@RRapier again proves why he's a leading voice of reason on energy issues. This problem applies to much more than just energy, of course. ow.ly/hwCg50PZGBo #energy #facts #misinformation #energypolicy

It was a visit to Phoenix on a 115 F day that inspired the opening paragraph of my new book The Heat Will Kill You First:
"When heat comes, it’s invisible. It doesn’t bend tree branches or blow hair across your face to let you know it’s arrived. The ground doesn’t shake." 1/3

Active shooter at University of Oklahoma. People shocked at the advice to “run hide fight.”
This is what we teach. This is what my ten year old has learned in his drills at school and has since taught me. 🇺🇸
This has to end.

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.
I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

The idea that bloggers criticizing a politician should register with the government is insane. it is an embarrassment that it is a Republican state legislator in Florida who introduced a bill to that effect. He should withdraw it immediately.
