Mine was summer '22, went from MPLS to Black Canyon in Colorado, then Capitol Reef, Bryce, and Zion in Utah, then to San Diego, up Route 1 til San Francisco, then cutting back across Nevada to get back. Haven't found the time for something similar since.

I went on a great Western US road trip in between jobs a few years ago and it was genuinely one of the best times of my life

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Imagine filing a lawsuit to force a university to state on the record that no they actually just think you're stupid.

Ok.

This is a painterly description of blackbody radiation, not anything to get upset about.

It is from (the end paragraph of) a piece for Pioneer Works. I've written for them, and my science writing there is definitely more floral and "that's deep, man" like this than it is elsewhere.

Whose Concentration Camps? AOC is drawing the correct lessons from Holocaust history, unlike mainstream Jewish institutions.

"What, then, is the meaning of a phrase like 'never again' when the institutions that proselytize it also argue that Holocaust memory cannot be sullied by the present tense?"

For those unfamiliar with Edina this is the Minneapolis equivalent of a Westchester socialite walking down Fifth Avenue singing "John Brown's Body."

If you are not in Minnesota, this is what our peaceful arty neighborhood lined with some of the best food in the state has turned into. This is an occupation. This is extremely hard to watch and hear. This is how bad it is. It is worse.
