Look Both Ways!
I can’t be the only who’s noticed that checking for traffic before crossing a street has become a lost art in the United States.
I remember very clearly that the first time my parents let me out of their eyesight, they had drilled the concept of “looking both ways” into my head.
Hell, the albino moose in this video does a better job than most Americans.

It’s hard to feel sorry for anyone who has any dealings with Trump whatsoever.

Americans Still Scratching Their Heads at Oklahoma’s High School U.S. History Textbooks
Sure, the Oklahoma school board’s decision to teach students that Trump was cheated out of the 2020 U.S. presidency by massive voter fraud was controversial, especially considering that 60+ courts throughout the nation found that there was no evidence to support the claim.
But one might have thought that people would eventually get tired of this topic and move on. After all, we are talking about a state that ranks #49 in education. Is all this really that conversation-worthy?
Apparently so. It doesn’t seem to be going away, at least on social media.
Trump Actually IS Doing What Most of His Voters Wanted Him to Do
A reader sent me this.
It’s true that the majority of his supporters are still completely thrilled with him. They love the criminality/corruption, the destruction of public education, the devastation of the environment, the end of friendly relationships with American allies that have been in place for hundreds of years, the turmoil in the financial world, the white supremacy, and especially the raw cruelty to everyone but the billionaires. It’s what our nation has become, and the country’s morons are celebrating.
Yes, he got precisely what he voted for. But will a criminal president succeed ultimately? I doubt it.

Converting Moonlight into Electrical Energy
There are no laws of science that you can’t convert moonlight into electrical energy, though there is a set of laws (called physics) that will render this incredibly unproductive. The moon produces a very small amount of power per square meter, around 0.0034 watts. This is approximately 300,00 times less than sunlight, which can reach 1,000 watts per square meter.
I think the average 10-year-old child, and probably 99% of high school students understand this intuitively. If I were interviewing a young person and trying to coax them along, I might proceed as follows:
Craig: When you go the the beach, what do you rub on your exposed skin?
Kid: Sun screen.
Craig: Why?
Kid: Otherwise you’ll get a sunburn.
Craig: Right. Do you know why?
Kid: The sun’s energy somehow “cooks” our skin.
Craig: Exactly. Now, what about the moon? If you were playing on the beach at night, would you be worried about getting a “moonburn?”
Kid: I don’t think so.
Craig: Why not?
Kid: The moon is just a piece of rock that reflects a tiny bit of the sun’s light.
Craig: That’s great! You can think! Be grateful. Many Americans have lost their ability to use their minds. You haven’t. That’s terrific.

Drivers Want to Know: Is Electricity Cheaper per Mile Than Gas?
Obviously, this is largely a function of where you live. But here’s a factor to consider: Many people charge their EV with the solar PV arrays on their rooves, and thus all their fuel is free.
I have a friend who has not put a molecule of gas in his car, or a single electron from the grid, in over 20 years of driving.

How Many Ways Can Trump Destroy the United States?
It’s impossible to answer that question with any real accuracy, because the president keeps surprising us with his creativity.
Could anyone have predicted a “brain drain” out of our top universities, where our brightest young folks are getting welcomed by our fiercest competitor?

Farmers Hit Hard By Trump’s Policies
“We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”
Why not? Inflicting pain is what these people do.
