A turning tide - critical reasoning for climate change science. From Kimberley A. Strassel of the WSJ. Something important happened this week, if the fuming response is anything to go by. The country is witnessing the rise—finally—of a scientifically armed and debate-ready climate right. The “consensus” gatekeepers don’t like it one bit. The Energy Department issued a report whose title might glaze eyes: “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” energy.gov/sites/default/…

@levie @buccocapital Excellent point, much appreciated.

Huge misunderstanding by everyone why companies buy software. Companies don’t want every employee doing every workflow from scratch on their own for every use case. At some point what you’re outsourcing is the ability to not have to think about the business process, and instead let the software provider think about it. Agents don’t change that, and probably if anything exhibit that dynamic even more.

B/c having a vendor w/ 1000’s of people who wake up every day literally only thinking about solving your problems is a good feeling and worth paying for and why the vertical software selloff is stupid because SMBs don’t fucking care about benchmarks they just want. it. to. work.

@Joeinblack You have a blessed parish.

We’ve had over 100 hours of confessions this lent not counting tonight. Tonight three of us went for two hours and a half hours. I am blessed to be the priest for people who will wait two hours for the opportunity to reconcile with Jesus. I am the most blessed priest in the world.

@BuzzPatterson The technique or the work ethic?

We need this in NYC.

@miles_commodore You’ll be over 85 one day (God willing).

When a family member over 85 years old is telling you a story for the 28th time, should you say something or play along?

@OfficialTourPro The GOAT

Jack Nicklaus on the 15th hole during the final round of the 1975 Masters. 230 yards with a 1 iron. So good.

@CuriosityonX Change my pants.

What would you do in this situation?

How about we just do what Milton Friedman said 50 years ago? “We had open boarders before 1914 and did not have any issues. Why do we have issues today with illegal immigrants? Because our welfare system is better life than where they come from. Before 1914 if you wanted to come and work hard and can make a better life - come on in.” Get rid of welfare and all the problems go away and our government debt goes away

@CuriosityonX Well, God is always a possibility.

If the BIG BANG started everything, what existed before it?

@MatrixMysteries What students, having settled on a major, aren’t at least somewhat aware, by their sophomore year, of what happens to the graduates? Yes, it’s a pain and $$ to switch majors, but worse than this scenario?

“I spent $250,000 on a philosophy degree and I can’t find ANY work.” Years in class. Six figures in debt. ZERO payoff. She didn’t fail the system — the system sold her a LIE.

@MishGEA @tyillc @jlounsbury59 @USRoute41 @mtmalinen @jimiuorio @JonFraserTF @GratkeWealth @grok @dgsommersmkts April 1st, right?

Trump to Address the Nation Wednesday, US Will Leave Iran in 2-3 Weeks @tyillc @jlounsbury59 @USRoute41 @mtmalinen @jimiuorio @JonFraserTF @GratkeWealth @grok @dgsommersmkts Trump says US goals have been attained. No deal is needed. mishtalk.com/economics/trum…

@MHerronLaw @dom_lucre Or - maybe easier - sit back and watch the planes try to land on an underground runway.

@dom_lucre If those F-4 Phantoms and crappy old MiGs take flight they will be shot down instantly.

🔥🚨BREAKING: It has been revealed that Iran still has some fighter jets hidden inside secret underground air bases.

@Afamfreemind @dom_lucre @grok So, is the runway underground as well? Landing back on an underground runway could be a bit tricky.

@dom_lucre Hey @grok If Tehran’s air power has been underground all along, how much of Iran’s capability has really been degraded and are we just scratching the surface of what’s still intact?

@atensnut Any educated person should be able to read that word.

Do you know? I use cursive every day.

@interesting_aIl @grok who manufactures this device?

l've lived in 2026 while this guy is in 3024

@Osint613 @BrennpunktUA @grok what say you about the authenticity of this post?

IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Moosavi: Today, we attacked the residence of American pilots and aircrew in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia, with a drone and a missile, and struck a gathering of 200 people. Now, to the list of casualties and damages for Trump and Hegseth, apart from the AWACS, tankers, and fuel depots, a list of casualties and injuries to the flight crew has also been added.

@shanaka86 @grok where can a Q4 2025 Rocket Report be obtained?

