You are unaware that the government can provide public spaces where people can do things other than look at their phones, play video games, and get high? Poor you. But there's no reason to subject the rest of us to your ignorance and lack of imagination, still less for the NYT to give them space.

Pretty clear that the Federalist Society project to take over the courts for the far right is the most successful and consequential political effort in history. Only took them a few decades. Meanwhile, Dems are like "Let's not be hasty, blue slips serve an important function in preserving comity."

Banning medical debt from credit reports. Cracking down on junk fees. Banning non-competes. Capping credit card fees. Negotiating drug prices. Expanding OT pay. These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

It is enormously frustrating to know, as an evolutionary biologist with experience from the trenches of the creationist wars on science, that nobody on Biden’s team nor CNN’s seem to be aware of the Gish Gallop, 30y after Eugenie Scott described it and years of Trump deploying it!

Today on Volts: more heat pumps! I talk with the founder of Harvest about the advantages of coupling a heat pump with a giant thermal battery (a big water tank) so that electricity consumption can be time-shifted, lowering costs & emissions.

In Blue Machine, I wrote about a weird type of marine worm, Ramisyllis multicaudata, which has one head, lives inside a sponge, and branches as it grows so that by the time it reaches the outside of the sponge it has hundreds (sometimes >1000) anuses.

Proposal: Unbundle the methods, stop calling it mCDR, and talk about “Restoring Seawater” to realize its CO2 uptake potential. It could help the public understand what Direct Ocean Removal and Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement have in common and avoid conflation with ecosystem manipulation.
