You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting.
Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.
Floods, fires, and Fiona: the increasing cost of climate change risks will break the insurance industry

N.S. Premier Houston’s killing of the Coastal Protection Act was a “failure of leadership,” and a “failure” to have “a backbone.” Or maybe a selectively soft backbone that bends, like his knees, before wealthy developers and powerful industrial interests?
I think every #NovaScotia mayor I interviewed so far as said the province ditching coastal protection was a huge mistake and letdown.
Now those municipalities are trying to figure out how to protect their communities. Some of the mayors working together on plans.
It’s very strange that many headlines today are a about war making petroleum more expensive rather than war killing people, harming people, destroying the environment.
Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died.
This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.
I’m taking the Senator’s word over Carney’s. #cdnpoli
Wanna know why EVs need way less maintenance and repairs than gas cars? Here's a clue:

BREAKING: 4 drones stolen from secure facility after FBI warns of possible drone attacks.
The threat was not announced by Iran, but by the FBI, BEFORE multiple drones were reported missing from a secure U.S. military facility at Fort Campbell.
800,000 people driven from their homes.
Great seeing the traction this article us getting, we've seen amazing improvement all across California, electrify all the things, as rapidly as possible!
Liberals are so gullible Stephen Harper shrank a bit, put on a red sweater, and called himself Mark Carney.
Hegseth said there would be no stupid rules of engagement for Trump's war against Iran.
So they blew up a school full of children and have shown no remorse. How Christian.
Carney is making deals with Cohere. Cohere works with Palantir.
Carney fans, rationalize away!
astronomy is so funny because it's this fairly niche interest for a small community of nerds and also it's 99.9999% of everything that exists
I'm including Carney as a Con.
Cons announcing tax cuts is like an air raid siren for your economy and ecology.
Imagine your family member serving in Trump's "little excursion" after he called service members suckers and losers.
That hand gesture Trump does every time he says "we went on a little excursion", is psychotic.
Remember when, during the beginning of a global pandemic, all of our dumbest, most selfish people chugged disinformation from an Epstein-class-funded cult where these deplorables imagined themselves as modern-day Jesus for helping to make the pandemic as bad as possible?
