Buying less bullshit and spending more times at free community centers - public libraries, pools, beaches - is underrated climate action! (Also, apparently the New Deal built 750 public pools between 1933 and 1938? FDR sure loved swimming and investing in shared free infrastructure!)

That said, the study notes that regulation around metal levels would be a good thing. (You think??) * US folks: The recent Chevron ruling from SCOTUS gutted regulatory agencies' ability to do this though. If we want more protections we need agencies to have authority.

This is consistent with thinking that sometimes it's hard to tell what that meaning is. It's *often* hard to make ordinary terms precise (quick: how far away from you does something have to be in order no longer to count as 'close'?) But that does not prevent us from making ourselves clear enough.

And it's really important that judges act in such a way as to make this belief reasonable. If they could just make up whatever they wanted -- "When the Constitution says that a President must be 35 years old, I interpret '35' to mean '9' -- there would be no such thing as the rule of law.

Some lawyers are principled; some are not. More to the point: we can think that there is often a right answer, or at least better and worse answers, to the question: what does this law mean? This is one reason why I loathe the recent immunity decision: it's a horrible misreading of the Constitution.

If Project 2025 were just the Trump Bible version of the GOP platform, that would be bad enough. But it also includes the answer for why Trump will be a dictator this time: He's going to replace the government with book-banning MAGA swingers who sleep with their AR-15s and framed Rothbard photos.

SEDAN was part of Project Plowshare, which from 1961-73 conducted 27 nuclear tests to explore the potential “peaceful” uses of nuclear weapons. The explosion dug a crater 1,280-feet wide and 320-feet deep, sending more fallout across the United States than all but one other nuclear test in Nevada.

Based on a contemporaneous official film showing the preparations for this test, patriotic personnel apparently painted the nuclear device canister to resemble a giant firecracker.

Today in 1962, the US conducted the semi-underground SEDAN nuclear test at the Nevada Test Site. The blast from the 104-kiloton device, buried ~635' underground, threw 12,000,000 tons of rock and soil into the air, 8,000,000 of which fell outside the crater from a cloud that rose 12,000' high.
