re invading Venezuela AND I’m retiring because of a massive stroke.” How many duel declaration of war/resignation speeches have Presidents given?
Adam McKay (@ghostpanther.bsky.social)
Trump’s address tomorrow will NOT be AI generated because he had a stroke/health scare but the fact the thought occurred to me means at the least someone in his circle has floated the idea.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Wired once did a profile on me and the fact checking took 5x as long as the interviews and was conducted by a team of people. I don't care what you think about Taylor Lorenz, but you don't get to pretend Wired is the New York Post. These influencers took money to ignore genocide & the Dems paid 4 it

We should take time to imagine how it feels not to have corrupt leadership every day. Whether it’s a leader dying by natural causes, being thrown out of office or being arrested. Trump, JD Vance, Musk, Schumer, Jeffries, Desantis, Pelosi, CNN, Fox News, Exxon, all of them… They can go.

Why wouldn’t they include Greenland ice melt in the AMOC model runs? That seems crazy. I’m also assuming they didn’t include aerosol reduction.

Most have no frame of reference. Corp news blacked out climate warming or minimized it as just an “environmental story.” The science is so simple too. But oil companies won the information war. And the information war with climate is everything.

Realism is not doomerism. Doomerism is: “We’re all gonna die, Earth will die, nothing matters” etc. Realism is: “Even given maximum mitigation measures, we’re in for very rapid social, political, and ecological change, and we need to mentally prepare for it.” They are not the same.
