Generalist. Scientific work at: https://t.co/dAIyPHmGnR Immediate block if you open the bidding by insulting me.

š§µI write about climate science, politics, international affairs, and a host of other subjects. Links in bio. Best thing about writing for the web? People who can show me where I'm wrong. It saves me the endless time I'd otherwise waste following blind alleys and wrong ideas.

I see that these days, lots of folks from Mamdummy on up think socialism is a brilliant plan. It's not. It has failed EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN TRIED. Sadly, most folks supporting socialism have no clue what it is. For those folks, read the post below. w. https://t.co/Xznte9Pttk

Well ā¦ Grokipedia is as dumb as Wikipedia. It says: === "Scientific literature reflects a strong consensus, with over 99% of peer-reviewed studies endorsing a substantial human role in recent warming," === Yeah, no. Sorry, Elon, but that's nonsense. w.

Yeah ā¦ no. w. === The claim made in the tweetāthat there is up to $6 billion in a contingency fund to provide SNAP/CalFresh benefits during shutdownsāis partially accurate, but requires very important context and is at the heart of a legal and political dispute. What is true:
forbes.com
Almost 42 million Americans rely on SNAP to purchase food, according to the USDA.
There is a contingency fund that Trump and his lapdogs in Congress have claimed has run dry. That is a lie. There is up to $6 billion in that fund to provide SNAP/CalFresh benefits during shutdowns. Republicans are playing politics.

For a man who "has no interest", he sure seems interested ā¦ Gavin Goodhair is a political weathervane, pointing in whichever way the political winds are blowing. No standards, no ethics, no morals, just an insane desire for more and more power. w.
Gavin Newsom is furious Joe Rogan won't have him on: "He won't have me on. He's consistently not having me on. By the way, I'm moving on. I have no interest. Joe Rogan is the Facebook of podcasting." "If he has a big audience but he doesn't have big enough confidence ā I didn't

Nope. What's insane is that food stamp eligibility income limits are too high. A single guy making $16/hr ($32,000/year) and paying $1200/mo for rent plus utilities can get food stamps. And Amazon's entry-level is $23/hr, people working there on SNAP are part-timers. w.
Whatās insane is that 44% American workers are paid less than a living wage by their employers, forcing them onto social safety nets like SNAP. SNAP subsidizes employers who pay poverty wages.

Brianna, most everyone I know wants three things from trans folks, and NONE of them involve violence. They are: ā¢ Stay the hell out of women's private spaces, dressing rooms, jails, sports, showers, and the like. Women don't want you there and they've told you that over and

Nope. The problem is that the income limits for food stamp eligibility are too high. A single guy making $16/hr ($32,000/year) and paying $1200/mo for rent plus utilities can get food stamps. And Amazon's entry-level is $23/hr, people working there on SNAP are part-timers. w.
The problem is not the poor kid who gets $6 a day in food stamps. The problem is the Walton family, worth $469 billion, & Jeff Bezos, worth $247 billion pay wages so low that their workers need food stamps. The real welfare queens are the billionaires who pay starvation wages.

For the Democrats this isn't a bug, it's a feature. It lets them endlessly give money to their pals' NGOs that make megabucks "solving" these problems. If the problem actually gets solved, the NGO money dries up. Will it get solved? I'm sure you can follow the Benjamins. w.
This piece is utterly horrifying -- how California and Los Angeles's utterly inept and uncaring government does nothing to put a stop to a three-mile strip of underage street prostitution, dubbed the "Kiddie Stroll" by local cops.
