Now that it is getting legalized everywhere, Cannabis should fall under the jurisdiction of the ATF rather than the DEA. (self.showerthoughts)

And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout "This is a F.A.C.T. jack"! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

climate change, tipping point

Yeah, fair point. The bit about "coldest, hottest, wettest, driest" is pure BS, though. I need receipts if you honestly believe that, but I think it's just an ill-considered rhetorical flourish.

fascism problems

Definitely not unprecedented.

OK, now you've lost me. I'm not terribly interested in going into conspiracy-theory land.

The 10 warmest years in the historical record have all occurred since 2010.

In July, David Grusch, a former intelligence official, testified that the U.S. government was holding nonhuman bodies taken from U.F.O. crash sites, that the military is misusing funds to cover up a “U.A.P. crash retrieval and reverse engineering program,” and that people had been injured in efforts to conceal these operations. He also alleged retaliation from his superiors for previously making similar claims. The Pentagon has denied the allegations.

On Friday, some lawmakers saw tantalizing hints in Mr. Monheim’s presentation that there might have been something to Mr. Grusch’s claims and, while the rules of a classified briefing barred them from actually repeating what they had learned, they suggested the inspector general had found some of the claims credible. Which ones? No one would say.
