From the Washington Post:

A group of insurgent investors backed by the three largest pension funds in America is trying to force ExxonMobil to take climate change much more seriously — not just for the sake of the company's viability but also for the sake of the planet.

The revolt is being led by a hedge fund, called Engine No. 1, which has charged the company not only with poor financial governance but with failing to come up with a viable strategy for dealing with the existential threat of climate change. Their campaign has built momentum by winning ...

There are many reasons that it's a mistake to invest in Big Oil, morality being chief among them. Another, however is practical. The only possible course for the world of transportation is the elimination of gasoline and diesel, as EV technology keeps getting better and less expensive.

The same can be said of the meat industry. Do not invest in the harvesting of beef, even if you don't care about animal cruelty or the fate of humankind on planet Earth. If you make such investments, plant-based meat will eventually eat your lunch, pun intended.

The point being made here is solid.

Let's all hope that this "stolen election" narrative goes down in history as the single stupidest event in U.S. history, and that it's not superseded by something even worse.

Another way of looking at this: If Democrats rigged the election, do you think Mitch McConnell and all the other disgusting human beings would still be in the Senate?

Before a pilot jumps in the cockpit, he or she will always conduct pre-flight planning. It takes between one and ten hours to plan a single mission in the fighter pilot world, depending on its complexity. Pre-flight planning includes researching the target or destination, route of flight, weather, aircraft maintenance records, fuel, and so on.

Imagine what would happen if a pilot said, "We don't need to do our pre-flight planning; we're just going to wing it today!" In the fighter pilot world, that would result in chaos, misalignment, confusion, and botched goals – not good!

How many times ...

The concept expressed at left here reminds me of an embarrassing admission I'd like to to make. When a conservative acquaintance who had actually been at the Capitol on January 6th to protest the "stolen election" told me that the riot was a false flag operation, perpetrated by BLM and/or Antifa, and designed to make Trump supporters look stupid, I believed that this could be true. After all, it wouldn't be the first false flag event in the world, and it sure did make Trump supporters look even more stupid/insane than they appeared at the time.

And this theory ...

Even my mother, a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, admires Bernie's sincerity.

Of course, he is from Vermont, which is unique among the 50 states, largely for its lack of concern for what people in the rest of the country think about it.

One of the most annoying things about old superhero movies is that the audience knows right from the start the good guys will win and the bad guys will be defeated. Not only that, but the titular character will not die, as he or she will have to return for a sequel. It's not that we want superheroes to die in these movies, but we know that the Batmen and Spider-Men of the world are in no real danger. They might suffer and they might be injured, but they'll make it to the sequel. And when the story is ...

This is Andrew Breitbart, the founder of far-right Breitbart News. And he's correct here: even though there are right extremist news sources (like his own, and a few cable "news" channels) the left does control the narrative.

But this isn't due to some sort of hidden mechanism of control at the hands of George Soros or some other boogie monster; it's because the vast majority of Americans, and most of the citizens in the developed countries around the world, have liberal values: common-sense gun laws, voting rights for all, a single-tiered justice system, war as a last resort, racial ...

If you're a human — and if you're not, how are you reading this? — you've probably come to terms with the fact that you're part of the problem. Earth is headed toward a cliff and the overwhelming majority of very smart people who study our planet say it's because we can't stop messing things up. We fill the oceans with plastics, burn old dinosaurs to keep our houses warm and our cars moving, and change the landscape of entire continents, all while pretending our actions will be without consequences. Sigh.

While a lot of research has gone into ...

"The sovereignty of the people and the freedom of the press are two entirely correlative things," Alexis de Tocqueville. Some crises can act as revelators. What was striking during the Covid-19 crisis was this deep dependence on public goods such as water, transit, health infrastructure and equipment… Goods so common that we forget how vital they are. Information is one of those fundamental assets. The role of journalists in a society is to inform, investigate and denounce. More than just a right, press freedom is the sine qua none condition for any democracy.

Detecting and starting treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at an age of 18 to 24 months can increase a child's IQ by up to 17 points—in some cases moving them into the "average" child IQ range of 90-110 (or above it)—and improving the child's quality of life significantly. Researchers at Duke University are using Machine Learning on AWS to create a faster, less expensive, more reliable, and more accessible system to screen children early for ASD.

Subtropical Ana forms in the Atlantic on Saturday morning.

The National Hurricane Center said that a low-pressure system to the northwest of Bermuda had become sufficiently organized on Saturday morning to become a subtropical storm. It will be named Ana.

Although Ana has some tropical characteristics, it is considered "subtropical" because it is associated with a low-pressure system in the upper atmosphere, and its maximum winds are located farther from its center. Ana should not strengthen significantly above its current maximum of 45 mph winds and should dissipate by early next week as it ...

White smoke rising from the tundra in front of the Baird Mountains.

Each winter, as snow blankets Alaska and northern Canada, the wildfires of the summer extinguish, and calm prevails—at least on the surface. Beneath all that white serenity, some of those fires actually continue smoldering underground, chewing through carbon-rich peat, biding their time. When spring arrives and the chilly landscape defrosts, these "overwintering" fires pop up from below—that's why scientists call them zombie fires.

Now, a new analysisin the journal Nature quantifies their extent for the ...

Talking to the Louisiana Channel, Danish professor, sculptor, and artist Bjørn Nørgaard outlines the philosophy that underpins his work, and reflects upon his architectural projects. Nørgaard describes the strong influence of his mentor in the 1960s - German artist Joseph Bueys - whose theories formed a key part of Nørgaard's evolution and ethos as an artist. The concept of "die soziale Plastik", or social sculpture, would go on to shape Nørgaard's approach to architecture and other forms of art - its main philosophy being that every part of life can be approached creatively.
