#Trump appears seven times in the flight logs for Jeffrey #Epstein’s Lolita Express.
On March 23, 1993, Jeffrey, Trump, and Erin Nance flew down from Teterboro to Palm Beach. On the 26th of that month Jeffrey and Trump flew back.

October 11, Trump flew with Jeffrey, Ghislaine Maxwell, DD, and SB from PBI to TEB. On October 17, Trump takes the same trip with essentially the same crew.
Tiffany was born on October 13, 1993.

Speaking of #StephanieMiller, I'll be on the show at the 9am Pacific Hour.
Spread the word! (Echo the word?)

Just thinking about what would happen in a normal political party if its presidential frontrunner said — out loud, on camera — that he's hoping for an economic crash that wouldn't cause him any political inconvenience. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/ugly-reason-trump-apparently-wants-economic-crash-2024-rcna133004

I opened the first IPCC report, released in 1990, and copied their scenario graphs for CO2 and CH4 emissions.

I marked the latest data with a red dot. Methane emissions in 2022 were 580 Mt and carbon dioxide emissions in 2023 were 40.7 GtCO2 (= 11.09 GtC).

Whatever you think about the IPCC you must admit their business-as-usual calculations were pretty robust.

The New York Times has launched a Flash player for their archived content. Figuring out how to make old flash content usable in archived sites is a big problem for web archives. Hope the approach here could also be used elsewhere. https://eagereyes.org/blog/2024/nytimes-web-flash-player

What Happened to Quora? "A large number of the questions are junk. Many are not really questions at all; they’re provocations. On those occasions when users do seem to be in search of useful answers, the ones they receive are, to put it mildly, uneven." https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/01/quora-tragedy-answer-websites/677062/

Spent the day telling people they didn't see an alien spacecraft.

If you see something in the sky, here's a little cheat sheet:

* 🛩️✈️ flashing lights and wings? Airplanes
* ✨ far away and not moving quickly and twinkling? Stars
* 🛰️ moving across the sky and it's a dot of light? Satellite/ISS
* moving across the sky and it's a lot of dots? Starlink
* "Wtf is that?!" SpaceX rocket

Last night it was a SpaceX rocket.

Ok. (you can still ask me ok, I don't mind answering)

"When #Nevada’s Republican voters receive their sample ballots for the state’s presidential primary this month, the name of the party’s frontrunner will be missing.

His absence has nothing to do with any legal challenges to Trump’s eligibility to participate in the state’s primary...

No, #Trump is ineligible because his campaign didn’t fill out an application to place him on the primary ballot."

Today's SWATing of Judge Chutkan makes me kinda open to reconsidering the value of Extraordinary Rendition as a means to deal with TFG and his thugs.

Well played, Mark Cuban.

I just went through 2 weeks at 11°F to 41°F, most of it below freezing, in a house heated by one heat pump. It worked very well. New options work in even lower temperatures: https://www.cnet.com/home/energy-and-utilities/most-heat-pumps-slow-down-in-frigid-cold-new-models-shown-at-ces-could-change-that/

In case you have a bit of spare money (via FB):

"In 2024, #abortion is on the ballot in at least nine states, and we HAVE to win them all. That means hitting the ground as hard as possible, in every way possible, together. That’s why we’re marching on January 20, in all 50 states, to safeguard #ReproductiveRights and freedoms for current and future generations, and challenge the politicians opposing them. "

@emmalbriant

I remember people speculating a few years back that the reason Epstein got away with it for so long was because of the blackmail angle.

@kkarhan @emmalbriant

I wonder if Justice Anthony Kennedy is on that list?*

*I deleted a post about Justice Breyer. My bad.
