t cooperating. All right. Well, that's weird. I guess it doesn't matter if he confesses or not. I mean, he might have a slightly nonzero chance of, I don't know, saying he was innocent and maybe somehow getting off. I don't know. It seems unlikely. But anyway, one of the sub-stories that is coming out of this is that the governor of Utah, that's Governor Cox, is becoming very high-profile. It's getting a lot of attention. People having positive and negative thoughts about him. But so it's a story about a guy who may or may not have been a little bit trans sometime who was dating a trans and it's being handled by Governor Cox. So all I notice is there are a lot of ins in that one story.

I saw a post by Coddled Affluent Professional who noted, as I have noted as well, that it seems like the climate change hysteria has sort of magically gone away. Have you all noticed that? Remember, we used to be just inundated with, oh, the climate's going to kill you. You don't have much time left. You better spend all your billions of dollars, blah blah blah. And Coddled Affluent Professional said he had two theories for why we're not hearing so much about climate change hysteria. One is that the climate hysteria was astroturfed. In other words, maybe billionaires were funding it and they had their own reasons, but it wasn't because it was real. And funding got pulled with Biden out. So it could be that the people who were looking to make gigantic amounts of money by convincing you that the green stuff, well, not the green stuff, but more the climate hysteria was real, they don't have any money to make because the money's been getting dried up. So instead of saying, "Oh, it's worse than it was before," because now we still have the climate emergency, but can you believe it? The money to address it has been taken away. So now it's way worse, right? So if the funding had been taken away, shouldn't there be more complaining about the emergency? Not less. Unless the degree of complaining was directly related to how much important people thought they could make in terms of getting funding from the government