The Q4 2025 Rocket Report dropped yesterday and the number that should terrify every government on Earth is not the one going viral. SpaceX launched 1,159 of the 1,404 spacecraft put into orbit worldwide in Q4 2025. That is 83% of all spacecraft launched by every nation and company on the planet combined. In the United States the number is 97%. China managed 8%. Russia 4%. All of Europe, the continent that built Ariane, managed 0.2%. One private company now commands greater orbital access than any sovereign power in human history, including the Soviet Union at the peak of the Space Race. And on March 30, booster B1067 flew for the 34th time. The entire Space Shuttle program flew 135 missions across five orbiters over 30 years. One Falcon 9 first stage has now achieved one quarter of that total in four years of service. The Shuttle cost $1.5 billion per mission. Falcon 9 costs $67 million, with total fuel running $150,000. That is not a cost reduction. That is a change in the physical nature of what orbital access means. Now layer what happened in the nine days before that flight. March 21: Terafab breaks ground in Austin. One terawatt per year of AI compute. Logic, memory, and advanced packaging in a single building with a recursive mask-fab-test loop that exists nowhere else. Eighty percent of output allocated to space. March 22: First renders of the 100-kilowatt AI satellite with solar arrays and radiators, scaling to megawatt. D3 chips designed to run hotter in vacuum where radiative cooling is free. March 30: 148 satellites deployed in under 24 hours across two missions. Transporter-16 carried 119 payloads from dozens of operators. Starlink 10-44 added 29 more. The booster that flew its 34th mission landed on a droneship 8.5 minutes after liftoff, its 575th successful recovery for the company. Nobody is reading these events as a single sequence because no analytical framework exists for what is forming. This is not a space company. It is not a car company. It is not a chip company. It is not an AI company. It is the first vertically integrated civilization-scale stack in human history. One entity now controls fabrication of silicon, launch of mass to orbit, a constellation of 10,139 satellites with autonomous AI collision avoidance executing 300,000 maneuvers per year, the world’s largest battery storage deployment, the only humanoid robot in mass production, and the AI training infrastructure running on 200,000 GPUs scaling to 1.5 million. From atoms to orbit to intelligence under one roof. The Soviet Union at its most powerful operated rockets and satellites. TSMC fabricates chips. Google runs AI. Tesla builds cars and batteries. No entity before this moment has controlled the complete vertical from raw silicon through fabrication through launch through orbital infrastructure through energy through robotics through artificial intelligence simultaneously. And here is the fact that should stop every analyst, every fund manager, and every head of state cold. The fuel cost to maintain this dominance is $150,000 per launch. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That is less than a house in most American cities. The propellant bill for the vehicle that delivers 97% of American orbital access costs less than a mid-range Tesla. The bottleneck was never technology. It was never physics. It was never fuel. It was imagination. And one man just announced that 80% of his chip factory’s output is going to space because Earth cannot power what he intends to build. The Q4 Rocket Report is not a market share chart. It is a civilizational audit. And the audit says one company is building the infrastructure for a species-level transition while every government and competitor on Earth is still filing quarterly earnings.

@ThrillaRilla369 Buy a second, bigger dog perhaps?

If your Muslim neighbor says you must get rid of your dog to respect Islam, what would you do?

@Rainmaker1973 @grok is this discovery still regarded as accurate?

In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected — they actually struggled and grew more slowly. Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals — sometimes between entirely different species. She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines. Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks. What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network — built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.

@rogerkimball @WSJ Completely agree. 🎯🎯🎯 20 yrs ago, when the U.S. educational system was educational, I found the WSJ in college and never looked back. Until last summer. It became so apparent the WSJ was infected with NYT Lyme disease that I cancelled my subscription. A real loss.

A friend sent an interesting email about the Wall Street Journal. It is worth thinking about. "It is sad to see what is happening to the @WSJ, once a beacon of light for conservatives and free-market thinkers.  The news pages of the WSJ have long resembled the news coverage found in the @nytimes , because both papers hire journalists with the same backgrounds.  Now things have gotten worse: the editorial pages are following the news pages down the drain.  The editors of  have run a series of articles by and about Rahm Emmanuel, as he prepares to run for president in 2028.  This is a joke: these are not thoughtful articles but campaign broadsides.  Besides, if Mr. Emmanuel wants to make a serious run for the presidency, he would not be publishing articles in the Wall Street Journal, since few voters in Democratic primaries bother to read the paper.  He might as well run a campaign with the slogan, 'Republicans for Emmanuel.'  There are other negative signs.  Recently, the editorial page published two articles claiming the AfD party in Germany is about to collapse, just as the party won sweeping victories in local elections.  The same articles forecast a bright future for the Green Party in Germany; that forecast is not looking good either.  Plainly, the editors are confusing wishes with reality.  On the other hand, give us more of Allysia Finley and Gerard Baker."

@BuzzPatterson Glad my father isn’t alive to see this.

I didn’t fly and fight the Cold War for New Yorkers to wave communist flags.
