So I tried to write a column about dog rape. I couldn’t do it. Despite my fear of losing the last of my Substack subscribers, going broke, getting evicted from my apartment, and moving in next to the homeless guy who lives outside the doorway of the grocery store across the street, I could not… Read More The Beast

OK, here’s the first chapter of Strangers in a Strange Homeland, the USA road-trip book, which will be published by Arcade Publishing later this year, hopefully. I don’t usually publish drafts of work in progress, but, as my regular readers know, I’ve been more or less totally out of commission for the last four months… Read More The Map is Not the Territory

This will be a very brief update on my health and legal battles for subscribers. There won’t be any opining on Iran or Epstein or Trump or anyone or anything else. First, my heartfelt thanks to all the paid subscribers who have hung in there with me during these last few months of non-activity. I’m… Read More No Robots

I’m going to be out of commission for a while. I’ll spare you (or deny you) the gory details. The short version is, I am in pretty bad shape, and, after a couple more unpleasant diagnostic procedures, I’m going to get operated on by a big, scary-looking robot like the one in the photo above.… Read More Medical Leave

Has America been made great again enough for you yet? I asked that question back in May of last year in a column titled The Godzilla Window. It didn’t go over very well at the time, at least not with my conservative readers. Here are a couple excerpts … Personally, I don’t know how much… Read More The Golden Age of America Made Great Again

Three armed Berlin police officers arrived at my door this morning with a warrant to search my apartment. They conducted the search, interrogated me and my wife, and confiscated my computer. The search warrant was issued in connection with a new criminal investigation of me by the Berlin State Prosecutor. Once again, as in 2023,… Read More A Visit by the German Thought Police

OK, I’m not back in the U.S.S.A. quite yet, but I’ll be there Sunday night, assuming (a) the German officials allow me to leave, and (b) the Guardians of American Greatness at JFK Airport let me into the country. I think they have to let me in. I’m still a U.S. citizen, after all, so… Read More Back in the U.S.S.A.

Here comes Road Trip Update No. 4. Road Trip Update No. 4 will probably be the second to last update before the road trip begins on September 11th. It includes a few exciting additions and adjustments to our ever-evolving itinerary, and some other details that you might find interesting. Before we get into Road Trip… Read More All Apologies

OK, here comes America Road Trip Update No. 3. America Road Trip Update No. 3 is going to be predominantly promotional. It’s also going to be a little sappy, probably, which I know is out of character for me, but I’m extremely grateful to all the kind readers who are organizing gatherings and dinners and… Read More The Kindness of Strangers

Here comes Road Trip Update No. 2. It’s a bit of a weird update, as you are about to discover. Before we get into it, I want to convey my heartfelt thanks to all the kind readers who have invited us into their homes, and are organizing gatherings of people to come talk with us,… Read More Epistle to the Wokians

The U.S. benefits enormously from an open global economy and from the rule of law. Both depend on predictability. If courts blur the distinction between parent corporations and foreign subsidiaries, disregard sovereign objections from allied governments, and create liability untethered from direct operational control, the result will not be greater justice. It will be greater uncertainty. And uncertainty is the enemy of investment, development and international cooperation alike.

This week’s heatwave is an exceptionally rare event for this time of year, but it is not unprecedented, even during the few brief years our temperature records date back. The post The 1947 Heatwave, Which The Met Office Keeps Quiet About appeared first on Watts Up With That?.

If anyone is aware of research establishing that pH variation in the ranges indicated are some kind of grave threat to ocean life, I would be eager to be made aware of it. Until I see that, my conclusion is that the whole “ocean acidification” thing is no more than an effort to play on the idea that people will find the word “acid” scary.

The Urban Heat Island is a primary factor in urban warming trends, not the footnote that Climate Central treats it as. Before attributing summer warming in 221 cities to human fossil fuel use, Climate Central should first ensure that what they are measuring is a long-term atmospheric temperature trend, not the bias from urban asphalt and artificial heat sources.

Every democracy needs an opposition party to prevent the one temporarily in power from becoming despotic. And every society needs a cohort of intellectuals to check the dominance of a single perspective when its ideological hand becomes too heavy.

What does not make sense is the relentless campaign to portray every health challenge as another symptom of the ‘carbon dioxide crisis’, even as the IPCC retreats from its most apocalyptic scenarios and real-world data show humanity becoming far more resilient to environmental extremes.
