As is normal, while these were the 10 most read pieces of mine in the past month, they weren't necessarily all from the last month.
With that, let's jump in, and we'll go reverse order this month for a big drumroll at the end.
No. 10 was posted the middle of last week and so is new indeed. "The Texas Tribune, its future and its legend" sums up my thoughts on the layoffs there in light of its history.
No. 9? My roundup of the latest pre-trial Warren Kenneth Paxton impeachment news. Will have more in the next couple of weeks! Speaking of, I got texted by Defend Texas Liberty PAC or whoever the hell, to sign a petition. They were targeting David Spiller (my state House legiscritter and of course one of the impeachment managers). I texted back that he was a lawyer himself and knew what he was doing, that for a Rethug, he'd make a much better AG than Paxton should Warren be convicted, Strangeabbott want him as a permanent replacement and he be interesting. I added that, if Christofascist Tim Dunn hadn't given them enough money, I'd mail a bag of dog feces for the cause. Then, of course, told them they were blocked.
No. 8 was a mid-month Texas Progressives roundup of various hypocrisies.
No. 7 is this year's version of my call-out of "more credulous precincts of the left," Jeff St. Clair's phrase which applies also to him in this case, over Hiroshima, this time over the word "justified."
No. 6 is really more credulous precincts of the left. Jacobin's Branko Marcetic extends previous cluelessness to cover his "duh" over Woody Harrelson backing RFK Jr.
No. 5? An expanded review, with an alt-history ending, of Jonathan Eig's excellent new bio of MLK.
No. 4? I call out #BernAnon's Ryan Knight for spreading misinformation about Jessica McCabe.
No. 3? I diss Michael Simpson, the self-styled "Skeptical Raptor," for his dissing without information the lab-leak theory of COVID.
No. 2? I call out Texas Parks and Wildlife for its lies and laziness about the former Fairfield Lake State Park.
DRUMROLL ....
No. 1? I call out Hunter Lovins, formerly of the Rocky Mountain Institute, for her latest neoliberal bullshit non-answer to climate change.
