Top blogging for November 2024

These are the 10 most-viewed posts in the past month. Not all of them were necessarily written IN the last month, though; those that were not will be noted.

And with that, the usual drumroll ..... and we start at the bottom with ...

No. 10? This was about climate change cheating in Paris, ie, the "overshoot" that nations and corporations of the world could let global temperatures increase more than 1.5°C while finding (usually tech-neoliberal) angles to then pull us back below that mark. I wrote it in mid-November in run-up to COP29, which, like Paris, did shit.

No. 9? Nothing simpler than "The enshittification of Shitter gets worse." That said, the particular issue I was complaining about was ended (for now?) just a day or two after I wrote. Hold on to that "for now."

No. 8? I put out my version of a Texas Progressives Roundup the week after election day, since Charles Kuffner was too foxhole-crushed to do one.

No. 7? Bob Marley-themed snark (which Facebook/Fuckbook/Hucksterman) kept trying to censor, on the 61st anniversary of Nov. 22, 1963: "I shot the JFK, but I did not shoot the LBJ."

No. 6 was more snark, and election-related: "Librul guilt over Palestine." And yes, "librul" is the way you spell it.

No. 5? Yes MOAR snark. MAGA-sized snark! Riffing on Ken Klippenstein's running the Iran-hacked JD Vance "vetting" research, I posted what was allegedly Trump's "hiring interview" with Vance.

No. 4? Krystal Ball and Kyle Kulinski were full of shit with their left-BlueAnon "Bernie would have won" piece, and I had no problem calling them out.

No. 3? Also serious election-related. It's my election wrap, focused on third parties, and taking a look at the Libertarian Party's presidential implosion, something that the likes of Independent Political Report and Ballot-Access News so far refuse (that's the word) to od.

No.2? My look at the Arab-American and Muslim-American "break point" in this election.

No. 1? Actually made the last weekend in October, it's my presidential election prediction. And yes, I got it wrong. And, I added a post-mortem, that included a call-out of Brains, who still basically denies that ethical mutual funds are the ethical thing to do if you're a third-party presidential candidate.
