  4. @jayrosen_nyu On climate, the right's most brilliant victory has been keeping science out of sphere of consensus, in sphere of legit debate.
  5. 15 min. of awkward not-quite-conversation w/ the handyman reminds me yet again that I suck at masculine smalltalk. I need sports references!
  6. Everyone keeps saying the 00s are so bad. Don't people remember the '80s?
  7. RT @brianbeutler: RT @GOOD: why we need to get rid of the filibuster in the Senate: http://su.pr/2PMC7G #politics
  8. Thing is, most real action these days is small (or "less than what science indicates"). But small actions snowball. Symbolism evaporates.

  17. Hilario-tragic. RT @AdamSerwer: RT @phoebedoris: My double-take of the day, on AP description of Michelle Obama's gown: http://bit.ly/8SOj1a
  18. This "enemy is not politics, but physics" formulation bothers me. Politics is between us and physics. It really is a political problem.
  19. Judis comes through again. RT @tnr: Take heart, dear sir! http://bit.ly/4V6jFk @drgrist Stupidest way to help recession is to cut spending.
  20. While America turns away from dirty energy, Texas could soon have 12 new coal-fired power plants. What gives? http://bit.ly/3gztuB
