Before we get to the main event, some THB housekeeping:
Over the next several days, some of you will hear from Substack via a direct email. Substack is paying for introductory paid subscriptions for THB’s most engaged free subscribers. That means if you take the offer, THB benefits at no cost to you — even if you do not continue your paid subscription beyond the introductory period. So if you are among those lucky enough to get one of these offers, please take it!
I am spending more time posting at Substack Notes (which you can find on the main menu of the THB homepage), which works much like X/Twitter. I’m still on X/Twitter and BlueSky — With the rapidly changing social media environment, I am figuring out how to be the most efficient and effective. I don’t use Facebook, as THB is banned there. Also, I have set THB Chat to paid subscribers only. At the THB Chat all paid subscribers have complete access and are invited to raise issues to discuss with me and others in the THB community.
Check out the THB Pro page, which has been updated.
Last housekeeping item: As I get closer to my post-tenured professor career, I figure I need to up my game with my professional website. I’ve totally updated it — RogerPielkeJr.com — and I welcome your feedback and suggestions.
I hear there is a U.S. election coming up soon.
Today, I am sharing some readings I’ve found worthwhile related to next week’s election as well as my extremely precise and accurate predictions, based on absolutely nothing more than my gut, sense of humor, and uncanny ESP. I invite your comments and discussion. Non-U.S. subscribers are invited to participate in the discussions as well, how do things look here in the USA from where you are?
With that, let’s jump . . .
