Rather than creating a “Return to Sanity” post:
“Do not allow people to enter the store without taking off their face mask and then once they’re inside they can continue to wear if they so desire to do so,” Adams told 1010-WINS.

I’ve noticed an increased use of the word “interrogate” and “interrogation” in the social pseudosciences. “Interrogation” has historically been used to describe a powerful person subjecting another to aggressive questioning. A reasonable interpretation is that this increase indicates a sense of entitled power on the part of the social pseudosciences - shifting from mere “questioning” to what they like to call a “power relation” with those “subjected” to their “interrogations”. So when I went looking for an example of the use of this word in recent “scholarship” it was most humorous that this quote was the first to show up. This author has no self-awareness – which is unsurprising since she is from George Washington University, floating in the sea of monetary Fentanyl that flows out of Washington, DC. Pure insolation from any kind of self-awareness is the state of our Serene Highnesses in DC.

It’s worth comparing the anti-Telegraph narrative with Dominic Cummings’s inside view:

One has to wonder about where the data on “murders” in Medieval Europe came from? And what is the +/- uncertainty band around those numbers. To say nothing about how the authors of the data adjusted for things like Europe’s bloody 30 Years War and Hundred Years War? There must have been lots of murders that were mixed in with combat deaths . Presumably, there were also lots of deaths from “accidents” in farms, forests, and boats that would have been deemed “suspicious” if there had ever been an investigation.

Newly released surveillance footage aired on Tucker Carlson Tonight shows Jake Angeli (also known as the QAnon Shaman) being escorted to the Senate floor during the January 6th “insurrection”.
At one point, the officers are seen walking Chansley [who goes by the surname Angeli] past seven other police officers milling around outside the Senate chamber, who barely give him a second look.
Then they escort him to various entrances of the chamber that appear to be locked. Eventually, they help him open a door, and he enters the chamber.
Chansley, a 33-year-old Navy veteran from Arizona, has been jailed for almost four years for “obstructing an official proceeding.”
In a jailhouse interview played by Carlson, he says: “The one very serious regret that I have [is] believing that when we were waved in by police officers, that it was acceptable.”
The film Q Sent Me tells the story of Jake Angeli and explores his motivations for becoming the QAnon Shaman.

What a marvelous tool to “interrogate, expose and challenge assumptions” held by individuals during Diversity Equity and Inclusion struggle sessions. Is GWU getting funding?

Still high property values in Matlacha, FL, despite the building being blown off the property during Ian.
Interestingly this property was built on fill and posts along the 1920s causeway, presumably by squatters who were given title in the 1970s iirc

The word for this kind of CO2 storage project is “Bad Engineering”. The project takes a valuable resource, CO2, with many uses such as in agriculture, and throws it away – at great expense. The project takes valuable industrial & financial resources which could be used to build schools & hospitals and instead throws them away sequestering that valuable CO2. The whole concept is so wasteful!

If they’re pumping the CO₂ into depleted North Sea oil fields, then presumably if they decide they want to get the CO₂ back, all they’d need to do is drill for it and bring it up just as you do for natural gas. I can’t imagine why this would be necessary (since there are vast amount of CO₂ you can capture at the source at industrial emitters such as fossil fuel power plants and cement factories), but it could be done.

So let me get this straight, because of man’s ability to create synthetic things that don’t naturally breakdown harming the planet, we are going to take a naturally occurring element and put it in a synthetic thing and throw it in the goddamned ocean? We are being so played.

Usually the expectation is that the expensively-injected CO2 will dissolve in the water that fills abandoned oil fields, which creates carbonic acid and probably starts a series of chemical reactions with the rock. Of course, there are serious corrosion issues during the injection phase. Those problems will likely be even worse if later recovery of the CO2 requires producing hot wet acid gas up steel-lined wells. Getting the CO2 back will probably be even more expensive than was injecting it in the first place. What a waste of limited precious resources!
The whole concept is simply Bad Engineering. Good engineering would be putting the valuable CO2 to productive use immediately.
