SocraticGadfly: Top blogging of June 2026

Top blogging of June 2026

As normal, not necessarily posted in June, but per Blogger stats, the most commonly read in the month.

The normal drumroll counting backward:

At No. 10, I wrote contra Barbed Wire on Whataburger, or as I spell it, What? A Burger?, one of Texas' three biggest retail/food cults. That was from May, and carried over into June. 

At No. 9, from March, about how global warming is apparently speeding up, a worrisome issue in the climate crisis, of course.

No. 8? From April, where I talk about the economic boondoggle and environmental destructiveness likely to result from Texas' 2025 constitutional Proposition 4. 

No. 7, also from April, about the city of Denton, Texas' net-zero hypocrisies

No. 6, I talked about James Hansen's zeal for nuclear power as a weapon in holding off the climate crisis, a zeal with which I don't totally agree. Also from April!

No. 5 may be bot-driven? Who knows any more. It's a 2017 post about the Texas Green Party's drive to gain party-line ballot access by running a candidate in the general election in a statewide race for which no Democrat filed. 

No. 4? Finally, one from June. "John Cornyn: Walking self-dead.

No. 3? Appropriate for the Semiquincentennial, it's pretty much the last time I offered presidential ratings and ranks. From 2017.

No. 2? From June, about finding a real nutter on Substack. I've got a post just about a massive round of blocks slated for early July, but this guy was so nutter he got his own.

No. 1? From June, about Kenny Boy Paxton's impeachment attorney endorsing James Talarico and related matters.
