Generalist. Climate researcher. I'm happy to discuss anything, but expect an immediate block if you open the bidding by insulting me.

Northern California
🧵I write about climate science, politics, international affairs, and a host of other subjects. Links in bio. Best thing about writing for the web? People who can show me where I'm wrong. It saves me the endless time I'd otherwise waste following blind alleys and wrong ideas.

This is the part that leftists, Democrats, and socialists never seem to understand. Billionaires create jobs. Billionaires create wealth. Billionaires create millionaires. And yes, I fact checked this and it's true. w.

Most men don't understand women's fear. I didn't for most of my life. I used to say, "I've been in Trenchtown in Jamaica at night, and I'm not a big guy, so yes, you can bet I was afraid". And I was afraid. I thought women's fear was like that. Then one day I realized I'd left something out. I thought, Imagine my fear if I were in Trenchtown at night, and I had $10,000 in cash tucked away in my underwear, and every man around me knew it … how frightened would I be then? That's the difference, and that is why for thousands of years we've had private spaces for women where no men can go, places where they don't have to worry about that. And that is why the trans movement is so vile and despicable. They want to take away from women the few places where they can feel safe. Stop it. Just stop it. Anyone pushing for men in women's dressing rooms, jails, domestic abuse shelters, bathrooms, or the like HATES WOMEN AND WANTS TO PUNISH THEM!!! Grrrr … w.

Y'know, I used to respect the Dutch. But now that they are back to WWII levels of Jew-hatred, they've lost every scrap of respect I had for them. Muslims are literally killing people all over the world, and the Dutch single out the Jews? Pr|cks … w.

I don't understand the use of an ineffective method for the death penalty. The Canadians have euthanized 76,475 people through the end of 2024 under the MAID program. How about we just their sequence of intravenous drugs: • Midazolam to reduce anxiety and provide sedation. • Propofol to induce deep unconsciousness. • Rocuronium to paralyze muscles, including those needed for breathing. OBVIOUSLY, THAT METHOD WORKS WELL! w.

Anyone who murders someone is obviously in favor of the death penalty, with them as judge, jury, and executioner. I say we should honor their beliefs and both retain and expand the death penalty. w.
Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

For a man who claims to follow the Bible … he doesn't. The Bible explicitly prescribes death for a murderer. Numbers 35:16 says, “The murderer shall be put to death,” and Exodus 21:14 specifies death for someone who deliberately plots and kills another person. w.

The death penalty is wrong and people who defend it have lower cognitive function

🚨A BRITISH SOLDIER SPEAKS FOR MILLIONS “I sacrificed my life to secure this country's freedom and its freedom of speech — and now you arrest people for words while turning a blind eye to crimes committed by invaders. You are a disgrace to your uniform and you are an insult to mine.” A moment like this cuts through everything. When a serving soldier—in full uniform—has to remind the police what this nation stands for, it proves just how far we’ve fallen. Britain’s armed forces understand sacrifice, duty, and loyalty to the people. They also see betrayal when it's unfolding right in front of them. This is not about politics. This is about truth, honour, and the survival of the nation our soldiers pledged their lives to defend. History will look back on these days, and those who stayed silent will not be remembered kindly.

Yep. Uh-huh. Fer sure. Damn right. 100%. w.
Our ancestors had it right when it comes to executions (and many other things). They didn’t try to sanitize it. If you’re convicted of a horrible crime, you’re gonna die. They’ll hang you from a rope or shoot you or chop off your head and that’ll be it. They won’t pretend it’s something other than what it is. It’s ugly and violent, because killing someone is an ugly and violent thing, but it’s the fate you chose for yourself. It’s justice. Don’t want to suffer that fate? Don’t commit the crime. It was much more honest. Much simpler. And I think far more dignified for all involved, especially the condemned.

I swear, these people are innumerate. The article joyously proclaims that this new technology MIGHT bring the cost of CO2 capture down to $100/tonne. There are about 39 BILLION tonnes of CO2 emitted/yr. To collect it all would cost $3.9 TRILLION/yr … and that doesn't include the cost of whatever storage method used to sequester it. BUY A CALCULATOR, FOOLS! w. arstechnica.com/science/2026…

I have a dream. I dream of a day when men in the West will find their spines and testicles, and rise up against parasitized suicidal empathy. I dream of a day when the populace will rise up against parasitic taxation whereby a large chunk of an individual's hard-earned money is stolen. I dream of a day when universities recommit to intellectual enrichment void of ideological activism. I dream of a day when people recognize that all religions are not equally congruent with our liberties and freedoms. I dream of a day when our grandchildren will live in freer societies than those of our grandparents. I dream of a day when people who fail to recognize the two phenotypes (male and female) are laughed out of public discourse. I dream of a day when every single person who adheres to a religious ideology that wishes to exterminate us is removed from our midst. Freedom and truth are the ideals from which all else that is good flows. I have a dream.

I see that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, famous for killing women for showing their hair and for chanting "Death To America", has changed their chant. They are now chanting "Vote For Democrats" … kinda sez it all about the Democrat Party. w. nypost.com/2026/09/29/world-…

Judging all Americans based on some foolish friend of yours proves nothing about Americans … but it does demonstrate that you make bad choices about friends … w.
My American friend just spent $95,000 on a brand new truck He lives in a suburb and commutes 50 kilometers each way to an office and never hauls anything He financed the entire purchase and has a $1,075 payment And he will spend $600 on gasoline each month Meanwhile, I spend €12 for an entire year of transportation - my bicycle costs zero to operate, besides the small €12 non-carbon emitting vehicle registration registration fee I have to pay each year I'll never understand Americans

One tiny detail omitted by Mukhtar. Hamas offered to hand over the hostages IF the Israelis would forget about the torture, rape, and murder of a thousand innocents and would ignore the real threat by Hamas to repeat the massacre over and over. Mukhtar is lying by omission. w.
The Prime Minister of Qatar said that Hamas wanted to hand over all the civilian hostages on the first day of the war, but the Israelis rejected the proposal and refused to even “entertain the idea.”

It does make me think. It makes me think that Muslims are violent cultists who will happily kill anyone who disagrees with them. This is NOT a good thing. w.
Islam has survived more enemies than most religions ever faced. 1,400 years later, it’s still here. That should make you think.

Here's the history. It's not pretty. It's not "noble Islam" beating evil opponents. It's the opposite—colonization, murder, enslavement, killing captives, raping women. As usual, Maliq is lying, this time by omission. w. rosebyanyothernameblog.wordp…
